Bernie Worrell

From his work as a founding member and Original Musical Director of Parliament-Funkadelic to his contributions to the Talking Heads, Worrell has been twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Indeed, songs such as “Burning Down the House” and “Flashlight” wouldn’t have been the same without him, and Worrell’s keyboard prowess has only grown since those classic recordings. MORE

Once you are struck, you will never forget the wild but precise, eccentric but intelligent, elaborate but straightforward sounds of guitar created by Blackbyrd. He is currently the musical director and guitarist of George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic. MORE
