Bob "Boo" Bernstein on SoundBetter

I have added my pedal steel to recordings that have won or been nominated for an Academy Award ("Brokeback Mountain"), Grammys, Latin Grammys, a Golden Globe, Emmys, and Billboard Music Awards. I can help take your recordings to another level.

I have contributed steel to recordings and live performances by such acclaimed artists as Freddy Fender, Tanya Tucker, Jerry Lee Lewis, Emmylou Harris, Mark Chesnutt, La Santa Cecilia, Dwight Yoakam, Lucero, Michelle Shocked, Curt Kirkwood from the Meat Puppets, Erasure, Eliza Gilkyson, Gatemouth Brown, Hank Thompson, Tiger Army, and Monte Warden. My steel has been featured in films and TV shows, notably, "Brokeback Mountain," "Man of Steel," and "Narcos," and, on Dobro, the theme to "Hell on Wheels."

I have also broken new ground in the Latin music world as the touring and session pedal steel guitarist for the late superstar Joan Sebastian as well as other Latin artists including Jenni Rivera, Vicente Fernandez, Juanes, La Santa Cecilia and Lucero.

    It has been incredible working with Bob, I am more than happy that he collaborated with my project, he gave a great sound to my song with his pedal steel guitar. Thanks, Bob.

    I used Bob in the past to lay down pedal and/or slide tracks. He is a consummate musician-plays great stuff if you let him take it upon himself to create a pedal steel track and also great listener to specifics you might want and there's a great dialogue when he makes suggestions, asks you what you are looking for, the production, etc,etc Highly Recommend-he also is a great guitar player!

    Bob "Boo" Bernstein is an absolute top tier musician. His skill of his instrument and musical acumen are second to none. Boo's contributions to our record and live shows have been indispensable and his presence in the studio and on the stage is both calming and professional. I can't recommend him enough!

    Bob is one of the finest steel guitar players you will find anywhere.
    His tone is awesome and he comes up with parts that are exactly what you want to hear.
    I've worked with Bob in the past and would highly recommend him for anything!
