Chris Duarte's Rockin-Blues sound incorporates elements of jazz, rockin blues, rock and roll and so much more that makes for his awesome and origional sound.
The Chris Duarte Group emerged on the scene out of Austin, Texas in the early 90’s and quickly gained notoriety as being among the best of the best. In the wake of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s passing, Duarte quickly gained a National reputation as young man many fans compared at times to the late guitarist.
To classify Chris Duarte simply as a Blues Man is an understatement. In his own words, “rockin’ blues” or ”punk blues” describes him best. “Ferocious blues” also fits.
Legend has it that Chris will sometimes play so hard that his fingers bleed during a set. Chris Duarte plays more than 150 dates a year all over the U.S and abroad including headlining major festivals and clubs throughout the US, Canada and Europe.
