About Sagebrush & The Little Flowers

The Flowers and Me: Bear Cole's Acoustic Project

I'm Sagebrush & The Little Flowers, Bear Cole's country, folk, soul, and bluegrass persona. A man who has a lot of identity, and a love of music that has put a few miles on his boots.

Strings, Soul, Pines

Roots in Northern Arizona. Acoustic guitars, banjos, and mandolins; soulful melodies and stories about nature, love, and the appeal of a less complicated life. I continue to look at that idea as I add complexity to my own life. Influences include Willie Nelson, Kacey Musgraves, Al Green, The SteelDrivers, and Ben Harper. I like music that has warmth and personality, and songs that are honest enough to admit that the person singing may be part of the problem.

One Musical Career - Multiple Paths

Within 1st Drop Music, I work under multiple artist identities. Sagebrush & The Little Flowers represents one of those identities where I create the acoustic textures, country twists, and soulful grooves an area all their own. The Little Flowers are not additional members waiting for their turn to show off their talents.
