Logic can’t quite explain how or why paths cross; logic is for apparatuses and systems. Making music is about pathos and not for the faint of heart; stories will be told and tears will be shed.

Since their first studio album release Hill Shack Arson in 2017, a feel-good bluegrass jam, Whiskey Bear has written and recorded over 40 songs. In 2021, amidst the global pandemic, Whiskey Bear stretched their range and style with Terra Imperfectum: Worlds Away but Still in Tune, a 16-song tour de force Americana album. Today, Whiskey Bear strives to hit that next chord, a new verse, the thrill of the next song as they move along together on their journey. 

Emma bowing her fiddle to the swing of her highland roots, Tarini on percussion and the meanest rendition of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” that Whitney would surely cheer to, Carl on bass—on production, on everything in between, Nicole on rhythm guitar and her sangin’ ‘bout folks and love and heartbeats, and Michael, lyricist on a mission to save the world. This is Whiskey Bear.
