Chris O’Leary is among the blues and roots world’s most talented unsung heroes. The Marine veteran, ex-Federal police officer, and former lead singer for rock and roll hall of famer and Grammy award winner Levon Helm’s band The Barnburners, has walked a hard line from his upstate New York home to stages all over the world.
Chris has appeared on stage with Legendary Rolling Stones sideman Bobby Keys, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Jimmy Vivino, Jeff Healy, Dan Akroyd, Albert Lee, Dave Edmunds, Dave Maxwell, and the great James Cotton, among others.
Described as “a forceful harp player, a powerful singer, and a natural frontman”, concert-goers can expect soulful ballads and entertaining roadhouse blues styles, from boogie-woogie to Southside Chicago to Louisiana stompers.
Individual concert tickets are $30 and a season pass for all 3 spring concerts in the series is $75.
