About this Act
Lone Bear brings to the stage classic blues hits from the '20s to the '60s including delta blues, ragtime, gospels and country tunes among originals. His finger-picking style and bottle-neck slide technique on resonator guitar, banjo, harmonica and soulful voice have taken him through eighteen countries across five continents.
Lone Bear's latest album was recorded in 2018 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, USA, during the biggest blues festival in the heart of the delta - Juke Joint Festival. Over 10,000 CDs sold worldwide across his discography. He is now working on a new album to be released next year.
Performing live, the multi-instrumentalist shares an authentic set list that is able to be catered to your needs. This includes up-beat songs suitable for dancing to/entertaining a crowd, or relaxing blues tunes that fit background or dinner music. He has experience performing at Festivals, Clubs, Bars, Cruise Ships, Restaurants, Weddings, Private Parties and Corporate Events, and is comfortable tailoring his show as necessary.
