“Bernie Marsden was our friend who we spent a tremendous amount of time with. He was always wanting to give what he had to those around him. I was always taken by the fact that Bernie had English blues written on his bones. It is a style of guitar and vocal that has its own touching ways. I’ve seen Bernie captivate audiences anywhere from playing and singing with an acoustic in a restaurant to a full concert hall performance. No matter where he was or what he was doing, he had a special connection with people and music. Bernie was always clear about how much he loved his family and friends. He is going to be very missed.” – Paul Reed Smith
