Bear's Den Make U.S. Network TV Debut; Confirms U.S. Tour in January

Acclaimed U.K. band Bear's Den made their U.S. network television debut on "CBS This Morning: Saturday," with performances of "Red Earth & Pouring Rain," "Dew On The Vine" and "Emeralds."

The songs appear on their new album, Red Earth & Pouring Rain, which debuted top 10 in the U.K. and continues to receive critical acclaim from The Wall Street Journal as well as Clash who says, "A mature, creative second album...this London-based band have carefully crafted a second album which showcases a euphoric step forward and poignant growth in their musicality...Davie's attention to detail paired with his ability to make you feel involved in these heart-wrenching situations is second to none."
Additionally, after a sold-out summer U.S. tour the band confirms additional dates in January with stops in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, Boston, Philadelphia, Austin and more. Tickets are on pre-sale Tuesday, October 18 exclusively from the band's website at bearsdenmusic.co.uk, before the general on-sale Friday, October 21. See below for a complete list of dates.

Red Earth & Pouring Rain was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales with the band's longtime producer Ian Grimble. Following the amicable departure of guitarist Joey Haynes, Bear's Den now comprises a six-piece touring unit built around a nucleus of singer-songwriter Andrew Davie and multi-instrumentalist Kev Jones, assisted by touring musicians Jools Owen (brass/drums) and Marcus Hamblett (synths). "Being on the road so much pushes friendships to the limit, and really affects your relationships outside of it. You get extreme highs and lows," reflects Davie.
The London-based band played music in various incarnations before officially forming in 2012. They developed a cult following in their short existence as a result of their writing, harmonies, D.I.Y. approach with custom hand-stamped CDs and extensive touring. It was only after finding their identity on the road, which was documented in the film Austin to Boston, that the band focused their attention on studio recordings. Their 2014 debut LP Islands was released to widespread international critical acclaim. They received a 2015 Ivor Novello Award nomination, the U.K.'s most prestigious songwriting accolade, alongside notable acts Ben Howard and Hozier.
