Composer, singer/songwriter, Bear Connelly, received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music from Skidmore College. A native of Rhode Island, Bear has performed his original compositions at clubs and festivals throughout New England and Northern California.
Using a first person approach to songwriting, Bear tackles issues that are a part of our everyday lives, from relationships, strength of self, compassion, desires of the mind and heart, authority figures, to the human impact on the natural world.
