Bear's Den: Heartfelt Harmonies With A DIY Spirit

Soundcheck | Mar 5, 2014

Bear's Den has built a cult following in England thanks to its heartfelt three-part harmonies, personal songwriting, and DIY approach -- right down to the custom hand-carved potato paw prints stamped on each CD. A part of the same London folk scene that produced Laura Marling and Mumford and Sons, the British trio -- comprised of Andrew Davie, Joey Haynes, and Kevin Jones -- is now winning over fans stateside, touring with likeminded artists like Daughter and the Mumfords.

On its two critically acclaimed EPs -- last year's Agape, and the followup, Without/Within -- band's intimate songs evoke a warm tranquility, with romantic and aching musings about love and loss. With a full-length album coming later this year, Bear's Den appears to be on the cusp of something far bigger, and it will be fun to see where they go next.

Set List:

"Writing On The Wall"
"Agape"
"Isaac"
