BERNARD ALLISON

Bernard Allison was born in Chicago, Illinois. His father, Luther Allison, was a Chicago blues musician.  He accompanied his father to blues festivals in the early 1970s where he met legends like Muddy Waters, Hound Dog Taylor and Albert King, amongst others.

His father bought him a Stratocaster guitar but required him to remain in school, but he did allow his son to join him on stage at the age of 18 at the 1983 Chicago Blues Festival. A week after his graduation from high school, he was invited to join Koko Taylor‘s touring band. During that time, he furthered his skills under the tutelage of Johnny Winter, whom he had met when younger, and Stevie Ray Vaughan whom he met in the first year of his career.

Since 1985, he has been a force in his own right. Between collaborations with his father, releasing his own critically acclaimed albums in both the US and Europe, and successfully touring throughout the world, Bernard Allison is keeping the tradition alive!
