Silent Bear is a compelling and original singer-songwriter duo. Mark contributes remarkable songwriting, vocals, guitar, and harmonica, while Kahlil provides sensitive percussion using congas, shakers, cymbals, and bells to add a rich variety of colors and textures to the music. If you enjoy raw, melodic folk-rock reminiscent of early Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Silent Bear is a must-hear. Our high-quality, three-dimensional recording captures the experience of a live performance from the best seat in the house.
