The band will be bring­ing every­thing a blues fan could want to Pough­keep­sie this Fri­day night, June 29.

Look­ing for an ear­ly evening, art and live blues? Come hear the band play out­doors in the sculp­ture gar­den at Vas­sar Col­lege’s art muse­um (just inside the front gates of the cam­pus), right after you take a half-hour tour of the new­ly-designed sculp­ture gar­den at 7pm. Light refresh­ments will be served.

Can’t get to Pough­keep­sie till lat­er in the evening for your blues fix, or have tick­ets to a play the Vas­sar Pow­er­house? Swing on over to the BeechTree Grill on Col­legeview Ave. at the north end of Vas­sar’s cam­pus from 10pm onwards to hear the band tear­ing it up in this pop­u­lar local din­ing and drink­ing establishment.

They’re sure to be play­ing many of the songs from their just-released sec­ond CD, plus all your old favorites. We’ll see you there!

Blues singer and under­rat­ed harp mas­ter Chris O’Leary fol­lows up on his crit­i­cal­ly-acclaimed release Mr. Used To Be with a new white-hot slab o’ soul ‘n’ blues titled Wait­in’ For The Phone To Ring. Thir­teen new orig­i­nal num­bers, pro­duced by tal­ent­ed gui­tarist Dave Gross, lots of gui­tars and horns and, of course, O’Leary’s great voice and har­mon­i­ca tone…what more could a blues fan want? (Release date: 06/26/12)

The fol­low­ing is a text from Chris: “Good gig, packed house- Lots of miles…Canadian crowds are  very appre­cia­tive!!! Can’t wait to go back.

The Chris O’Leary Band will be play­ing on Vas­sar’s cam­pus at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Cen­ter from 7:30 to 9:30 pm. Can’t get there that ear­ly? Well, then head on down the road to the BeechTree Grill lat­er that night from 10 pm onwards to see them play there!
