Devastatingly soulful vocalist, dynamic harmonica master and superlative songwriter Chris O'Leary will perform live at Middle C Jazz in Charlotte on Wednesday, August 28, 2024. O'Leary's latest release is his Alligator Records debut album, The Hard Line. The Marine veteran and ex-Federal police officer and former lead singer of Levon Helm’s Barn Burners has walked a hard line from his upstate New York home to stages all over the world. His keenly written songs come directly from his colorful and sometimes harrowing life experiences.
