Biography
Singing Bear is a poet, songwriter, actor, singer, dreamer, and mystical musical alchemist. He writes intimate and powerful songs that really leave you imprinted with a deep message. With obvious talent, his smooth guitar grooves and soulful voice dance the lyrics into life. Some songs are stories of his life, some are humorous analogies, and some are galactic journeys into a timeless sense of oneness. During his live performance, Singing Bear is known for extensive vocal improvisations, often adding extra spontaneous verses to his songs.
His jamming was labeled " . . . about as funky as you can get with an acoustic guitar" by Eric Leighton of Athens News, and his songs were described as ". . . uninhibited, spontaneous, free-flowing acoustic stuff of a lyrically righteous sort," by Troy Gregorino of the Insider Magazine.
Since his move to San Francisco in 2005, Anthony Singing Bear has become known in many circles as an amazing songwriter, capturing magical moments with words and music. He has written over 100 songs in the past 4 years and has pulled together an amazingly skilled band, performing at events from huge festivals like Harmony Festival (Which also featured Cake, India.Arie, and Michael Franti) and smaller festivals such as Mystic Garden Party and Raw Spirit Festival. In his latest tour this past summer he was blessed with an opportunity to perform at a Jason Mraz concert in Austin, Texas. His songs have been labeled "Roadmaps to the next generation." If he is performing as a solo act or with a nine piece band, this astounding poet and musical alchemist is certain to take you on a journey of the mind and the body.
