The Chris Bevington Organisation

Chris Bevington is the latest in a long-line of great Blues artists who has rubbed his metaphorical shoulders alongside the greats of era’s past and alongside some of his confidants and comrades have dedicated the last year to laying down some of the most gorgeous sounds imaginable in his album Chris Bevington and Friends.

Although cover versions can sometimes tell you very little about the artist recording them, aside from their own, sometimes fascinating, taste in music, Chris Bevington and Friends reveals so much of the intensity that emanates from the man’s thoughts and through his playing ability. The songs he has covered, the sublime Crossroads, I Don’t Need No Doctor, the excellent Blue On Black, She’s Out There Somewhere and All I Want Is You, uncover a man who knows his way round the Blues history like a person who has been studying for years to get their Doctorate, each note dedicated to sounding as pure and as wholesome as possible. These songs aren’t faded copies in which to get the interest of the new fan, they are songs which are sang direct from the heart, the laying down of tracks in which resonate across the decades and which still hold relevance to the current crop of Blues admirers.

The Band originates from North Staffordshire, the current line-up has been together since 2022 and has toured across the UK playing Festivals and Gigs. The Band comprises of 10 members and boasts a 3-piece Brass section to complete the Line up. CBO originally started in 2013 with the release of their first Studio Album and since that time we have added a further 4 Albums with the 6th Album expected to be released in early 2026. The bands aim is too present a large and upbeat sound and draw from Music influences across the Blues world and create a unique stage sound that we hope people enjoy.
The Band was setup by Chris after many years in Music and the Blues Scene, with a desire to create a Big Blues Band and be able to play all styles of Music. The current set list comprises of a mix of self-penned tracks from the 6 Albums and also choice tracks from very well-respected Artists which are complimented by the big CBO Band sound.
With the Release of the 3rd and 4th Albums the Band were delighted to be nominated for a UK Blues Award for Best Album and Best Band in 2020 and have picked up a number of International Awards for the Album “Cut and Run”.
So, going forward, the new Album will be released in 2026 and the Band will be playing tracks at all the Festivals and Gigs
We really hope to see you on the Road
