There are four artists known as Black Bear.
1) The more popular of the three being Sam Beebe who is an
experimental solo artist recording as Black Bear and involving microphones, pedals, an organ, a train whistle, "Dr. Groove", electricity, and his hands.
2006 saw the release of Black Bear's debut album, "The Cinnamon Phase", released on
seattle label Baskerville Hill Records (which Sam co-runs with Scott Reitherman). It features songs and music, as the best albums generally do.
2) Black Bear is also a folk-rock artist collective from Nevada City, CA. featuring
Alela Diane and Thaddeus Stoenner, of
them hills, among others.
3) Originally called USSR and inspired by
Black Bear Diner and its wondrous
Ursus americanus portion-sized meals, Black Bear's foundation of love and fusion of pranks and opposing musical backgrounds have led originals Jared & Tamra to a new
astronomical dimension of pleasantries.
Their first full length album "Tico" features tracks "Cobra Nebula" and "Fiery Fate" along with the increasingly popular "Old Jailbird Song". Tico is available on
itunes and
myspace.
Transitioning from Tico's mellow and eclectic feel, Black Bear is currently (May 2009) recording their new album "Sergio", adding a forgotten element called energy.
4) Black Bear is also a southern hardcore band from Massachusetts.
