The Nashville Knack: Bear's Den

"...the genuine roots of culture is folk music." -- John Lydon

Calmness endows the nature of Bear's Den's music. Every note is carefully played, each lyric is strategically placed, and the final result is a piece of art unlike any other. Andrew Davie and Kev Jones have a stage presence that is insurmountable by mosts bands in alternative folk music today.

When Bear's Den played in Nashville, Tennessee at the infamous 3rd and Lindsley, their set up brought about pure excitement with people closing in inch by inch to get close to the stage. The anticipation in the room after hearing the opening act, Gill Landry, grew as the time for the main act drew in closer. Before Bear's Den walked out, the floor filled with an excited audience of all different ages. There was certainly no wiggle room once the show was about to begin.

The show began with a bang. The energy in the room was electric, as the wait was finally over. Bear's Den began their set playing "Red Earth & Pouring Rain." The song was an instant hit with the crowd cheering in a roar of enlivenment.

As the concert went on not a single soul in the room moving from their spot, but instead was lost in every song. The ability for a band to do this takes an immense amount of talent, which is some Bear's Den has.


The song that captured my mind in its fullest was the song "Roses on a Breeze." The slow melody of the song matched with Andrew Davie's buttery smooth voice drew me into every note.

Of course this would not be a Bear's Den show without their most popular songs "Above the Clouds of Pompeii" and "Agape." Both songs were nominated for awards in 2015 and 2016.

These songs captured the full essence of Bear's Den with its powerful, masterful lyrics, head bobbing sounds, and catchy melodies. Everyone in the audience sang every word to these songs. It was certainly magical to witness the unification of the vast amount of people singing along.

It was the magnetic presence that was unavoidable to everyone in the room that made the show as amazing as it was. This is only one stop on the tour, and you can witness greatness by checking out their tour stops here. If you cannot make it to their show, be sure to check out the hyperlinked songs above or on iTunes. Share this with your friends if you want to convert them into becoming fans!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
