Bear Williams
LOVES to teach and give back to the future generation of young up-and-coming bass players. After graduating High School, the Chicago Native cut his teeth in the late 70's and 80's playing bass on songs by Gene Chandler, Jerry Butler, and others at Brunswick, and Chi-Sound Records. Then Bear made his way out to the west coast where he spent twenty-five years living and working in Los Angeles both in the studios and on the road with many of the world's favorite recording artists. He's played on over 400 CDs and still records music for well-known artists today. Bear has received numerous Awards for his creative work including the Keys to the cities of Philadelphia, Dallas, New Orleans and Atlanta. In 2012 Bear received the BET Lifetime Achievement Award for his work with Frankie Beverly & Maze both on tour and for his contribution to the group's 1994 CD titled "Back To Basics" (Warner Bros.) Now after many notable accomplishments in the music industry, Bear has returned to blues heritage.
