Elly and The Bear

We are lively, entertaining, and fresh to the acoustic scene. We are constantly updating our set lists, returning to venues with fulfilled song requests (we keep your customers coming back!), and keeping the energy at whatever level you want it to be. We can do relaxed background music or in your face sing-a-long, and dancing, sets. We will work with you to get the crowd you want in your venue.

If you are looking for a regular acoustic act, just to mix it up once in awhile, or need any fill-ins Elly and The Bear would love to be considered. We even do weddings!
John (aka The Bear), has been playing guitar for over a decade. He spent time playing venues in Italy, Washington, and Florida.
Our act is a bit more contemporary -- we play songs you hear on the radio right now mixed with 70s, 80s, and 90s, tunes. We have now established ourselves on a pretty decent rotation in Warwick, Cranston, and have also been playing The Hard Rock Cafe in Foxwoods, CT regularly.
Elese's past and current experience involves being the front-woman for a local indie alt-rock band called For the Love of Sloane. They have a decent local following and get play on both WBRU and WHJY. Most recently they were nominated for 2012 Band of the Year by Limelight Magazine. Elese was also nominated for Motif Magazine's 2013 Female Alt-Rock Vocalist of the Year. In the past Sloane has won numerous battle of the bands, Elese had a prior nomination for female vocalist of the year, and the band also won Breakthrough Band of the Year in 2009 for Motif Magazine. They have even played Lilith Fair in CT.
With an extensive network of friends and fans and we feel confident your customers would eat, drink, and be happy listening to our songs!
If any of this sounds appealing and you'd like to give us a chance please let me know and we can book some upcoming dates!

We have a full PA system. All we require is access to electricity, proper/ambient lighting, and seating.
