George Bedard is Ann Arbor's resident guitar genius, a man with the last half century of American musical history at his fingertips. George's August concerts at The Ark over the last several years have been chapters in a magisterial tour of the history of American roots music, and we can't wait to see what he comes up with this time. George Bedard & is a guitarist in the most transcendent sense of those words -- sort of like Lance Armstrong is a bicyclist, say. There may not be an Ann Arborite who hasn't danced deliriously to the music of George Bedard & The Kingpins at one time or another, but if you're coming from someplace else, we're going to give you a little glimpse of a reall extraordinary local musician. "People in Ann Arbor think everyone has a George Bedard," says Ann Arbor Observer music writer John Hinchey. "But they don't."
