Old Bear Records Recording Artist Weston SkaggsWith lyrics like "Woe to you rich man.." and "be sure your sin will find you out," Weston Skaggs wastes no time in diving deep into themes that are taken directly from the Bible on his new single, "Rich Man" set to release through Old Bear Records on July 16th.  Much like Keith Green, or Larry Norman before him, Weston Skaggs's style of a mix of baritone and falsetto voice undergirded and wrapped with music and arrangements that could have been written and arranged by Brian Wilson or the Flaming Lips attracts a listening ear to the interesting instrumentation at play that softens the very direct and powerful truths conveyed in his lyrics. By the time you realize you are being challenged with a song that could double as a sermon, its too late.  You're already invested by the sweeping sounds, and pleasant melodies coming through your speakers or air pods.  In a way, "Rich Man" is an audio trojan horse of sorts and we're here for it. This is a song that is clear in its presentation of the Gospel and its primary transgressor in need of grace (you'll find as you reach the end of the song) is the performer himself.Weston Skaggs joins me today for a conversation about his latest single, RICH MAN.Get the Single Here: https://sc.lnk.to/WSrm-s?fbclid=IwAR3FN5y8pJ4PK_wheqqKhq_hUl6MtMaQczDVfW6zBlFeAlg8tvcmDja05Mc ----more----Shine A Light In The Darkness - The NEW Single From Rick Lee James - Releases Friday July 23rdGet The Single: https://rickleejames.hearnow.com/shine-a-light-in-the-darknessOfficial Music Video: https://youtu.be/d1l7jWRcbP4  This is a public episode.

When it comes to being a Christian musician, Rhode Island native Jonas Woods will tell you that it's not about the music, but instead it's about being obedient to the call of God on his life to communicate the truth and love of God and the message of the Gospel to anyone who will listen. From his early days sharing stages with bands like Petra to present day projects, Jonas talks about being on the road as a "musicianary," coaching church worship teams to become more effective leaders, and building redemptive relationships that draw people closer to Jesus.    Connect with Jonas Woods! www.jonaswoods.net farewelljune02@aol.com Listen To Jonas Woods!

Old Bear Records released a new album by artist Roemer as a follow up to his critically acclaimed EP, "Straight Bars and Guns." "I Fly Solo" is a nine song full length album engineered, mixed, and mastered by Ljudevit Ivic at Funkhaus in Berlin, Germany.  This beautiful and haunting collection of songs were written and performed by Roemer.  Topics ranging from friendship, love, chaos, and time are undergirded by Roemer's distinct and recognizable voice dancing over the dynamic and at times dissonant chord phrases that make up Roemer's unique sound.  We know you're going to love this new album as much as we do.  We caught up with him to discuss his new release.  Enjoy!

Philadelphia resident and Old Bear Records newcomer Ryan Anderson AKA Opal Hush is punching above his weight class and giving Rocky Balboa a run for his money. Remote Viewer is poetic and cinematic while invoking a sacred imagination that will meet you new each time whether listening on vinyl by the fireplace with a whiskey or in the car making a last minute grocery run with the kids after school. Each listen through confronts you with making decisions as to whether focus on the lyrics which sits seductively almost behind the music or raptured up in to the worlds that Opal Hush is sonically creating. It's safe to say that this album will meet you where you are but it will sound different every time.

Old Bear Records reissued the self titled debut album by atmospheric instrumental rock band, All The Bright Lights on vinyl to commemorate the ten year anniversary of its original release.  All The Bright Lights was a North Carolina based trio that quickly made a name for themselves with alt rock and indie fans due to their unique brand of melodic swirling guitars, brooding arrangements, sonic patchwork, and a masterful approach to writing and performing instrumental music that cuts right to the heart.  Members James Duke, Jon Duke, and Jacob Arnold’s musical chemistry is still ear candy for the music lover and we simply couldn’t be more excited to add this release to our growing instrumental Old Bear catalog.  All the Bright Lights’ debut album will be a delight for fans of the Cure, the Smiths, Radiohead, Swervedriver, and Arcade Fire.   

