| The Duo Sonics bring a unique blend of blues and roots music to the stage. Featuring Bob Parker playing reso-phonic guitar, baritone guitar, six-string bass and mandolin, with David Berntson on Hohner diatonic and chromatic harmonicas and concertina, the Duo Sonics interpret classic blues in an exciting, high-energy show. Whether playing a slow blues, dripping with amplified harp and slide guitar, or a full-blown boogie-woogie or jump blues number, this duo can really sing and swing. Bob Parker has played blues professionally for over 35 years, most recently with the Oscillators and with Junior Markham. A native of Tulsa, his heartfelt and steady guitar technique reflects Oklahoma and Texas blues traditions and creates an incredibly full sound. Both harmonizing and singing lead vocals, Bob’s voice resonates with emotion when he sings about the true facts of life. David Berntson has also played blues for over 35 years, both in his home state of Illinois, and in Oklahoma. He is a master of Chicago blues, Mississippi Delta style blues and jump blues. His ability to connect with an audience, coupled with his passion for the Blues, makes for a dynamic and entertaining musical performance. In addition to playing with many Tulsa area bands, David is an endorsee for Hohner harmonicas and has taught harmonica classes for over 15 years. He is the founder of the Tulsa Blues Club and was awarded the “Keeping the Blues Alive in Education” award from the National Blues Foundation in 2006. The Duo-Sonics are listed on the Performing Artist Roster of the Oklahoma Arts Council. Grant money through the Oklahoma Arts Council is available for Duo-Sonics performances and in-school presentations.
