Ventura Music Festival — Blues TOMORROW, more music next month!

Tomorrow in Ojai – Big Blues!

From our friends at Ojai Underground, and sponsored by Ventura Music Festival, join us for THE CHRIS O’LEARY BAND. A devastatingly soulful vocalist, dynamic harmonica master, and superlative songwriter, Chris O’Leary is among the blues and roots world’s most talented unsung heroes.

A former frontman for Levon Helm’s Barn Burners, O’Leary has carved out his own legacy as a fiery vocalist, dynamic harmonica player, and storyteller whose sound carries the grit of Chicago blues, the swing of New Orleans, and the raw edge of rock ’n’ roll. With multiple Blues Music Award nominations and an acclaimed catalog on American Showplace and Alligator Records, Chris O’Leary brings an electrifying stage presence and a band that’s as tight as it is explosive.