What happens when you mix the experimental production of Old Bear Records producer, Chris Hoisington with the Old Bear Session Squad and an award winning science fiction author?  You get “Welcome Up” by Paul Levinson, that’s what!  We can honestly say, we’ve never done a project like this and we are really proud of the results of this artistic collaboration with Paul!   Chris Hoisington knew of Paul from his 1972 album release “Twice upon a rhyme” that has since been reissued four times (once in Japan and once in South Korea!)  Chris felt that Old Bear could make a great album with Paul that combined Paul’s penchant for all things science fiction with Paul’s natural musical bents towards sunshine-pop and psychedelic folk-rock.  We believe Chris was right! “Welcome Up” is a collection of eight songs that beam you up into a creative galaxy where you take on the persona of an astronaut exploring sonic spaces that at times are reminiscent of The Beach Boys on tracks like “Welcome Up” and “Tau Ceti;” and at other times can feel like the MC5 being shot out of a ray gun on tracks like “Samantha.“

Welcome to Light On Light Through, Episode 123, in which the inimitable Captain Phil (on WUSB Radio) again interviews me about my new music, latest science fiction, and Donald Trump. But this time, there's my brand new album of science fiction related songs, Welcome Up: Songs of Space and Time (now releasing by Old Bear Records), to talk about.  And we're right in the middle of the impeachment trial of Donald Trump (author Bill McNulty joins us for the first part of this discussion).  Phil also plays, at the start and end of the episode, two songs from Welcome Up.

Old Bear Records is branching out into exciting new territory in 2019 as we begin reissuing some of our favorite retro indie music! Certain bands and artists over the years released some incredible albums that maybe didn't get the promo or attention they deserved, and we want to help more people discover them. Some of these records have a ton of indie credibility but haven't been easy to get your hands on - until now! Plans are in place to re-issue 4 classic albums on vinyl this year by artists like All Saved Freak Band, The Trees Community, Twin Sister (Three words: Star. Wars. Grunge.), and James Duke's All the Bright Lights. Check out this brief episode of the pod for previews and more of the heart behind the reissue endeavor from Chris.

Here we are, the end of season one of The Bear Tone Podcast!  Ten episodes that give you insight into what Old Bear Records is all about.  Recording session stories, details about songs and many, many other fun behind the scenes Old Bear Records folk lore tales.  Here it is the final episode of season one recapping our adventure this year. Thanks for coming on the journey with us! See you again in season two. 

Old Bear Records recently invited recording artist, Weston Skaggs to join hosts Lukas Iverson and Anthony Hoisington on the newest episode of Bear Tone Podcast.  Together, they discuss what it was like to be the first artist to record with Old Bear; who some of the influences that shaped his sound were; how to keep things festive while recording a Christmas album during the summer; how a rare organ found on the side of the road became the main instrument on Weston’s album; and more!  Get to know Weston through this new episode of Bear Tone!

In this episode we interview Old Bear Records producer Chris Hoisington. Chris has produced just about every Old Bear Records project to date. Lukas sat down with Chris to discuss the culture of Old Bear Records and the progression of music as he sees it.  

Every once and a while an artist comes along that reminds us of a sound and style from our musical heritage. Often that sound and style has been off of our radar for so long that we have neglected and maybe even forgotten it. Then, we encounter an artist that sings in the sound, and writes in that style, and they remind us of why we need to go back to that era and rediscover our roots!  Meet Eric Lee Brumley.  Eric is unlike any artist we've ever worked with.  Musically, Eric has deep roots in Delta Blues and Gospel Soul.  Lyrically, Eric being a former addict and finding freedom from his past addictions through his faith in Jesus, is a living testament of the power of Jesus that breaks the chains that hold us back from living our best life possible. Eric wants you to know that he's serious about the freedom he has found with every lyric he sings.  His faith is not a passive faith.  It is a fiery, take the bull by the horns, practical life-application kind of faith based on the words written in red in the Good Book! Vocally, Eric reminds us of Mavis Staples mixed with Keith Green. Just let that settle in for a minute!   "Deliver Us From Evil," his first single from his upcoming full-length album released by Old Bear Records is out today!  The single is available for pre-order at iTunes now, and we can't wait for you to hear it!

In our very first Bear Tone episode we interview Anthony Hoisington.  Anthony is a member of Brothers McClurg as well as the president of Old Bear Records.  We sat down and discussed life, how Old Bear Records began and the journey that has brought so much great music. We hope you enjoy!
