update 15 dec 2021: tour canceled due Corona. Probably a new tour in October 2022 or January 2023<\/span><\/p>\n

After canceling twice due to Corona, we will try again in January 2022 with this great American blues act.<\/p>\n

The great Chicago bluesman Luther Allison lived by a simple philosophy that he was happy to share (\u201cLeave your ego, play the music, love the people). Now twenty-three years after his passing the great man would surely be thrilled to hear Bernard Allison\u2019s Songs From The Road, and proud to find his ferociously talented son is sworn to the same mission bringing, soul-soaked, all-guns-blazing blues to audiences who need it more than ever.<\/p>\n

Released in January 2020 as a CD\/DVD set on Ruf Records, Songs From The Road is a live snapshot so raw and real that hearing it feels like hanging off the security barrier of Dortmund\u2019s Musiktheater Piano club when Bernard and his crack-squad band hit town last October 23rd. With an A-list crew on-hand \u2013 and a dynamic mix from industry legend Jim Gaines \u2013 this immersive recording catches every last flash of virtuosity, bead of sweat and drop of atmosphere. \u201cI actually prefer live performances,\u201d says Bernard, \u201cbecause you can communicate and interact with the audience. I basically feed off of that energy, combined with my group\u2019s talent and personalities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span>Since he embarked on his acclaimed solo career with 1990\u2019s The Next Generation, Bernard\u2019s studio catalogue has been heavy with highlights, and that night in Germany, every fan in the house got something off their wish-list. This prolific songwriter reminded us that his recent output is his strongest to date, with cuts from last year\u2019s acclaimed Let It Go album including Night Train, Cruisin For A Bluesin, Same Ole Feeling, Backdoor Man and the wound-licking slow-blues of You\u2019re Gonna Need Me. \u201cWe showed more mature songwriting with that album,\u201d he nods.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span>But Bernard is happy to embrace his past glories, too, on a setlist that digs up his studio catalogue for diamonds. From 1998\u2019s Times Are Changing album, there\u2019s The Way Love Was Meant To Be and the funky strut of I Can\u2019t Get You Out Of My Head. From 2000\u2019s Across The Water, there\u2019s Meet Me Half Way and the powerhouse, fingertwist blues-rock of feels Kinda Funny.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
After stopping off for the grooving title track from 2002\u2019s Storms Of Life, Bernard pulls out Stay With Me Tonight from 2005\u2019s Higher Power, and mines 2015\u2019s In The Mix for fan-favourites Call Me Momma and Something\u2019s Wrong.\u00a0Oldest of all \u2013 and a treat for long-standing fans \u2013 is Let\u2019s Try It Again. Borrowed from his father\u2019s classic 1984 album, Life Is A Bitch, it\u2019s a moment that brings Allison Jr\u2019s story full circle, reminding us of his own formative years, when he jammed with Luther as a kid, broke out in the band of Koko Taylor and frequently cut heads onstage with close friend Stevie Ray Vaughan.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u200b<\/span>You might know the songs \u2013 but you don\u2019t know these interpretations. With Bernard leading the lineup on vocals and searing lead guitar, backed by Dylan Salfer (guitar), George Moye (bass), Mario Dawson (drums) and Jos\u00e9 James (sax\/percussion), this is a live band whose chemistry lets them stretch out and shake up these classic songs. \u201cFans that know our choice of songs will notice the change in arrangements that highlight my current band members,\u201d says Bernard. \u201cAs opposed to hearing the studio versions, which normally feature my vocals and guitar. We\u2019re the Bernard Allison Group and we show our unity night after night across the world. It\u2019s \u2018the Allison way\u2019\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span>On Songs From The Road, the result is a glorious exchange of energy between band and crowd \u2013 and evidence that Luther\u2019s old philosophy is burning brighter than ever. \u201cOur shows aren\u2019t like going to the movies and staring at the big screen,\u201d Bernard considers. \u201cWe\u2019re there for the people to enjoy each other\u2019s stories for the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
