The opening act for ZZ Top at the Seagate Center is The Chris Duarte Group. His style is a rhythmic Texas blues-rock. His sound has been compared to the likes of the late,great (but never forgotten) Stevie Ray Vaughn and the venerable Blues jammer Johnny Winter. Duarte is from Austin,Texas and is an apparent Up-and-Comer in the music scene. Opening for ZZ Top has to be an honor,to say the least,and I'll bet they caught word of his talent and he 'got the nod',so to say. (This show should be slammin'!)
