Wait On Time" is our latest CD release, featuring 12 great sounding tracks with a mixture of  "blues"  and good 'ole "rock n' roll" . 5 of the cuts on the CD were recorded live at a local club and engineered by Joe Idzal from All Things Audio. 7 cuts were recorded and  engineered by Bill Smith at Club 39 Studios in Sudbury. Three outstanding guitar players are featured:  Paul Ferguson plays biting and exciting  leads through the live recordings of a March 2008 performance at the Chicken Bone Saloon in Framingham, Mass. Brian Duffey, who originally teamed up with Gary in their first band in the  early 70’s,  plays some of the finest rhythms and lead combinations you will hear. And Jim Atkinson, from a session when the band was working as the “West End Blues Band”,  plays two classics that you won’t soon forget. This CD is HOT! 

Gary released his first CD in 1998 titled "Inside The Blues", containing 17 tracks, including six original compositions.  The CD was recorded “Studio Live” on a 4 track tape recorder, with no overdubs or multi-tracking.  The band lineup featured Pete Henderson on guitar, and included current band mate Ray Fisk on bass. Blues Review magazine reviewed the CD in their July/August issue. Inside The Blues is available.  Contact Gary for ordering  at gbernath@aol.com Best Unsigned Act: The Gary Bernath Band burned through Inside the Blues (GBB001) live in the studio, and the results are electrifying. Bernath doubles on harp and saxophone and sings creditably; guitarist Peter Henderson gets the nod for "tone of the month" - nice clean lines, too, in styles from Magic Sam to Albert King.  The band nails half a dozen originals and gives dead on readings of twice that many standards from all points blue (swamp to Houston to Chicago). An hour-plus well spent. - Blues Review Magazine

 

Gary’s second CD release came as a member of The West End Blues Band.  Released in 2003, “Just Because I’m Out of Money” was the result of a writing and recording collaboration between Gary and guitarist Jim Atkinson.  Jim was the original founder of the West End Blues Band in the early 1980’s.  Restructured in 2001 to include current Gary Bernath Band members Ray Fisk on bass, Jimmy Lavezzo on drums, and Dave Stringham on saxophone, the band performed in area clubs while writing and recording original tracks for the CD. “Just Because I’m Out of Money” released in 2003 and contains 18 great sounding tracks! All of the cuts on the CD were written and performed by the band members, and recorded with a lot of help from Bill Smith at Club 39 Studio in Sudbury – Thanks Bill!  Although the West End Blues Band is no longer active, The CD is available by visiting the band’s web site:    westendblues.home.comcast.net
