Musical Bears Dare To Crush!
The first annual Beartaria Times National Festival was a musical success.
Remarkable, considering the Bears were entering uncharted territory. Bear Musicians came from all over the United States, each having studied the music remotely, putting on great shows, despite minimal rehearsals in person. Anchor Bear and many others blew away bears of all ages as the performers gave their all.
This year, the lineup is three times larger!
Bear Headliner
Once again, Anchor Bear is the Headliner, bringing his bear-famous brand of soul and energy! Owen Benjamin enthusiastically chose to have Anchor take the stage after his Saturday night comedy special filming. Thanks to the fresh setlist, Bears will hear their favorite Anchor Bear songs, even if they might have to stay up a little later than usual!
Bear Legends
The rest of the musical lineup is spectacular. The Vox Day/Dark stream contingent is represented beautifully by our very own Cactus Eater Bear doing Booster Patrol songs in the unique Vox-inspired Punk-Metal/Shred/Boomer Rock style. Many other long-time Bears are featured doing bear-themed originals and some great covers. The schedule features Flo Cal Bear, Grungy Blues Bear, Copper Bear, Cano Bear, and yes, even Jackobat doing acoustic versions of his unique originals, to be joined later in his set by Guest Bear artists!
Bear Variety
The hits keep coming. Colorado’s Music Bear does a run of his Nature Soul/Alternative. Husband-wife Accordion/Guitar duo “A Couple of Yahoos” showcase their front porch Folk. Missouri Band “Simply Prodigal” brings their original Praise Rock, while Crrow777Radio Co-host/ Producer Jason Lindgren returns with this original Pink Floyd-inspired Rock set.
Bear Wedding
History is being made this year; Wobbly Bear and Hometown Bear’s wedding is happening at the festival! The WobblyTown Wedding Band will play special music for the newlyweds on the main stage as the couple has their first dance and the Bears celebrate the happy couple.
Bear Band
Backing many of these Allstar Bears is a world-class group, with Bandleader Telecaster Bear and Drummer Peacemaker Bear returning from last year. Featuring Atlanta Guitarist Anthony Cappolino, Bassist Sea Level Bear, Music Bear on various instruments, Drummer Hoodilidaddle Bear, plus Surprise Guests.
Bears making music memories is a beautiful thing! Onward.
