Black Bear Combo
Firebreathing horns, thunderous drums, serpentine melodies, and crooked rhythms issue forth from this skeleton crew of a brass band. Black Bear Combo channels the common energy between street music of the Balkans and elsewhere with various strains of rock and jazz. Since 2002 we've brought our sound to bars, basements, festivals, weddings, funerals, parties and street corners across the country.
