In the "Paisley News" section, it says, "Bernard Allison. . . what?!" I'm assuming this is a positive reaction and they want us to check him out? I went to Guitar.com and learned that Bernard is a blues guitarist that has moved to Minneapolis--the sound clips sound awesome!

Anybody have a clue?

Here's Bernard's official website: http://www.bernardallison.com/

Bernard's a top-notch guitarist and a fantastic vocalist! He's known primarily in blues circles, but he plays some great funk. Dude lit up the joint with a smokin' version of "Purple Rain". Check your listings if he's playing in your town. Bring your dancin' shoes, cuz you ain't gonna sit down, you'll wanna get down!

Fellas: Bring a date, if you must, chicks love Bernard and plenty show up UNATTACHED for his gigs.

According to the official web site, his current tour sees him return to the US in June, with no dates yet scheduled for that time when the Celebration is expected to run.

i've been following bernad for awhile now, he is the son of luther allison. i saw bernard open for jonny lang, he blew him off the stage. he is a very good guitarist, and a unreal blues singer, ive seen him about five times live, everytime that man gets better. hopefully he will be at the celebration.
