About

GRIZZLY BEAR IN CONCERT:

With their ethereal four-part vocal harmonies, a strong indie rock base, and a healthy dose of psychedelic experimentation, Grizzly Bear have become the accessible arthouse torchbearers of millennials who rock. At their live shows, they effuse beautifully dissonant melodies anchored by sharp instrumentation, topping it all off with stunning visuals. As they contemplate a follow-up to 2013's Shields, Grizzly Bear will leave it all on stage for fans at select 2014 tour dates, which include several solo appearances by band member Daniel Rossen.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Originally a solo project for frontman Ed Droste in the early '00s, Brooklyn's Grizzly Bear slowly grew into a full band of proportionately talented performers. They started to make serious critical waves with their first release as a full-quartet, 2006's Yellow House, landing on the Top 10 year-end lists of several major media outlets. Their major break came, however, in 2008 when their tourmates Radiohead dubbed them their favorite band at the time — a huge endorsement by an even huger band. This public recommendation propelled their next album, 2008's Veckatimest, into the indie-rock stratosphere, making the band a household name among the dorm-room set. The band has since released another record and continues to tour relentlessly.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Perfect sound, perfect setlist, perfect venue, top notch!"

"Simon and Garfunkel + Beach Boys + Doo Wop + Brooklyn Hipsters = Grizzly Bear. Close vocal harmony by four amazing voices. Esoteric lyrics, sophisticated arrangement and production. Lights and fog. Transcendent."

"Great show! Music was beautiful; the light set up was beautiful and magical"

    Grizzly Bear was AWESOME

    by meepers29 on 8/17/17State Theatre - Portland

    Fantastic show all-around, with a killer setlist, cute between-song banter, and super cool lighting on a simple backdrop that contributed to an awesomely mystical atmosphere. I would jump at the chance to see them again in a theatre this size; just perfect.

    Outstanding Grizzly Bear!

    by nowrunner on 8/5/13Taft Theatre - Cincinnati

    The Grizzly Bear show on 8/2/13 in Cincinnati was one of the top ten shows I've seen EVER. The band members are super musicians- the bass player might be the best I've ever heard, and is somehow even better live. The songwriting is innovative and memorable, and the singing (all four guys, but especially Ed, Dan, and the bass player) is just great to hear live. The drummer is outstanding. The show was a real treat, an emotionally fulfilling and draining experience.

    Grizzly Bear = Outstanding New Music

    by CSW51 on 8/5/13Taft Theatre - Cincinnati

    Simon and Garfunkel + Beach Boys + Do Wop + Brooklyn Hipters = Grizzly Bear. Close vocal harmony by four amazing voices. Esoteric lyrics, sophisticated arrangement and production. Lights and fog. Transcendent. Now if the youngsters in the audience would just sit down, shut up and listen. ;)

    Dreamed the long day just wandering free...

    by giganticseacow on 6/28/13The Fillmore Miami Beach - Miami

    Grizzly Bear is, by far, one of the bands I have ever seen live. Their Miami debut was incredible, opening with "Speak in Rounds" and playing a lot of great songs from their newest album, Shields. Ed and Dan sang beautifully, with great instrumentation by Chris and Chris. Really enjoyed the lighting in this show. The opening act was also incredible, Majical Cloudz! I had heard of them before and their new album, Impersonator sounds great. But Devon's vocals live are absolutely incredible, creating such an atmospheric experience when he performed live. Overall, awesome experience and I can't wait until they come back!

    Grizzly Bear was better live

    by Brad1995 on 6/23/13The Ritz Ybor - Tampa

    Honestly, the event was really really fun only because I love the band. My group and I were able to get to the front of the crowd and maintain our position. Luckily the Ed Droste and Chris Taylor were right in the foreground of our view. We were thrilled by the performance. At times the lighting was a little abrasive because they used intense strobes. There was technicolor lighting that was really cool. The band also played mostly shields but a LOT of old hits which was awesome. The venue itself was a little stinky, the linoleum was coming off the floor and sticking to our shoes. But, you really can't complain because the ritz provides adequate service.

