Chris O’Connor has had an enduring fascination with the blues of the 1920s and 30s masters, from players such as Son House, Willie McTell and Blind Blake. His expert blues renditions use 6 and 12 string guitars and a well-worn steel bodied National resonator for a full rich sound. In performance, he ranges from string-snapping delta blues to hypnotic minor key laments, gospel shouts, slide guitar instrumentals and ragtime songs with sparkling finger picked accompaniment. Chris O’Connor has been well received at major East Coast blues and folk festivals and is now heading to Hotel Blue for the his second time. When talent like this comes along, you get off your couch and buy a ticket! Part of the ‘Roaring 20s Festival’ and held at Hotel Blue – The Home of the Blues! Welcome to the ‘Blues Mountains’ y’all!
