For his sixth annual journey through American roots music, Bedard will be joined by two former bandmates, pianist Mark “Mr. B” Braun and guitarist Steve Nardella. Bedard and Mr. B will start out with some small band swing, including tunes from Bedard’s acclaimed instrumental CD “Pickin’ Apart the Past”, before moving on to R & B with a tribute to the late Fats Domino. Bedard and Nardella will explore the world of guitar instrumentals, from Freddie King to Dick Dale, hitting the mid-'60s running with some unabashed surf guitar.
