Chris Duarte starts 2017 in Florida!

The Chris Duarte Group heads to South Central Florida to kick off 2017
with a five-show run including the opening night headliner for the Suncoast Blues Festival at the
Sarasota Fairgrounds!  Other shows will be hosted by Ray Lewis at the Mudville Music Room in Jacksonville, a
return to The Alley in Sanford, a stop at Boston’s on the Beach in Delray Beach, and
finishing at The Barrel Room in Fort Myers.

The Chris Duarte Group had a banner year in 2016, highlighted by
Chris Duarte being inducted into the Canadian Blues Hall of Fame while
touring in Windsor, spending two weeks in the Sturgis, South Dakota area up
to and during Bike Week and introducing his power-trio style of Blues to
new fans at several new stops across our great Nation.

Another highlight was a three-show sell-out in Joplin, Missouri – such
a success that the Coda Concert House moved to a larger venue
to accommodate guests who traveled from all across the country to witness
the inaugural Jimi Hendrix Birthday tribute concert and two additional
concerts – the final night was a very rare Jazz-Blues Improv show with
special guests Jesse Aycock & Paul Benjaman.

Chris Duarte finished 2016 in his hometown of Austin, Texas playing at
his standing Monday night gigs at The One2One, and a dual headline concert
with Beth Lee and the Breakups at The Townsend.
