“An indie modern folk CD with melancholy stories about life and love mixed with personal anthems of finding ones own happiness.”
What is Bears On The Run?
Over the last few years, outlets like Bear Radio Network, Bearapalooza and WoobieBearMusic, along with a host of supportive bear runs, bars and - most recently - podcasts, have given Bear musicians, songwriters and performers a place to share their talents. This fall, six performers will head out in a van for the first ever Bear tour which will span 12 cities and 7 states including Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma.
The tour is called BEARS ON THE RUN and showcases the talents of Bobaloo (a comedian from L.A.), Kendall (a songwriter/performance artist from Buffalo N.Y.), Matthew Temple (a folk singer/songwriter from Nashville, T.N.), Nakia (a Blues singer/songwriter from Austin, T.X.), Elijah Black (a rock singer/songwriter from Akron, OH) and Shannon Grady (a singer/songwriter from Minneapolis, M.N.). Along for the ride will be two videographers who will capture performances as well as life backstage and on the road to be edited into a documentary.
The tour’s founder Shannon Grady (a singer and co-host of the popular podcast
bTALK) hopes that the tour will grow and open up doors for other Bear artists
and find new audiences for their work.

Wed, Jan 17th I headed down to Nashville to meet up with Matthew Temple to play a few show, write a few songs, and jam with the locals.
Day 1, Matthew helped me finish a song that I have been working on and then later that night we ended up at Lyrix where we listen to several writers circles and then got up and played the open mic night.
Day 2, Matthew and I worked on 2 other songs that I have been working on and then later that night we ended up at the French Quarter Cafe for more writers nights and open mic that we played at.
Day 3, We met Michael West for coffee and had a wonderful afternoon chatting with him. Then Matthew and I checked out the local music stores and found some killer deals on cases and guitars. It’s a good thing I don’t live in Nashville, because I would send all my money on cool guitars. Later that night Michael, Freddy and Jay Freeman, and some other friends came over to the house and we jammed for 6 hours. It was awesome.
Day 4, Matthew and I went to the mall where they make Gibson guitars. After that we picked up Dean and we saw Happy Feet at the iMax. It had been a long 3 days and I went to bed early because I had an afternoon flight to catch and then get to work before 5pm on Sunday.
Day 5, Got up, packed my bags, had a wonderful breakfast, and then headed to the airport. Slept all the way home so I wouldn’t be tired for work that night.
After being there I finished all the songs for the CD and now I just have to sit down and start recording the new CD. I also have to pick a name and ask if John will make another cover for me.
Ill be playing at Barfly on Sat Jan 6th.
