From My Backyard


Hayes Valley Falcon


Just Let Me Run

Tomorrow afternoon we'll be sending out a download link to our mailing list of an iPod ready version of Bear's recent solo show in Fall River, MA. If you are not on the list join ASAP!

Final song of the week....You've heard it as an upbeat folk/rock tune in Two Out Rally, with country tinge on the SOBOTS record, the "Synth version" on the 'Love is the Other Side of the Fence EP', you've heard the electrified version of the current Commas configuration; now "Needle in the Hay" gets the piano arrangement...

Hey Folks,

Last night i streamed my set at the ROOM in Fall River, MA. The video is from my cell phone and isnt the greatest but the sound is not too bad. Crazy technology these days. Look for a duet with Allysen Callery, my take on Lucinda Williams' "I just wanted to see you so Bad", the brand new original song "Hayes Valley Falcon" and my first "Loving Cup" on piano to close the show. A better audio recording has yet to be edited but should surface soon. Enjoy this for now if you missed the live stream!

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to give you the heads up that I will be playing a solo set around 9pm this Friday september 23rd at the ROOM at the Waterstreet Cafe in Fall River, the place next door to the Narrows. The show is 18+ and 6 bucks at the door. I play first for 45 min or so, then the lovely and talented Allysen Callery (who sang on "Plea Bargain" on the SOBOTS record) then Wood Spider and then the Wolf Hongos who are celebrating the release of their new EP close down the night.

Just a reminder that the kitchen is not open (I believe) so have a tasty meal beforehand but save room for the booze if you so desire. I have a couple new tunes Im going to try out and also play some i havent done in a while (any requests). Should be fun, hope to see y'all there.
