Since early in his life, Connor Bernhard has been enamored with music and its creation. Born in 1992, he was exposed to jazz by his father from day one, but officially started studying guitar at age 7, trumpet at age 10, and has pursued them both in the professional and academic fields. Besides his work as an instrumental quintet leader, Connor currently records, performs, and tours with New Nostalgia, Satchmo, Zoofunkyou, and many others. He released his debut album, “Altitude” in 2020 and plans to release his second album of original music with his quintet in mid 2025.
