Debut album from The Bear and the Bison
Look for the self-titled debut album from The Bear and the Bison to drop on Feb. 13 on vinyl and in streaming formats.
The Bear and the Bison is among the bands that have been featured in the SAM Foundation’s Emerging Artists series (back in 2018!).
Led by Mark W. Lennon, the band is described as Appalachian country and roots rock … putting them right in our zone. We hope to write more about this album next issue.
Among the people helping out on the album are Dean Vivirito (Who Can Sleep) on vocals, Harmony Griffin (Uncle Ben’s Remedy, Leroy Townes) on guitars, Patrick Jackson (Folkfaces) on standup bass, Jim Whitford on lap and pedal steel, Jacob Brockway on pedal steel, Charlie Coughlin (The Brothers Blue) on fiddle, Michael Russeck on piano. Mark Lennon does vocals, guitars, banjo, bass, and drums with songs written by Mark and Courtney S. Lennon.
