	Chris's world class blues band tucks into The Falcon Underground to deliver the New Year! http://thechrisolearyband.net/ The Chris O'Leary Band's music is rooted in the blues and steeped in the tradition of Memphis, Chicago and New Orleans with shades of New Orleans, rockabilly and big, high-energy sound. Levon Helm can be heard in Chris's early sessions, and sitting in with regular gigs. Soon, Levon asked Chris to join the house band at his new club in New Orleans. Chris’s band relocated and became the focal point of Levon Helm's Barn Burners, backing up touring stars and opening for New Orleans' finest players. Their CD" Gonna Die Tryin" is first-rate musi­cian­ship through­out, and the mate­r­ial truly shines. O’Leary’s band is a world-touring group on the rise. at Blues Now Basel, Switzerland: https://youtu.be/HOO4l3v971M Water's Risin': https://youtu.be/iefhZ6MY1Dc
