Road Trip

tonight to see Bernard Allison.

Singer, songwriter, and son of Luther Allison, Bernard will be playing at the Double Door Inn in Charlotte.

Bernards' first recording, at age 12 1/2 was playing guitar with his father on a live album called "Gonna Be a Live One in Here Tonight" in 1979.

Four days out of high school he joined Koko Taylors' band the Blues Machine. He has also played with Johnny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughn, where he picked up his slide technique.

His latest album, Higher Power is a great mix of Blues, Soul, and Funk.

Should be a great show.

All I can say is I'm getting ready and looking forward to it.
