A long time Bay Area musician, guitarist/ composer Will Bernard first came to prominence through his membership in Peter Apfelbaum's Hieroglyphics Ensemble, with a host of boundary stretching groups, ranging from jazz, hip hop and world music to experimental, with many stops in between. He has performed and recorded with Jai Uttal and the Pagan Love Orchestra, Peter Apfelbaum's various band incarnations, Beth Custer, The Coup and Midnight Voices to name a few. The most successful of these was the group T.J. Kirk (with Charlie Hunter) whose second record for Warner Bros. 'If Four Was One' was nominated for a Grammy in 1997. Will released his debut CD as a leader, 'Medicine Hat', in 1998 on Verve/ Antilles.
