At six o’clock, the festival moves into the blues with The Bernard Allison Group. Born in Chicago in 1965, Bernard Allison was first introduced to the blues by his fa- ther, the legendary guitarist Luther Allison. Bernard developed his chops with the Koko Taylor Blues Machine as well as the great Willie Dixon. Closing things out was the amaz- ing blues guitarist Davy Knowles who has toured with Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, The Who, Warren Haynes, George Thorogood, Joe Bonamassa, and Peter Frampton and is popular at festivals such as Lollapalozza, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits. He has been praised by guitar greats such as Joe Satriani who proclaimed Knowles his “favorite modern bluesman” and Peter Frampton who called him “the gunslinger guitarist of the 21st century.” Watch Davy Knowles perform a tribute to Woodstock NJ STAGE - ISSUE 63 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 111
