Press

“There’s a plaintive wail in bluesman Andy O’Brien’s voice when he sings, a spark of melancholy that cracks in between verses. It’s the sort of deep emotional content one turns to the blues for, and on songs such as “Life is Like That” and “Midnight Special,” O’Brien conjures emotion like a musical sorcerer. And then there’s his harmonica, which has a way of skipping cold across your chest. The effect is absolutely devastating.”

— Victor D. Infante, Worcester Telegram & Gazette

“Genuine and bluesy, so cool!”

— Monica Dupont, National Heritage Foundation BLUES HALL OF FAME - San Francisco, CA

Music is all day long but we specifically perform from 2:30pm - 4:00pm. I hope to see some friendly faces in the crowd. There is a full day of fun to be had, so check out the events main website. Thank you again for your support of local and live music. Harmonically yours, Andy
