GUITARIST | VOCALIST | TOURING & SESSION MUSICIAN | GUEST ENTERTAINER
​
​
Chet O’Connell has earned a formidable reputation as one of New Zealand’s most dynamic, in-demand guitarists at the same time as receiving accolades as a fine vocalist and entertainer in his own right.
His vast musical ability and knowledge has enabled him to move freely around the music scene, working with a variety of artists in many different genres.
It’s that ease and dexterity that sees Chet in constant demand on the touring circuit and in the studio. The professionalism, passion and energy he brings to his music make him the first point of call for a number of top entertainers in New Zealand and on the international stage.
Besides all his work with others, Chet O’Connell has released seven albums of his own and works as a solo artist or with his own band.
With over 40 year's experience in the Entertainment industry, it has been my passion and pure love of music that has driven me.
From Bars, Clubs & Festivals to Theatres and Showrooms around the world,
The Journey Continues!
There is 'No Plan B'
