Rocker CHRIS DUARTE Headlines The Backstage with Durarte
Chris Duarte emerged on the scene out of Austin, Texas in the early 90’s and gained notoriety after wowing a packed room of industry insiders at the South X Southwest convention. In the wake of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s passing, Duarte quickly gained a national reputation as young man imbued with a playing style comparable at times to the late guitarist. After fielding interest from a number of labels, Duarte signed to Silvertone Records and his debut album “Texas Sugar/Strat Magik” reportedly sold in excess of 100,000 units in the United States, no small feet for a blues/rock guitarist. This coupled with Duarte’s strong commitment to touring, was the impetus for Chris’ winning the “Best New Talent” in Guitar Player’s 1995 Reader’s Poll. He also finished fourth in the magazine’s “Best Blues Guitarist” category that year behind legends Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and B.B. King. On Tuesday, May 6, you can see Chris with rockin' Will Owen Gage, Steven Vague on sax, Lannie Hilboldt on bass, and drums and host Ernie Durawa. Tickets are only $15 at the door. Doors: 6:30 pm. Showtime: 7:00 pm. Tasty Tex-Mex and Margaritas are served in the showroom and ample tree parking is a plus.
