Devastatingly soulful vocalist, dynamic harmonica master and superlative songwriter Chris O’Leary is appearing at Blind Willie’s Blues Club on Saturday, October 4. O’Leary will be celebrating his new release, The Hard Line, an infectious album of rollicking roadhouse R&B, hard-hitting Chicago blues and wrenching ballads, packed with keen observations on life and love, shot through with everyman wisdom and humor. Living Blues magazine calls O’Leary’s music “Gritty blues and soulful ballads [performed with] absolute authority. A potent, tour-de-force.”
Chris’s musical background includes duties as lead singer and front man for rock and roll hall of famer and Grammy award winner Levon Helm’s band, The Barnburners. During the 6 years that Chris and Levon played together they toured across the US and Canada lighting up stages everywhere they went. 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 to name just a few.
