Big Bad Bears was first formed in 1986 by four musicians in Kuopio, Finland to perform blues in a variety of it's regional styles. Through the years many faces on the line have chanced and group has grown, and so has the repertoire. Horn section came in over 15 years ago.

In "Bears blues"  you can hear something between modern blues,  rhythm'n'blues, soul and swing. Today Big Bad Bears has 7 members and band offers "the sound of bears" with their originals and covers (Slim Harpo, T-Bone Walker, Albert Collins, Louis Jordan..) in 4 CD's and LIVE concerts.

Bears-blues tarjoilee vaikutteita niin soulista, swingistä, R&B:sta kuin modernista bluesistakin. Tänään 7 hengen bändin ohjelmistosta kolmasosa on omaa materiaalia. Lainattuihin säveliinkin pyritään saamaan persoonallista ilmaisua, jota on kuultavissa neljällä CD:llä ja keikolla.
