New Artist Signing

Fishbear blends many musical styles to create a unique and exuberant sound incorporating elements of ska, indie, classic rock, klezmer, jazz, and more. The group is part of a growing number of bands that meld genres in creative ways... like Beirut, Gogol Bordello, and Vampire Weekend, which are taking what was once thought of as 'world' music and making it into something new and exciting.
Despite their ages (currently 17 to 18), Fishbear has a seasoned stage presence. Each member of the group has been performing in bands since they were 11 or 12 and all are accomplished on more than one instrument. Fishbear has an egalitarian chemistry and work ethic so the contributions of each band member are reflected in their songs. Attending an arts magnet school in Santa Rosa, California provided an opportunity for the guys to supplement their eclectic musical interests and flair for popular music with experimentation and performance in forms like jazz, classical, chamber music and concert choir. These dynamics and the band's openness to innovation contribute to the Fishbear sound audiences are beginning to love and admire. Distinctive in many senses, Fishbear's music appeals to a diverse fan base, with melodies, harmonies and virtuosity to please musically sophisticated tastes while exhibiting sufficient bite and attitude to attract younger audiences in search of release and wild dancing.
Fishbear is:
Travis Hendrix, keyboards, sax, and vocals
Hadley Black, lead guitar and vocals
Josh Jackson, trumpet and vocals
Gaven Hayden-Town, bass and vocals
Sebastian Shader, trombone, mandolin, violin, vocals
Ben Weiner, drums and vocals
