Sitting in front of the stage on a plastic chair is David “Chainsaw” Dupont. Chainsaw is one of the best-known blues guitarists in the city. He plays chords in fast succession, like a chainsaw, hence his nickname. Today, he’s here to listen. He has a straw hat shading his eyes, and over his denim shirt, a heavy silver chain dangling a mask of King Tutankhamen, the Egyptian pharaoh. New times call for new gods, though, and the 59-year-old believes they created their new, musical kingdom in Chicago.
