King Edward Vol 1

Mike King and Ed Smith were Sun Bear's first recording effort.  Their Hill Country Reggae sound has to be heard rather than explained.  Mike's song lyrics are poignant and beautiful and their covers are masterful.   

Come Together

King Edward Vol 1

King Edward Vol 1

This project came from songwriter and guitarist Garry Burnside and vocalist Oshi Triplett.  Garry was moved to write a song about reconciliation that will touch your heart and make you want to do better!!

On February 15, 2020, a few guys came in to try out the brand new studio equipment.  It was warm and sunny outside so the doors were open.  JC thought to hit record as the guys goofed off in the studio.  It's a good thing because that would turn out to be our dear friend, Buddy Grisham's, last music.  He died of Covid-19 Complications on April 3.  This is what we recorded that day.

Garry Burnside and Mike King collaborated on this April 2021 released CD of foot stomping Hill Country Blues - old style!!  In the shadow of JR and RL they make magic with a simple acoustic guitar and stomp box.  

Come Together

We took Garry and Oshi's Come Together song and made a video of kids, teachers and parents from Blue Mountain School.  These families and thousands like them are counting on all of us to come together for a fabulous future!!!
