bernadette
bernadette *bernadette* is taking the stage by storm with her vibrant musical presence, unique vocal sound and a flower in her hair. She is described as 'soulful angst- Bonnie Raitt meets Courtney Love'. *bernadette* writes heartfelt, sultry songs that encapsulate the essence of San Francisco's timeless sound with a 60's sensibility and authentic purity. She has played the grand rooms at The Fillmore, Independent, Slim's, Bottom of the Hill, Café Du Nord and festivals around the Bay. Backed by co-conspirateur, Garrin Benfield on guitar, the two harmonize and play together akin to Gillian Welch & David Rawlings but with a brutally honest, soul-bearing live performance. With the tightest, in-the-pocket rhythm section, D. Shani Johnson on drums and Pete Canton on Bass, Shoshana Dimona grooves on keys, Alan Williams textures with trombone, and the angelic sounds of Mayumi Urgino on Violin, Sonia Deninzon on cello, create a beautiful and haunting soundscape that brings these seasoned players together in depth, form and musical brilliance. *bernadette* has been joined on stage with touring greats, Brett Dennen, RadioActive of Spearhead and many more and is the visionary and founding member of WomenROCK.
