3/26: The Will Bernard Band @ Highline Ballroom

I was under the impression that I was seeing Stanton Moore’s band at Terminal 5. Stanton Moore is the drummer for Galactic, and in his spare time plays with all kinds of people. I found out just before the show that I was actually seeing the Will Bernard Band, of which Stanton Moore is a part, along with John Medeski and Andy Hess. And the show was at the Highline Ballroom as opposed to Terminal 5. A friend of mine suggested the show as well as picked up the tickets, and I didn’t think to verify the situation. But I was suddenly seeing a better show, which was a nice surprise.

Each member in the band is generally renowned as a player of his particular instrument, which makes for an educational experience. I always come away from shows that like that hoping that I have absorbed a little bit of the knowledge that was dropped on me. For that reason I will see these gentlemen again.
