The Chris O'Leary Band Biography
Devastatingly soulful vocalist, dynamic harmonica master and superlative songwriter Chris O'Leary is among the blues and roots world's most talented unsung heroes. The award-winning O'Leary--disciple and friend of both The Band's legendary drummer/vocalist/songwriter Levon Helm and iconic blues harmonica giant James Cotton--has been playing professionally since the 1990s, with five previous solo albums to his credit. The Marine veteran, ex-Federal police officer, former lead singer of The Barn Burners (featuring Levon Helm on drums) and loving father has walked a hard line from his upstate New York home to stages all over the world. No Depression magazine says, "O'Leary's voice contains startling emotion...reaching an intensity and emotional rawness [that's] primal. The performances practically vibrate with an authenticity that stays with you."
