Bertrand Laurence is an extraordinary blues artist. Obsessed with the blues since I met him in 1983. There is so much I could say abut this very talented Frenchmen, but I think I”ll let the press speak for itself!

“Boston French Blues guitar wizard…imaginative melodic and
rhythmic sense…’
-Elijah Wald, The Boston Globe

​”The man sure has his way with the Boogie!”
-Ruth Brown, NPR’s “Blues Stage” Radio show.

​”La Vie En Bleu” …an unexpected gem…unquestionable tone and
phrasing whether using six-or twelve-string acoustic (or) Dobro
slide…”
-Michael Caito, The Providence Phoenix
