Bernie Pearl news

From Bernie Pearl:

Hello Blues Friends:

I'm delighted to announce that I have been booked at several festivals this season with, hopefully, more to come: On May 7 Mike and I will be playing at the Gator By the Bay Festival in San Diego; August 27-28 we'll be performing and teaching at the Mendocino Acoustic Blues Guitar Workshop; October 8 I have been invited to play at the Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival (formerly The King Biscuit Blues Festival); and at the Bukka White Blues Festival in Aberdeen, Mississippi on October 16. I'm hoping to fill in the week between dates with performances and touring the Delta region.

Lastly, I have printed out below a wonderful review we just received from the producer of the T-Bone Walker Festival we played last year in T-Bone's hometown of Linden, Texas.

Here are some local dates you might be interested in:
