Starting life as the acoustic project of songwriter Lee Switzer, the band have come together and developed a unique sound that brings his lyrics to life between moments of intimate acoustic folk and full on panic.

BEAR WOODS
Bear from (Bear & The Woods) splits his time between being in a high energy fourpiece and a deadpan one-man band. With songs that deal with love, death, depression and rabbits, this is Folk as it should be. Honest, visceral and pure.
