Album: Waiting For the Phone to Ring | Official Website: thechrisolearyband.net/
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 Barn burners. 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. Chris has also recorded with Bill Perry and Hubert Sumlin, among others.

The Chris O’Leary Band’s debut CD “Mr. Used to Be” won the 2011 Best New Artist Debut CD Blues Blast Award and was nominated for best new artist debut at the 2011 American Blues Music Awards.

“The anticipated follow-up to Mr. Used To Be, O’Leary’s stellar debut from 2011, is a rollicking collection of 13 well-crafted original with a decidedly Nawlins R&B/swamp blues feel with four tasty forays into West Coast jump.… O’Leary is a skilled master blaster himself and his brawny harmonica perfectly complements his sturdy, no-nonsense vocals that are reminiscent of James Harman and Kim Wilson.” — Blues Revue Magazine, Issue 137

The regular members of the band include:

Shiela Klinefelter — bass
Pete Kanaras — bass
Mike Lynch — guitar
Andy Stahl — tenor sax
Chuck Cotton — drums
Brooks Milgate — piano/organ
