#BernardAllison (born November 26, 1965) is an American #blues guitarist, based out of Paris, France. Allison was born in Chicago, Illinois, United States. His father, Luther Allison, was a Chicago blues musician. Allison moved back and forth between Illinois and Florida, but remained close to his father's music whether with him or not, listening to his father's albums when they were apart. He accompanied his father to blues festivals in the early 1970s. There he was introduced to Muddy Waters, Hound Dog Taylor and Albert King, amongst others.
Allison taught himself to play in Florida while his father was touring internationally and displayed his early skills to his father when he was 12. His father brought him a Stratocaster guitar but required him to remain in school, although 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.
From 1985, he also tried out his headline act, Bernard Allison and Back Talk, largely active in Canada, although he remained with Koko Taylor. He became the bandleader for his father's touring band in Europe late in 1989, and with his father's assistance and the loan of his father's musicians recorded his debut album, The Next Generation, in Paris around Christmas that year. Over the next years, Allison and his father continued to collaborate, with Bernard co-writing and arranging material on his father's final three albums and Luther offering ongoing advice to his son's band.
Allison released three more albums in Europe, Hang On, No Mercy, and Funkifino. In 1997 - the year of his father's death - his critically acclaimed U.S. debut, Keepin' the Blues Alive. was released. The album was followed by a U.S. tour and further releases. Allison's 2002 album Storms of Life charted at #5 on the Top Blues Albums chart. In spite of the success of his tours and albums in the U.S., Allison remains based in Paris.
In 2010, Toby Lee Marshall teamed up with Bernard Allison. Toby Lee Marshall was part of Allison's dynamic rhythm section, that toured Europe extensively. Toby Lee Marshall was featured on Allison's 2011 release, "Live at the Jazzhaus".
On 16 January 2015, Bernard Allison released his thirteenth album, In The Mix.

Can't believe I never heard of this guy. I think the problem is that you never hear great music on the radio any more.
Well.... he's got himself a new fan!
+Ray Simmons Me too
+Ray Simmons Check out Bluemondaymonthly.com to stay abreast of what's shakin' in the blues world. We'll see ya out there on that Blues Highway...
+Dave Lambert Thanks Dave.....I'll check that out.
Years ago, I had a subscription to a magazine called Blues Review. Don't know if it's still around.
Hey... I have a story that you may find pretty cool.
Back in the early 90's I used to hang out at a place called Johnny D's.
Every Sunday afternoon they had a blues jam where people would come in and play with the house band.
Well.... this girl gets up on stage and blew everyone away.
Later, she was sitting at the bar eating a salad, and walked up and asked her for her autograph. She said why do you want my autograph? I'm not famous.
I told her that she wasn't famous yet, but one day she will be. She gave me her autograph on a napkin that says " Keep the blues alive, Susan Tedeschi"
+Ray Simmons Great story Ray. You never know who will become what later in life. It's good to respect all....Ray, where are you from and where is Johnny D's? Say hello to John "Blueshammer" Hammer for me if you get to Blue Monday on Facebook. Talk soon...
I'm originally from Cambridge, Mass.
Johnny D's was in Somerville which was the next town over. I think they're gone now. Too bad. But I think there's still a House of Blues in Cambridge. I know Ronnie Earl used to play there a lot. I think he was from the area.
Luther was a great bluesman. The first time I heard Luther in 1994. Bernard deserves glory of his father.
Big wonderful!! Great blues song. You made me proud and strong thank you.
Love this! Would love to see this dude live!! Please come to Wisconsin!!
