Piano Fondue is a limited liability company based in Madison, Wisconsin, and it is owned by the husband and wife team of Josh Dupont and Francie Phelps.

Josh Dupont started Piano Fondue Dueling Pianos back in 2005 with his fellow musician and co-founder, Chris Lange. He has spent the past eighteen years and thousands of performances perfecting the show!

Josh was born and raised in Mississippi, where he was steeped in blues and jazz from his early years. He stuck around for a while, earning his Bachelors in Arts at Millsaps College in Jackson. After spending three years in Texas, directing church choirs, musicals, and performing both classical and rock music, Josh moved to Madison, Wisconsin.

Josh and his wife, Francie Phelps, run Piano Fondue as a family business, and they employ over a dozen musicians and technicians. A couple years ago, they made the decision to move from the “independent contractor” model of business to the “employee” model. It has been a game-changer. The organization operates with new levels of trust and accountability. Gone are the days where Piano Fondue was “just another gig.” The support provided by unemployment insurance as well as workers’ compensation insurance lets our employees know that we appreciate them.
