About this Event

Bear & The Woods

Bear & The Woods formed in early 2012, with multi-talented musicians Harry Watts and Sam Templeman, members of Reading band South House Daze, and singer-songwriter Bear. Beginning as an acoustic three piece, the band started playing shows around Reading and accruing support wherever they went. After deciding to add drums to the dynamic (involving Ryan Winter, another member of SHD) and a chance encounter with producer and sound engineer, Graeme Rawson, they recorded their first, self-titled, EP. Upon completion of the recording, Graeme signed them to his non-profit, non-exclusive label, The Ubiquity Project (http://ubiprorec.wordpress.com/) and the band had their first radio airplay, winning ‘Demo of the Week’ on Linda Serck’s BBC Introducing Berkshire, with their track ‘The Trial’.



The Offshore Rivers

The Offshore Rivers were formed over many nights spent around a record player, lost on the likes of The Stones, George Harrison, Gram Parsons, Otis Redding, the Byrds, Captain Beefheart, Jimmy Cliff, Neil Young, the Band to name but a few



The resulting sound is of jangly 60s guitar pop, heartfelt blues and tender soul, laden with country guitar, bittersweet harmonies and Dylan-esque prose.



The band are currently working on their first album which they hope to have out later this year.
