Greg of 'Woobie Bear Music' (website - articles - profile) has a brand new CD out entitled 'Grecote' - Sound Waves'. Click here to listen to some samples and to pick up your own copy.

From the site: "Musically Grecote' combines the elements of Mood and Modern World music together. The single 'Forum' won the 2004 'Camp Pride Song', awarded by the StoneWall Society. Music provides lots of emotion and feelings. The song 'Sunset at Noon' gives the emotional feeling you get when you lose someone thru death. Knowing that their time ended too soon. How do we decide what is fair?".

Elijah Black is one hot Bearish musician who has been real busy of late making some great stuff. Now you might remember seeing Elijah as he was part of the Bear-quintet that made up Bears on the Run... or you might have seen him playing a gig at Bearapalooza. Well lately Elijah has been working with his band and the results are quite phenomenal.

He has recently completed a new video from his April '08 CD 'Better Man' and its from his song 'Smile for Me'. You can see the video here on YouTube (here's Elijah's YouTube page) and from someone who listens to music all day long (that be me), when I heard this song the very thing I did was turn it up. This is just brilliant, and he's got such a voice, such talent. You need to check it out.

Also, there's some voting going on at Logo Online - you get to vote for your favourite video, and yup, Elijah's video is there for you guys to vote for. Check out the other videos if you like (there's a lot of them) but you will have to admit that Mr. Black has a voice that can soothe any hardened heart. He has definitely put a smile on my face.

Also, visit his MySpace page as well as his official (louder than life) site ~ ElijahBlack.com. You can pick up his albums from there and see a bunch more pics and learn a lot more about him.

It was just the other day that we announced that Bigg Nugg announced his new album "Nugget Volume I (website - MySpace page - TubeBear profile). This seriously handsome Bear Cub is showing he has what it takes to be a serious musician. Just check out his MySpace page to hear a really interesting track from his upcoming album.

Here's some news from Nugget himself: "I am getting ready to start looking into venues, promoters, and events in Europe and Australia for my 2009 Nugget World Tour. There will be some very limited USA shows due to the extreme gas prices here. But they are sure to be very intense shows from Bigg Nugg. Stay posted for those possibly in late 2008. We are looking at late spring / summer 2009 for the Nugget European Tour, and the Aussie's Pride season for the Australian Tour. If you know of any venues, booking agents, promoters, sponsors, etc., please message me".

The new album and DVD is now available on pre-sale at GayMusicUSA.com and will be available later this fall through all digital distribution outlets.

Now if you've ever been curious to see a recent picture of cartoonist Bruin (TubeBear profile), creator of Bear With Me, then click here and you'll see him along with a small clan of equally good looking men who make up what is known as the Perfect Harmony Men's Chorus. These 25 gents make up the gay-friendly men's chorus for Madison, the capital of Wisconsin.

PHMC has recently released a CD of their 10th anniversary concert which was held this past summer. On this CD you even get to hear a little solo from Bruin in the arrangement of 'Everything Possible'. Proceeds from the sales of this CD will help finance PHMC's trip to GALA which will be held in Miami in July.
