Artist Information
Biography
Jimmy Bear Pearson is a recording artist who has been performing and interacting with music for most of his life. He plays guitar, bass, keyboards, and has played several woodwind, brass, and stringed instruments throughout school and has had musical training. His music is influenced by a huge variety of contemporary and classical artists.
The music he makes is conceived, performed, and engineered by himself (one track at a time) in his living area using a variety of guitars and instruments - all of which is mixed down to tunes by hand with great care. The music is clean and clear, and is created to have a live (human) quality, but with just a touch of color as though lots of different people are playing the parts. Listen carefully to the music - it will take you on a journey you will sincerely enjoy!
