Wayne "Bear" Sauls, was born in 1948 and by the age of thirteen, the beginning of the sixties, he was performing professionally.
In his career, he has had the opportunity to share the stage with such greats as the Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniels, Warren Haynes, David Allan Coe, and the Nighthawks, to name a few.
Bear is one of those fortunate musicians who lived, played, and survived through the birthing of this new sound in music.
As lead guitarist for the Eric Quincy Tate band, he rode the wave of some of the greatest years of rock and roll.
He joined the band in 1973 and performed nationally as well as recording on such labels as Atlantic, Cotillion, Capricorn, SLI Records and Chikin Scratch Records.
In the early eighties he formed the Stone Mountain Band with long time friends Lou Thorpe and Ray Jarrell.
The band played southeastern venues opening for artists such as Bo Diddly, and Johnny Winter.
Through the remainder of the eighties, he played lead guitar for one of the hottest country acts of the day, David Allan Coe.
Bear traveled internationally with Coe's band until the late eighties when he formed what's known today as the "Bear Facts Band." Wayne Sauls & The Bear Facts Band recently (October, 2001)had the opportunity to perform with rock legend, Buddy Miles, at the Iron Horse Saloon's Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach.
The "Bear Facts Band" featuring Steven "Fatdawg" Hawkins on drums and vocals, brings to their audiences and fans the sound of a time when Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues, wailing guitars and soulful vocals touched the hearts of a generation.
If you are in the market for a real dose of goodtime, rockin guitar and boogie woogie blues straight from the heart, The "Bear Facts Band" is a don't miss act.

After being the lead guitar player for Eric Quincy Tate (the forgotten great band from Macon, GA) in the seventies, and playing guitar in the David Allan Coe Band, in the eighties, Wayne Sauls is back with a great, great, blues-rock album.
This album covers different styles of blues-rock music, from chicago style Big legged woman, to texan style Don't come around here, reminding ZZTOP. One of the most beautiful songs on the album is for sure the great It's up to you, with a construction reminding Melissa (Allman Brothers Band), with Steven Hawkins on vocals, sounding real close to Gregg Allman.
If you never heard about Eric Quincy Tate, you can discover what was this band on stage, with the song " Half ain't been told". Let's note Paul Hornsby on Hammond B-3 organ. Dominique Turgot

Wayne Sauls & The Bear Facts Band
(Alternative Urban/Atlanta Music Group)
Wayne "Bear" Sauls, best known as guitarist for the unsung heroes of Southern Rock, Eric Quincy Tate, is an awesome force in the world of blues-rock. His powerful and heartfelt vocals coupled with some good ol' blues guitar make for a highly listenable album of twelve tunes that run the gamut from the blues standard "Big Legged Woman" to a killer pop song "It's Up to You." It is a compilation of some of Bear's very best tunes, with Steven Hawkins on drums, Kirk Plunkett on bass and Southern Rock guru Paul Hornsby at the B-3. Many of Bear's old EQT bandmates put in appearances, helping to make this one required listening for the connoisseur of blues or Southern Rock.

Essential Blues & Southern Rock.
author: Willie Johnson / Blues News 'n' Review
This new album by Wayne Sauls and company rocks the Blues. The album is a cross-blend of Bear's masterful heartfelt guitar work and the gripping emotions conveyed by the dynamic soulful vocals of Steven 'Fatdawg' Hawkins. From Sauls hot original shuffle number, 'Hand In The Pocket', to the sound of the Capricorn Records days of Hawkins' high-light tune, 'It's Up To You', (the Allman Brothers should cover), to the well lyrically crafted Country/Blues/Rock tune by Hannon/Hawkins, 'Three Quarter Moon', the album takes you on a tour of Southern influenced music, uncharacteristic of most current day Blues albums. Jams to arrangements, Blues to Rock, this album by Wayne Sauls & The Bear Facts Band, with Steven 'Fatdawg' Hawkins, is essential to all Blues and Southern music collections. -Willie Johnson/Blues News 'N' Review
