Lucky 17 brings together four distinct musical voices to create a sound that is greater than the sum of its parts. With roots in folk, rock, and country, the band blends rich harmonies, evocative melodies, and insightful lyrics to craft a unique and timeless Americana sound. Whether delivering haunting ballads, toe-tapping anthems, or reflective storytelling, Lucky 17 offers a sonic experience that resonates deeply with audiences.
The band features Caroline Barlow, Tony Pace, Daniel “Ozzie” Andrews, and Ed Dupas—each an accomplished musician with a story to tell:
Caroline Barlow, a singer, songwriter, and artistic director based in Petoskey, Michigan, brings a heartfelt sensibility and a voice reminiscent of Gillian Welch and Mary Chapin Carpenter. With two decades of experience in folk and roots music, she lends her deep love of storytelling and connection to Lucky 17’s harmonious blend.
Tony Pace, a seasoned dobro player and multi-instrumentalist, channels the lonesome spirit of Acoustic Roots. After co-founding the bluegrass group Wayward Roots and performing with Cold Tone Harvest at venues like the Ann Arbor Folk Festival, Tony brings his rich musicality and instrumental prowess to Lucky 17.
Daniel “Ozzie” Andrews, a versatile bassist with a global resume, has played stages from Detroit to San Francisco and around the world. With glowing reviews like Ann Powers’ nod in The New York Times, his steady groove and dynamic range anchor the band’s diverse musical palette.
Ed Dupas, an Americana artist based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, adds a lyrical depth shaped by his journey through life’s triumphs and challenges. With influences like Springsteen and Kristofferson, Ed’s songwriting captures the beauty and struggle of the human condition, providing a resonant voice for Lucky 17’s emotional landscapes.
Since debuting at Blissfest in Northern Michigan, Lucky 17 has been steadily weaving their way into the regional music scene, building a reputation for their compelling performances and unique sound. Together, they create music that feels like a journey—at once deeply personal and universally relatable.

Americana singer-songwriter Ed Dupas’ lived-in melodies unwind with reflective lyrics and speak to the current state of the human condition, soothing where possible, agitating where necessary, and seeking change where appropriate.

Crafted from the heart, Ed Dupas’ simple yet soulful music flows from an array of broad social themes to more personal narratives of love and loss. Rooted in both realism and idealism, Ed's musical goal is deeper inquiry and exploration for himself and his listeners. With comparisons ranging from Steve Earle to Bruce Springsteen, Ed paints a sonic picture of the road less traveled and the world de-familiarized. Ed Dupas creates and shares well-worn wide-awake music.

As both a purveyor and enthusiast of small batch music, Dupas is at ease performing in both intimate and spacious settings, focusing less on a specific crowd appeal and more on the creation of a new space - one in which both he and the audience can re-imagine the world. With head moving, foot tapping and body swaying, Dupas often appears unaware of his surroundings, as if lost in the musical process. Born in Houston, Texas and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Dupas is a self-described searcher and thinker, whose religious upbringing managed only to push him away from mainstream ideas, rather than box him in. His father was a computer programmer and his mother worked odd jobs, both trying to make ends meet while fulfilling the obligations of raising three children. Growing up, music was a staple in the household, and family gatherings unfurled to the sounds of children and adults singing familiar songs accompanied by acoustic guitars and a wash tub bass. As a teenager, Dupas returned with his family to the United States, where they made their home just outside of Detroit, MI.
