Blues guitarist Bernie Pearl will be appearing in acoustic concert Thursday, October 16 at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, Altadena. He will be accompanied by bassist Michael Barry.
When Bernie Pearl released Live From Boulevard Music and Somebody Got To Do It!, (both from his concerts at the venue), in 2002 and 2006 they were long awaited solo CDs from a musical history that began in 1958 at his brother Ed Pearl’s legendary Ash Grove club. It was there Bernie learned about the blues directly from the masters themselves. To mark his 50 year history with the music Bernie went in the studio to record Old School Blues, a double CD of acoustic and electric blues that is his personal testament to the genre.
This year, a feature story on the front page of the L.A. Times, with an accompanying video piece, an outstanding performance in a sold-out Royce >Hall, numerous club, festival and special event appearances, widespread airplay and rave reviews for the newest CD have made this a landmark year for Bernie. His recent CDs and live performances elicited these praises from the critics.
Bernie Pearl with Mike Barry, Thursday, October 16, 8:00 at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 Lake, Altadena 91001. Tickets $15, limited seating.
Information (626) 398-7917
