Big Man and Bear - Duo | South Africa, Eastern Cape

Description

Big Man and Bear uses live looping to create and build songs on the spot. No genre is off limits as they are capable of performing intimate folk and jazz songs as well as rock, pop and even the occasional techno and dance songs. Armed only with an acoustic guitar, keyboards and other gadgetry, they can create a rich soundscape of musical tones fit for any event. They are capable of performing as a stripped-down acoustic duo as well focusing on tight harmonies and subtle vocal interplay.
