Emmett's Bio modestly states that he "is a young Canadian roots musician known for his energetic performances, captivating storytelling and soulful musical ability.  He blends elements of blues, country, and rock; and draws inspiration from artists like Ian Tyson, Joe Strummer, and the troubadour tradition."  

We would like to add that he's one of the best damn guitarists you're likely to find in the biz today.  It seems that people are catching on as he is highly in-demand as a live / session guitarist outside of his own recording career.  

Watch this space and our socials to keep up with Emmett's highlights.

Jordan is the youngest member of one of the best rock bands to come from Canada in a long time.  Don't believe us?  Here is what Jay Buchanan (RIVAL SONS) told his audience at the Commodore Ballroom when recently playing in Vancouver.  

"I would like to give a public service announcement...  The best rock n roll singer in Canada is right here in your backyard; with one of the best Rock bands in the country...  That band is CHASE THE BEAR.  You should be listening to these guys"

 

Jordan is an incredible player and integral part of Chase The Bears sound, songwriting, and live performances.  An expressive and dynamic musician with incredible lines and a rhythmic approach and tightness rarely seen.

The Spitfires, Econoline Crush, GG Dartray, Brundlefly...  Graham is a veteran of the Canadian music scene and is usually referred to as the nicest guy in rock n' roll.  

An accomplished songwriter and composer, in demand FOH tech, classically trained pianist, a monster on the drumkit, and is even great on the bass!  He's currently hammering out crazily tuned riffs at high volumes while belting out disgustingly high harmonies somewhere. Check out his recent solo material for a good time.  

We're extremely stoked to have him on the team and proud to know him as a dear friend.  

PS - Graham also loves Cheap Trick, The Cars, and Kix.

Drew's proficiency in creating massively emotive soundscapes on the guitar is impressive.  He's not just playing the guitar; he's playing the amp, he's playing his effects pedals, he's playing the room, the audience and even his own bandmates. 

Experiencing Drew live with Dear Rouge is a treat for anyone that appreciates great songs presented artistically and emotionally.  They'll walk you down the shores of suffering, up to the mountaintop of joy, and probably introduce you to the cosmos while doing so.  Sparkly, jangly, chuggy, spacey, noisey tones abound. 

Don't try to figure out what he's doing or how he's doing it.  Just let go and enjoy the ride.
