Richard T Bear boasts a career that spans more than 40 years, one that led to a string of solo albums and collaborations with numerous music icons. In 1978, he signed with RCA Records and released his debut album, Red, Hot, and Blue, produced by Jack Richardson (Bob Seger, The Guess Who) that featured Les Dudek, Billy Squier, Paul Shaffer, and The Brecker Brothers. The album spawned the single “Sunshine Hotel.” A remix of the song reached the top five on the world dance charts before becoming the dance staple that it remains today. A second album followed titled, “Bear” that included a rendition of The Rolling Stones’ classic, “Ruby Tuesday” and Captured Alive, a concert recorded in Hamburg, Germany. In 1984, he moved to Teldec Records, which led to the release of “The Bear Truth,” and the Giorgio Moroder produced album “The Runner.”
In 2021, T Bear released his first studio album in 25 years, “Fresh Bear Tracks,” chock full of blues/rock and soulful tracks featuring special appearances by Stephen Stills, Robby Krieger, Edgar Winter, Walter Trout, Laurence Juber (Wings), Denny Seiwell (Wings), Tony Braunagel, Tom Scott, Lenny Castro, and more. His latest album, “The Way of the World,” co-produced by Tony Braunagel and Laurence Juber, was released in early 2024, and garnered critical acclaim in Europe as well as the U.S. The bonus track, “Red Harvest,” featured a duet with Bad Company’s Paul Rodgers.

Skip Spiro's 10 Piece Jazz/Blues Project features the original works of
some of the most creative composer/arrangers on the scene today. The
sound of the group is an eclectic mix of the traditional big band era of the
30s and 40s, the burnin' NY bebop scene of the 50s and 60s, the rock/funk/
latin fusion scene that came to follow, and forms yet to be defined.
"The beauty of this 10 piece format", Spiro says, "is that we're big enough
to produce a very full ensemble sound, yet small enough to shine the
spotlight on each of the players. So the focus of the group is on new
original material (along with re-worked standards and such) designed to
feature each of these great ensemble players as soloists in their own right.
In the traditional sense, there are no sidemen in this band, everyone is a
featured soloist. This not only makes for a great musical experience, but a
very happy band. And of course judging from responses we receive night
after night, that enthusiasm translates right out there to the audience!”
An all-star lineup hits the stage at The Grape in Ventura on Thursday November 12. Musical artists who have toured and recorded with Cher, Kenny Loggins, Doobie Brothers, Maynard Ferguson, Ray Charles, Olivia Newton-John, Pat Benatar, Frank Sinatra Jr, Joan Armatrading, Melissa Manchester, and more —all in one tight knit fiery ensemble.
