Bear's Den will make their U.S. network television debut on "CBS This Morning: Saturday" on
October 15. The band will perform "Red Earth & Pouring Rain," "Dew On The Vine" and "Emeralds" as part of CBS' "Saturday Sessions" segment.
Additionally, the band debuted the official music video for their track "Emeralds," watch the video here: http://bit.ly/2ctLzz1. The song appears on their new album, Red Earth & Pouring Rain, which deputed top 10 in the U.K. and continues to receive critical acclaim from
The Wall Street Journal as well as Clash who says, "A mature, creative second album...this London-based band have carefully crafted a second album which showcases a euphoric step forward and poignant growth in their musicality...Davie's attention to detail paired with his ability to make you feel involved in these heart-wrenching situations is second to none," while Baeble Music furthers, "Red Earth and Pouring Rain is an ambitious next phase in what is apparently an evolutionary sound."
Red Earth & Pouring Rain was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales with the band's longtime producer Ian Grimble. Following the amicable departure of guitarist Joey Haynes,
Bear's Den now comprises a six-piece touring unit built around a nucleus of singer-songwriter Andrew Davie and multi-instrumentalist Kev Jones, assisted by touring musicians Jools Owen (brass/drums) and
Marcus Hamblett (synths). "Being on the road so much pushes friendships to the limit, and really affects your relationships outside of it. You get extreme highs and lows," reflects Davie.
The London-based band played music in various incarnations before officially forming in 2012. They developed a cult following in their short existence as a result of their writing, harmonies, D.I.Y. approach with custom hand-stamped CDs and extensive touring. It was only after finding their identity on the road, which was documented in the film Austin to Boston, that the band focused their attention on studio recordings. Their 2014 debut LP
Islands was released to widespread international critical acclaim. They received a 2015 Ivor Novello Award nomination, the U.K.'s most prestigious songwriting accolade, alongside notable acts
Ben Howard and Hozier.
