In 1972, DuPree returned to Texas and performed his original Folk and Blues compositions in Texas and the surrounding states through the mid 80’s. His experiences in Louisiana are still reflected in his work today. In 1985, DuPree left the performing arena to concentrate on Songwriting.

The Dudes also traveled to England in 2005 and played to full houses in London and in the Winchester area.

With the release of his new CD, “Delta Flyer”,produced by Jack Saunders, Stevie DuPree now embarks on a solo career that is destined to bring his music to the forefront. Whether relating a personal experience from his travels, or a tall tale, DuPree is a storyteller capable of transporting the listener to the scene of the crime.
