About Me

Singing Bear has been wowing audiences in California, Oregon, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona for the past two years since his move to San Francisco. He has become recognized for his poignant lyrics, which remain uplifting and positive even with such delicate topics as war and society, his soulful voice which tugs at the heart and his tight acoustic jams. He is on the fore front of the consciousness movement spreading the message of sustainability, co-existence, and love. His songs have been featured in several compilation CDs, independent films, and showcased at events such as Raw Spirit in Sedona, AZ and Dreamtime Fest in Paonia,

" . . . about as funky as you can get with an acoustic guitar." Eric Leighton Athens News

"His songs are like roadmaps for the next generation." Stephanie Bone Singer

Wade Hutson is an incredible composer, singer-songwriter, and performer. He was born in Deleware, and went to music school in Connecticut, spending tireless hours studying musical relationships and rhythmic structures. He actually designed a "grid" outlining the mathematical relationships between all scales. He teaches workshops in music theory, musical sacred geometry, and sound healing. He is also an incredible on several instruments including the bass, djembe percussion, and keyboards. He is featured on all three in the album "Supported" and has an unreleased electronic album which has some great tracks. Wade and Singing Bear met in January 2007 in Farifax, CA at 19 Broadway playing their very first set at an open-mic. Four months later they recorded "Supported" which has already reached far and wide.

Kevin Njikam is a spiritual sorcerer of the electric guitar and keyboards. He is a smooth, seamless composer and performer of a sort of Wes Montgomery, Herbie Hancock, Jerry Garcia School. He moves in and out of riffs with amazing ease and has, along with Wade, composed several of the Aumnibus original jazzy fusion jam tunes. Most of his electric guitar work that is featured on "Supported" was done in one or two takes with very little pre-production. Together Kevin and Wade formed Aumnibus in Connecticut with a slant towards eclectic tribal jazz. They both met Singing Bear in January and following their intuition, fused their variety of music with his more folky, reggae, world beat style. Now they have emerged as a combination of all of it, a brand of music they call, World Tribal Folk Jazz Fusion.

Lindy Kehoe, is not only an incredible floutist and singer, but is a prolific and astounding visionary painter. Many of her paintings can be viewed online . Her paintings have been featured in several publications including the We-Moon wall and date book calendars and a children's book. She continues to exhibit her colorful, figurative artwork around the country. Her gentle spirit and playful laughter is a precious blessing to this world. And her flute addes such a powerful element to the Aumnibus mix that it tends to swirl you right up and out of your shoes.

Travis is a great drummer who also performs as an electronic artist under the name travels. Check out his myspace page at http://myspace.com/travelsounds .
