# Event Details - **Event Name**: Chris Duarte Group: Ferocious Texas Blues - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 20 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Wed, 20 May, 2026 at 10:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Chris is a savant, a sorcerer of tone, & a master at channeling the spirits and sounds of great musicians of our past. See him this spring.About this EventTo classify Chris Duarte simply as a Blues Man is an understatement. In his own words, “rockin’ blues” or ”punk blues” describes him best. “Ferocious blues” also fits. Legend has it that Chris will play so hard that his fingers bleed in a set. The legend is true. Photos attest.Chris Duarte is a road warrior playing more than 150 dates a year. As well, Chris has headlined major festivals and clubs throughout the US, Canada and Europe.Chris is a savant, a sorcerer of tone, a master at channeling the spirits and sounds of great musicians of our past, while remaining completely recognizable in his own sound. He has shared his stage with many of the greatest musicians of our time as well as the multitude of “young lions” and local musicians he meets on the road. From his many years as a side man in Austin, he easily changes roles from front to side, graciously allowing all to share the conversation of the jam.Chris Duarte’s music is ever changing. In many interviews, he has said “Music must evolve.” His own early offerings often become magical journeys into changing tempo and jazzy interludes before returning to their core. With such a vast catalog of recordings, there are no two shows alike. Every set list is different, and each song may be offered distinctly, based on the feel of a show and the audience. For those reasons, loyal fans often return to a Chris Duarte show again and again, and always walk away awed and satisfied to have witnessed such a legendary, but humble guitarist.The Chris Duarte Group emerged on the scene out of Austin, Texas in the early 90’s and gained notoriety after wowing a packed room of industry insiders at the South X Southwest convention. In the wake of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s passing, Duarte quickly gained a National reputation as young man imbued with a playing style comparable at times to the late guitarist. After fielding interest from a number of labels, Duarte signed to Silvertone Records and his debut album “Texas Sugar/Strat Magik” reportedly sold in excess of 100,000 units in the United States, no small feat for a blues/rock guitarist. This coupled with Duarte’s strong commitment to touring, was the impetus for Chris’ winning the “Best New Talent” in Guitar Player’s 1995 Reader’s Poll. He also finished fourth in the magazine’s “Best Blues Guitarist” category that year behind legends Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and B.B. King. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/6e30c010-de1a-11f0-be88-4bb1e5591fe3-rimg-w1200-h254-dcffffff-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 07:00 PM - 08:00 PMDOORS🕑: 08:00 PM - 10:00 PMSHOW - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/hagerstown/chris-duarte-group-ferocious-texas-blues/100001977827873411 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 29, max: 29, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Hagerstown - **state**: MD - **country**: United States - **location**: Live At Hub City Vinyl - **lat**: 39.6390256 - **long**: -77.7212725 - **full address**: Live At Hub City Vinyl, 28 East Baltimore Street, Hagerstown, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Chris Duarte Group: Ferocious Texas Blues - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/ffa05ffd22ec8bafb1b6d1415c6eb615ac6ea208b56e0f32a70a5b8cab929e0a-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd8157c-gmir.jpg?v=1766290319 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Chris Duarte Group: Ferocious Texas Blues being held? - **A:** Chris Duarte Group: Ferocious Texas Blues takes place on Wed, 20 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Wed, 20 May, 2026 at 10:00 pm at Live At Hub City Vinyl, 28 East Baltimore Street, Hagerstown, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Chris Duarte Group: Ferocious Texas Blues? - **A:** Chris Duarte Group: Ferocious Texas Blues is organized by Live at Hub City Vinyl. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Live at Hub City Vinyl's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Live at Hub City Vinyl a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
