More than four years in the making, “Pickin’ Apart the Past” offers guitar renditions of classic jazz, swing, and blues material from a variety of composers.
Besides Bedard, the CD features musicians such as Steve Nardella, Al Hill, Mark O’Boyle, Carl Hildebrandt, Kingpins bassist Randy Tessier, Kingpins drummer Rich Dishman, Brian Delaney, Pat Prouty and Andy Conlin. The CD, recorded at Ann Arbor’s Big Sky studio, is being released on Bedard’s own Bossitistic Music Label.
George Bedard has been a seminal figure on the Michigan roots rock scene for more than 20 years. A member of the Silvertones in the 1970s and Tracy Lee & the Leonards in the 1980s, Bedard has been increasingly attracting the attention that his energetic guitar playing and gutsy vocals deserve as leader of his own band, the Kingpins. Goldmine recently called Bedard "one of the best rockabilly pickers on the planet," while Record Roundup wrote "Bedard may not become the next trendy thing, but as far as this kind of music, he's already the next cool thing."
