Although currently a New Yorker, Grammy nominated 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, Ben Sidran, Peter Apfelbaum, Jai Uttal, Tom Waits, Dr. John , MTO, Butler/Bernstein and the Hot 9 and a lot of other known and unknowns. Bernard's tenth record “Ancient Grains” was released on Posi-Tone in 2021. Since then he has released two records on his on label Dreck to Disk “Pond Life” in 2022 and “Sky” with Beth Custer in 2023
