Crow Black Chicken began life as a blues band, and have since evolved into some kind of musical Frankenstein, fusing jazz, blues, punk, folk and rock to create something rather special.

Crow Black Chicken have earned a reputation as one of Irelands top blues acts. This power trio of Christy O Hanlon (Vocals, Guitar, Stephen McGrath (Bass) and Gev Barrett (Drums, backing vocals) combine elements of folk and hard rock with the blues rock of bands like Gov't mule, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin to create their greasy blues rock sound.

"These guys do the nasty blues like the devil hisself was hurting and rock like they'll skate come judgement day" Ray Wylie Hubbard

"CBC could save rock and roll" Alvin Youngblood Hart
