Outdoor party at private residence.

Wildcat O'Halloran were so fun and professional. Everyone enjoyed their music and entertainment. They were punctual and even played extra songs that were requested. We would hire them again and even venture out to see them play elsewhere!

Great Entertainers!

These guys were a pleasure to work with. They showed up on time and worked around the previous act to set up, total pros. The set list was great for a biker event and they had the crowd rocking. They will definitely be on our recall list for future events.

Up- energy, danceable Blues, mixed with Hendrix/Allmans/Clapton stuff....even some "impossible" covers......jaw-dropping guitar work....complete professionalism before, during, and after the show.....we're never late, and NEVER cancel!

About

The Wildcat O'Halloran Band has been thrilling audiences in Western Massachusetts for over thirty years, and is currently promoting its 20th album "Lead Me Not Into Temptation"... building on the success of the previous : " Here Lies A Fool" " Can't fall off the floor", Hot Pulldown", "Midnight Service Call","Party Up In Heaven", “Cougar Bait” and “Drinkin' With the Harp Girls” each of which was played on over 200 stations, and called “crazy-fun” by the Boston Blues Society and “a great release” by the UK's Blues Matters. Living Blues Magazine wrote: “Wildcat emerges as one of the most entertaining songwriters in contemporary blues...and his band doesn't know the meaning of dull!”

The band has opened for just about every major blues artist to visit Massachusetts, from Greg Allman to John Lee Hooker to The Stray Cats, and has been backup band for Bo Diddley and James Cotton. Recently, they opened for Coco Montoya and later Duke Robillard at Northampton's Iron Horse Music Hall.

Always in the blues radio charts, and host of the long-running Sunday Blues Jam in Northampton, the Wildcat (guitar and vocals) will often be accompanied by Kathy Peterson (Bass, vocals), “Ottomatic Slim" ( Harp, vocals) and drummer George Perrault

Living Blues added these kudos while reviewing the Wildcat: “the grooves are so damned infectious, and the guitar playing so stirring....The Wildcat O'Halloran Band can make you dance and make you laugh if you let it...irresistible”.... Temptation CD getting rave reviews and airplay!

Influences & Inspiration

Influenced by James Cotton, with whom we worked many times....also Buddy Guy, The Allman Bros, John Lee Hooker, JGeils (worked with most of them also).....once served as Bo Diddley's band, though not particularly influenced....I guess we all were UNDER the influence by the end of that show

Setup Requirements

we are self-contained for small and medium sized venues....need only 2-15A outlets....for larger shows we will email mic placement
