Aaron Bear

The Sundown Sessions hosted by Aaron Bear are a live music residency at The Rhinestone Room in Bridgton, ME. The focus is on collaborative musical performances that highlight featured musicians alongside performances by New England musician Aaron Bear. Audiences will enjoy a set of music by both acts, as well as moments of collaboration and improvisation between musicians in the garden each night. About Aaron Bear: Growing up in an Appalachian coal town in Pennsylvania, Aaron Bear developed a deep spiritual connection to nature and a resilient artistic vision shaped by his tumultuous upbringing. His decade-long nomadic journey, performing on stages across the U.S., India, Nepal, Egypt, and Jordan, enriched his artistry with diverse cultural influences. Now settled in Maine, Bear has become a pillar in the New England music scene, creating spaces where creativity and community thrive. His captivating performances and dedication to his craft reflect a powerful narrative of resilience and connection. About Shaush: Shaush is the beautiful chaos you didn’t know you needed. A sonic collision of explosive emotion and laid-back groove, Shaush rides the line between a backyard jam session and a full-blown revolution. Imagine Rage Against the Machine hooking up with Jack Johnson and somehow raising Mac Miller—that’s the energy. Shaush is the ever-evolving experiment of New England’s Aaron Bear and whatever musical mischief-makers decide to join him on any given night. Sometimes it’s a tight four-piece, sometimes it’s more. But it’s always raw, alive, and full of heart. There may be a surprise set from another Sundown Session artist.
