Chaz has been a regular visitor to the Warrenpoint Blues on the Bay Festival where he is now regarded as an integral part of that great event. This is the first visit Chaz DePaolo is making to a Dundalk venue and he is chomping at the bit to make his presence felt here. This is a high profile gig being organized by Dundalk FM not only to bring international talent into the town but it is also a major fundraiser for the community radio station. Dundalk FM are indebted to Fyffe’s Ireland for their generous sponsorship of the event which made the booking of this Blues legend possible.

The top UK blues magazine “Blues Matters” has described Chaz as “”the man who has developed into one of the most exciting talents in 21st century electric blues music”. On top of that Chaz has released two critically acclaimed rocking blues albums “Flirtin’ with The Blues” (2006) and “Bluestopia” (2009) which have had music reviewers frothing at the mouth.
