Bernie Williams: Recently nominated for a Latin Grammy Award, critically acclaimed guitarist/songwriter and famed NY Yankees star, Bernie Williams, is perhaps more recognized by baseball fans for playing all 16 years of his career for the New York Yankees, winning 4 World Series...and holding an overall .308 batting average in addition to many other accolades. However, Bernie Williams is now wowing fans and fellow artists in musical venues. Bernie's first album garnered critical acclaim and was featured on the Billboard Top 100. A classically trained guitarist, playing and composing music is Bernie's first true passion with influences that include jazz, classical, pop, Brazilian, and Latin sounds. In addition to playing lead and rhythm guitar, Williams compositions mix Bernie's love of jazz with the sophisticated Latin rhythms of his Puerto Rican heritage.
