A project years in the making, Bears In Hazenmore is an alternative-ambient folk group from the heart of the prairies. Spearheaded by composer and multi-instrumentalist Brady Frank, Bears In Hazenmore draws in audiences with intimate lyricism and passionate, orchestral climaxes. Operating as a 5-piece ensemble that includes extensive use of ambient guitar, brass and woodwind textures, and dynamic percussion, they draw strong influences from groups such as Bon Iver, Local Natives and Explosions In the Sky. A diversity of tastes from Brady and the other band members’ rich backgrounds in jazz, classical and rock music resonates through their sound. Their self-titled EP was released on August 16 (www.facebook.com/BearsInHazenmore).
