Facebook - 32k Followers / Spotify – 5k Followers / Instagram – 16k Followers / Twitter – 9.5k Followers - Many will know Bernie Marsden for being a founder member of Whitesnake, one of the biggest rock bands of all time, and writing the iconic global smash, “Here I Go Again”. Since leaving Whitesnake almost 40 years ago, Bernie has forged an impressive solo career. He is acclaimed as one of the premier British blues guitarists. He has written and recorded with some of the biggest names in the industry, composed music for film & TV, forged a successful career as an author, and amassed a priceless collection of guitars. Most recently, Bernie partnered with Joe Bonamassa to co-write his hit album, Royal Tea. Rewind to Summer 2018… Bernie was invited to join Billy Gibbons on stage, when he said “Bernie, wouldn’t it be great if we could all record the songs we grew up with as we learned to play the guitar?” Rather than suffer the usual fate of great ideas that are left to litter the dressing room floor, Bernie immediately set about making a list, and the “Inspirations” Series was born. “KINGS” is the first album of Bernie Marsden’s “Inspirations”. Featuring 10 songs that were originally recorded by Albert, B.B. & Freddie King, and recorded in a studio in Oxfordshire with a band that just locked into a groove, “KINGS” is chock full of blues and soul. Two Bernie Marsden penned instrumentals inspired by The Kings appear as the final two tracks on the album. Features and cover have been promised in Blues Matters magazine, with reviews and features expected at most of the premier UK Rock, Blues and Guitar publications around the release of “KINGS”. “Help Me Through The Day” will be the push track to radio. Familiar to Whitesnake fans in particular as it was also on the classic Love Hunter album. Support can be expected from Radio 2 presenters Johnny Walker and Ken Bruce & the usual suspects at Rock Radio. UK headline tour booking for October / November 2021, plus festival appearances. Book tour of UK in September to promote the paperback release of his acclaimed “Where’s My Guitar?”
