J.D. Bernal - a.k.a. Just Dave

About Me

I was born David Adam Bernal. As a teen in Grass Valley, CA (where I grew up), I decided to call myself "Just Dave." It caught on, and I have been called Just Dave onstage since. My friends call me "J.D." and I like that too. In fact, I think I'll stick with that.

I have 1 dog, 2 bands, and 3 lives. Shows marked as a "j.d. bernal" are my country/rock band, shows marked "JDB" are the alternative blues and jamband... and, yet another project I'm nurturing is in the works... and coming soon.

Recently, I got to play on American Idol with an incredible dude, Michael Sarver, led by the amazing Rickey Minor and his band. These guys are the best players on the planet, hands down, and I was just happy to be there! Check it out by clicking on this LINK, sorry, I can't legally post it anymore! .
