Mover & Shaker from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Little Bear are a four piece band from Northern Ireland playing emotionally literate rock, and are made up of Steven McCool (Bass and vocals), Mark O'Doherty (Drums), Ryan Griffiths (Guitar), and Conor Mason (Piano).

After releasing "I'd Let You Win", a preview to their debut E.P, Little Bear received some fantastic reviews - Including both "Flavour of the Month" and "Ones to Watch" from BBC introducing. 

Some extremely well-received live shows followed, including an appearance at Dublin's Hard Working Class Heroes festival and the Derry juncture of Other Voices. Soon after, the band was asked to play at the first Other Voices event in London’s timeless Wilton’s Music Hall, along with acts like Villagers, John Grant and Imelda May. The summer has been filled with festivals, including the last Glasgowbury, Indiependence, Castlepalooza, Stendhal and they are now looking forward to playing Electric Picnic.

Little Bear have seen tracks playlisted on BBC Radio 1, Rte 1, Downtown and City Beat.

The band have just released their first single with Smalltown America records, a double A-side of “Night Dries Like Ink” and “Killer”.