    Long wait; however, great performance.

    by Anonnnn on 6/22/13The Ritz Ybor - Tampa

    Usually, the band that's opening for the main event excites one and gets one pumped up; however, Majical Cloudz was extremely repetitive and awkward. The performers looked nervous which made me feel nervous. I'm sure they'll become much more comfortable as they perform more. By the time Grizzly Bear opened, I was exhausted, but it was an amazing performance with a beautiful light show.

    There was a mutual admiration, attraction and chemistry between band and audience at The Ritz Ybor. The Grizzly Bear set list, stage design and light show kept us stoked the entire show.

    Grizzly Bear sounds the same live!!! :)

    by Aldowaldo on 4/24/13Tricky Falls Theater - El Paso

    One of the best concerts I've ever gone to. People in El Paso really enjoyed having Grizzly Bear play here. I really hope they come back. One of the most creative bands out there (musically).

    Great show!

    by Iamsam86 on 4/13/13Tricky Falls Theater - El Paso

    Grizzly Bear put on such a great show, even better than I expected. I've seen them and The Shins at Tricky Falls in the last couple months now and even though I'm more familiar with The Shins music, I'd have to say the Grizzly Bear show was superior. Owen Pallet, the opening act, was actually really good too.

    Grizzly Bear and Owen Pallett... incredible!!!

    by GrizzlyBeargroupie on 4/13/13Tricky Falls Theater - El Paso

    I was really impressed by both the opening band as well as Grizzly Bear. When Owen Pallett came onstage, I had no idea who he was; I had never heard his songs before. But once he started playing, he was incredible! I loved how he used the violin in a completely different way, with the loop pedal and a badass drummer, as well as an awesome guitarist. Then when Grizzly Bear came on with all their energy and Dos Equis beer, it was unbelievable! They have incredible talent, especially with their backing vocals. They talked to the crowd a lot and tried to get us really involved.. it felt so personal. It was super awesome being right at the front, because you got to see them up close (I was also able to get the setlist!). They seemed so down-to-earth and like simple people who just wanted to be able to share their sensational music.

    Grizzly Bear - Inspirationally Talented

    by TexasGirl91 on 4/12/13House of Blues Houston - Houston

    Grizzly Bear put on an amazing show at the HOB in Houston. The evening was very special and the band connected well with their audience. I would highly recommend seeing them. I know I will see them again when they come back to Texas. Yee Ha!

    Grizzly Bear was great!

    by Anonymous on 4/11/13House of Blues Houston - Houston

    Both Grizzly Bear and Owen Pallet were great. I love the intimacy of the House of Blues (was in the Balcony) - but found that this show - like most of the ones there - was too loud!!

    Great show terrible crowd

    by steamboatsilly on 4/11/13House of Blues Houston - Houston

    I was very impressed by the show. The band was amazing flooding the room with sound which was only improved by the amazing lights. Unfortunately the crowd wasn't inclined to pay attention. The crowd paying 50 bucks to chit chat over a band isn't usually a problem but with a group that has softer/slower songs it can be a distraction.

    Spiritually moving

    by amsplur on 4/1/13Carnegie Music Hall of Oakland - Pittsburgh

    My boyfriend who got me into Grizzly Bear was unable to make the PGH show because he had to go to VA to see his brother in law become Catholic. He told me I would surely be closer to God at the show than he would be at church. He was right. This was beautiful and amazing. I was blown away by how great they were live. They are even better live than on recording. Big, deep, beautiful sounds. They set list was wonderful and the vibe was intoxicating.

    Grizzly Bear has incredible depth

    by Anonymous on 4/1/13Carnegie Music Hall of Oakland - Pittsburgh

    Grizzly Bear's final encore "All We Ask" exhibited the fact that they have enough musical talent to dazzle a crowd with just a single tom-tom, an acoustic guitar, and 4 voices. They don't need complex and expensive lighting to put on an impressive show, but the lack of in-house-lighting at Carnegie Hall of Oakland did remove some of the sheen from an otherwise sublime performance. This, in combination with a slightly over-amplified bass guitar, was the only issue that I had with an otherwise splendid musical experience.

    Unbelievable

    by Sabsy on 4/1/13Carnegie Music Hall of Oakland - Pittsburgh

    This was amazing! They sound 100x better than on the recording. Go see them, it's worth it!
