bio
A true tumbleweed ensemble. Ever-evolving and ever-changing, Bear State’s lo-fi sound has brought them into the hearts, stereos and car cassette players throughout the desert and across the world. With their often experimental, guitar-saturated tones and memorable lines written with heart, these humble musicians have clearly made their mark. In the Phoenix area?
