The Bernstein Bard Quartet is Steve Bernstein on mandolin, Mark Bernstein on guitar, Robert Bard on bass, & Brian Melick on precussion. Eclectic in their repertoire, imaginative in their arrangements, and captivating in their sound, they are one of the top acoustic groups in the Hudson Valley. The trio swings, rocks and bops with a diversity of music ranging from Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Django Reinhart and George Gershwin, to Latin and Tango by Jobim, Bonfa and Bizet.. Their contemporary flavor shines through in rousing renditions of songs by John Lennon, Sting, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, David Grisman and many others.
