   About The Bears of Blue River




Photobucket




The Bears of Blue River are friends with day jobs who began gathering in the evenings to make silly noises in a dilapidated old apartment with wooden floors. Soon they found themselves playing folk diddies dressed up with some Bop about them. Their roots define them as Hoosiers but currently they are split between Chicago, Indianapolis, and Muncie.
They are simple folks but with one request....

SHARE THE BEAR!


The recordings from the soon to be released Ep "The Killer Bee Scare" were recorded with Tyler Watkins (engineer/bassist of Margot and the Nuclear So and So's) and Richard Edwards. (producer/singer-songwriter of Margot and the Nuclear So and So's) The Ep should be ready by mid-December for your listening treats!
