Don't miss this opportunity to catch a
true living legend in Chi-town this Friday, November 15th!

Few can truthfully lay claim to the term "legend." Master keyboardist Bernie Worrell can.

From the tender age of three, when Bernie began tickling the ivories, to his first concert performance at four, to his first concerto composition at age eight, Bernie was duly certified a musical prodigy. His studies at the New England Conservatory of Music and Julliard School of Music endowed Bernie with an undeniably strong classical foundation, the substructure for the supernatural experimentation that was to come...

Bernie was one of the founding members of the supergroup Parliament-Funkadelic. He co-wrote, co-produced, recorded and performed most of the group's compositions (including the classics "Flashlight", "Atomic Dog", "Knee Deep", "Cosmic Slop" and "Red Hot Mama," to name a few) on its fifty-plus albums and globe-spanning tours. Top rap and hip-hop artists including Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Salt 'n' Pepa, Snoop Dog, En Vogue, Digital Underground, Heavy D and De La Soul are just a few who have built hit songs around Bernie's one-of-a-kind riffs, making him one of the most sampled musicians around.

While many performers would be content to rest on the laurels of an incredible body of work, Bernie continues to flex his considerable creative and musical muscle. He collaborated on critically and commercially acclaimed music projects with artists and groups such as The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards, The Pretenders, Soul Asylum and Jody Watley. He provided an influential contribution on the seminal video and album "Stop Making Sense" by Talking Heads. In 1993, when David Letterman made his big move to CBS, Bernie helped launch the CBS Orchestra with Paul Shaffer.

Keith Richards notes, "the rare qualities of intuition and taste, not to mention humor, all come together in Bernie Worrell," and David Byrne cites Bernie as "a genius." A testament to the popularity and longevity of Bernie's creativity, he was inducted (as one of the founding members and Musical Director of Parliament-Funkadelic) into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

Bernie continues to be in demand as a featured performer with Bootsy's New Rubber Band featuring Bernie Worrell, Jack Bruce and many others. And Bernie's solo efforts have produced critically acclaimed albums: Funk Of Ages, Blacktronic Science and Free Agent: A Spaced Odyssey.

Now Bernie is shooting out in a new direction with his own supergroup, Bernie Worrell & The WOO Warriors, which has been getting rave reviews on the road, both stateside and abroad. A live album, titled simply Bernie Worrell & The WOO Warriors Live, was released in 1998 and a second live recording, True DAT (recorded in 2002 at The Conduit in Trenton, NJ, the North Star Bar in Philadelphia and various New York venues), was released this year. With an incredibly productive career encompassing five decades, Bernie Worrell continues expanding his musical repertoire.
