CHRIS O’LEARY BAND  (Saturday)

“Chris O’Leary and his band launched a powerful, horn-driven set marked by his harmonica’s wail ‘n’ howl. O’Leary - an alum of Levon Helm’s blues group the Barnburners, as well as the bands of such blues legends as James Cotton and Hubert Sumlin - sang and played the Mississippi harp…{a set that}criss-crossed the modern blues landscape from Muddy Waters to Johnny Winter.”
--- Andrzej Pilarczyk
