Late Show Band gets opening refresh

[David Bruggeman]

I only noticed it tonight, but as of the March 27th show (last Monday), the new keyboardist (sad to say I still can't find a name for this guy) who's been sort-of hiding behind Late Show Band trumpeter Jon Lampley since late last year is now part of the opening credits.  The sequence where the Louis leads the band onto the stage from the wings has been re-shot and now includes the keyboardist.

I'll keep an eye out for the next time the show runs full credits at the end to see if I can get a name, as I figure if he's in the opening, he'll be credited as part of the band.

This recent piece on Louis Cato in Premiere Guitar covers some day-to-day show stuff in addition to other aspects of Cato's music career.  While there is a lot of guitar talk in there, it's pretty accessible.

Someone is asking the LateShow subreddit about it, but whether a response will ensue remains to be seen.     B

A response did appear (pretty quickly, to my surprise), identifying the new-ish keyboard player as Corey Bernhard.

Instagram page - https://www.instagram.com/misterweebles/ does feature a fellow with a strong resemblance, but a very different wardrobe compared to what we see on the show.

I did hear one of the band, probably Louis Cato, call out a Corey on an episode from January (I am *way* behind) where friend of the band Cory Wong was *not* there, so I'm pretty comfortable with this.  Mr. Bernhard hasn't been added to the Band's wiki.

Best,

You ain't been checking that wiki too often, as "Zigwithbag" did add him. 😁 He is, tho, still inactive WRT social platforms...     B

It's what I deserve for just looking at the summary panel and not reading the whole entry.
