Will Bernard with John Medeski, Andy Hess, Stanton Moore Tour

Will Bernard
Currently touring in support of his latest Palmetto release, Blue Plate Special, two-time Grammy nominated guitarist and composer, Will Bernard is joined by John Medeski (Medeski, Martin & Wood) on keyboards, Andy Hess (Gov’t Mule, John Scofield) on bass and Stanton Moore (Galactic) on drums.

Will Bernard follows up his Grammy-nominated album Party Hats with the Palmetto Records release Blue Plate Special. The collective experience of the band makes them a veteran bunch. Their individual styles combine for a potent mix of vintage sounds and modern grooves.

Will has been involved with a host of boundary stretching groups, ranging from jazz and funk to world music and experimental music, with many stops in between. He has performed and recorded with The Stanton Moore Trio, Robert Walter’s 20th Congress, Jai Uttal, Peter Apfelbaum’s Hieroglyphic Ensemble and Groundation featuring Leroy Horsemouth Wallace. He was also a member of the group T.J. Kirk, with Charlie Hunter, and was featured on the 1997 Grammy nominated Warner Bros. release, If Four Was One.
