Guitarist Will Bernard currently lives in New York but was raised in Berkeley, CA. The guitarist is back in the Bay Area for the holidays and will perform a few shows at San Francisco’s Boom Room Room. On December 23, Bernard will play with a special West Coast version of his Jimi Hendrix tribute band Some Cat From Japan that features Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe bassist Ron Johnson, Garaj Mahal keyboardist Eric Levy and Bonerama drummer Eric Bolivar. Bernard will return to the venue on December 24 for a Christmas Eve performance with The W-BEEZ (Will Bernard, Wil Blades, Joe Cohen, Brandon Etzler).

Bernard will then close the year with a Some Cat from Japan performance at New York’s Sullivan Hall (12/29) and a set as part of the Colin Brown Band with Kenny Brooks (RatDog) on December 30.
