Bear Ryan, a Texan born and bred, draws her musical inspiration from the rich tapestry of Delta blues that once filled her ears during her formative years. Today, she channels this influence into her distinctive brand of low-fence country blues as both a gifted singer and a compelling songwriter.

Bear's music transcends boundaries, seamlessly blending elements of Blues, Country, Americana, and Rock 'n' Roll, making her a magnet for a diverse range of music enthusiasts.
Join Bear Ryan on her musical voyage, where the roots of Delta blues meet the frontier of modern storytelling, and let her hypnotize you into joining her in the weird and wild cosmic world that she calls home.
He’s a long, tall Texan. Guitar-maker and player. If Bear’s lyics are the call, Robertson’s riffs are the response. Together they form a unique duo of distortion and grit, in service of the song.
Robertson came up in the south central Texas heat, raising plants and training horses and dogs. The cowboy hat keeps the sun off, it’s not just a silly prop.
He learned to play guitar at a young age, banging around the fret board and America’s highways as he and his buddies drifted from town to town. Drawn to the likes of Johnny Guitar Watson, Robertson developed a minimalist style that is all groove and no fluff. It complimented Bear’s sensibilities quite nicely and a duo was born.
When he is not performing on stage, Robertson is building custom instruments in his workshop. He builds all of the guitars played by Bear Ryan and you can learn more at Laurel Avenue Guitars
