Album Description

Beard is the son of famous blues guitarist Joe Beard, who counted among his friends such blues titans as Buddy Guy, Matt “Guitar” Murphy and Luther Allison. He was 5 years old when he first picked up the guitar and learned how to play “Green Onions,”; his mom was thrilled, but his father just rolled his eyes “like he expected me to play at 3!” Beard never downplays the importance of his father’s influence. “The most important thing dad taught me was do so much with as few notes as possible. We do have our differences when it comes to traditional and modern blues. He always likes the traditional shuffes I play. If it was up to my father, he’d have me doing more old style blues. That’s fine, but that’s not my style.”
