Quarto Valley Records’ artist Richard T Bear boasts a career that spans more than 40 years, one that led to a string of solo albums and collaborations with numerous music icons. In 1978, he signed with RCA Records and released his debut album, Red, Hot, and Blue, produced by Jack Richardson (Bob Seger, The Guess Who) that featured Les Dudek, Billy Squier, Paul Shaffer, and The Brecker Brothers. The album spawned the single “Sunshine Hotel.” A remix of the song reached the top five on the world dance charts before becoming the dance staple that it remains today. A second album followed titled, “Bear” that included a rendition of The Rolling Stones’ classic, “Ruby Tuesday” and Captured Alive, a concert recorded in Hamburg, Germany. In 1984, he moved to Teldec Records, which led to the release of “The Bear Truth,” and the Giorgio Moroder produced album “The Runner.” In 2021, T Bear released his first studio album in 25 years, “Fresh Bear Tracks,” chock full of blues/rock and soulful tracks featuring special appearances by Stephen Stills, Robby Krieger, Edgar Winter, Walter Trout, Laurence Juber (Wings), Denny Seiwell (Wings), Tony Braunagel, Tom Scott, Lenny Castro, and more. His latest album, “The Way of the World,” co-produced by Tony Braunagel & Laurence Juber, was released in early 2024, and is garnering critical acclaim in Europe as well as the U.S. The bonus track, “Red Harvest,” featured a duet with Bad Company’s Paul Rodgers. Richard T Bear has appeared on many recordings including Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Southern Cross," The Blues Brothers Soundtrack, Richie Havens’ “Mixed Bag II,” Kiss members Gene Simmons and Peter Criss' solo ventures, as well as Toby Beau’s hit single “My Angel Baby,” Billy Squier’s solo debut Tale of the Tape, and former Rascals Gene Cornish and Dino Danelli. He also penned the song "Love and Pain,” one of the standout tracks on Cher's blockbuster album “Take Me Home.” T Bear has shared the stage with artists such as Richie Havens, Odetta, The Doobie Brothers, and Jeff Beck, to name a few.
