 The Chris O'Leary Band just won The 2011 Blues Blast Awards for New Artist Debut Release for their CD "Mr. Used To Be". The band performed live on WGLT Blues radio. They were also a finalist at the 32nd Annual Blues Music Awards in Memphis for Best New Artist Debut.
We're not surprised. Chris O'Leary is one of the Hudson Valley's hottest Blues harp players, and his band is made up of seasoned Blues musicians, including "scorching" blues guitarist Chris Vitarello, Sean McCarthy on drums, Willa McCarthy on vocals, Frankie Ingrao on bass, and Andy Stahl and Chris DiFrancesco on sax. The band's powerful, horn-driven sets are marked by O'Leary wailing on harmonica.
Chris O'Leary was the lead singer and front man for Levon Helm for over 7 years, and has performed with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Jimmy Vivino, Dave Maxwell and many others. If you love great Blues, don't miss this night!
