Biography
RESIDENTIAL BEAR brings back whats missing from good old fashioned rock and roll. Comprised of five musicians who have spent the last few years logging countless hours and over 150,000 kilometers touring to prove that the hard rockin sounds of the 60s and 70s dont need to be performed by musicians in their 60s and 70s. Residential Bear features three members of The Led Zeppelin Show, the worlds most accurate tribute to live Led Zeppelin. They use vintage gear, vintage chops and a staggering repertoire of everything from AC/DC to ZZ Top and The Beatles to Stevie Wonder to get people dancing, singing and having an unforgettable time rocking with the groovy sounds of the Bear.
