Description

Will Bernard Trio Crazy Horse Presents Ages 21+ Will Bernard Trio Will Bernard Behold the awesome power of world class musicians unleashing their talents on a fluid fusion of jazz, funk, blues and soul. Although currently a New Yorker, guitarist Will Bernard's unique voice was formed for the most part from the rich cultural roots of the San Francisco Bay Area. Along the way he studied classical music, jazz, played in basements and coliseums, and absorbed the Bay Area Multi-Kultii, the New York downtown edge, and the loose funk of New Orleans. He has performed or recorded with Charlie Hunter, Stanton Moore, Robert Walter, John Medeski, Dr Lonnie Smith, Tom Waits, Dr. John and a lot of other known and unknowns. Will can be seen working in a chameleon-like way to fit into his current habitat. His 2007 CD "Party Hats" as well as his 1997 collaborative project T.J. Kirk's If Four Was One were both nominated for Grammys, and he is nominated yearly in Downbeat Magazine's Critics Poll for "Best Rising Star" Guitar Player. Will is a regular fixture at New Orleans Jazz fest, Jam Cruise and other similar events, and has toured extensively in the US and Europe. Currently, Will performs with John Medeski's Mad Skillet, Peter Apfelbaum's Sparkler, Frequinox with Stanton Moore and Robert Walter, Revelator featuring Bill Laswell and more. The Will Bernard Trio features Eric Kalb on drums and Eric Finland on organ. Kalb is known for his work with Deep Banana Blackout, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, John Scofield, and has toured with everybody from the Greyboy Allstars to the Pimps of Joytime. Finland is quickly making a name for himself touring with Eric Krasno, Joe Louis Walker, Oteil Burbidge and others. This show was originally scheduled back in the dark days of May of 2020 and we couldn’t be more ecstatic that it’s finally coming to fruition. Don’t miss the rare opportunity to see world class musicians of this caliber unleashing their talents on a fluid fusion of jazz, funk, blues and soul. Will Bernard Trio Will Bernard
