Chris Beard

MVBS.org and the City of Davenport have partnered for a Summer Concert Series fundraiser at Quinlan Court. Born in 1957, Chris Beard is the son of blues guitarist, Joe Beard, who grew up on Beale Street in the 1950s. When family friends like Matt “Guitar” Murphy and Buddy Guy stopped by to visit, young Beard became their willing pupil. Chris says, “when your father grew up on Beale Street and music was in your DNA, then blues is who you are and what you do.” Having honed his act for years, this show is not to be missed. Listen to “Ten Toes Up” and see what all the talk is about.
