Bio

A strong influence for Bernie's writing and performing comes from his commitment to humanitarian work in rural Africa for which he received the 2001 Lewis Perinbam Award for International Development.

"Another Path", Bernie's debut recording was produced by Bill Garrett and released in 2005. With thirteen eclectic songs inspired by stories of characters living in the realm of his imagination and his own personal journeys, a disaster in Temagami Ontario and hs travels in Africa, "Another Path" is evidence of Bernie's strength as a writer and musician.

Bernie's most recent recording "OIL BOOM!", is a ten song chronicle of stories inspired by 150 years of Canadian oil heritage. Commissioned by Lambton County and Fairbank Oil Property, "OIL BOOM!" embraces the proud history of Lambton County community with a dose of the oil boom frenzy with its triumphs and tragedies.

Originally from Ottawa, Bernie has performed in a number of groups throughout his performance history, ranging from Folk to Bluegrass to Celtic all of which influences his solo performances and songwriting.

Proud to be a favourite at the 33rd Home County Folk Festival in 2006, Bernie looks forward to concerts through the Fall and Winter and to touring across Ontario in the Summer of 2009.
