SPIRIT BEAR

ABOUT SPIRIT BEAR

Spirit Bear is a pop-rock duo and labor of love from two close friends and multi-instrumentalists Maechyl Lloyd and Matt McAvoy. What started as a quiet acoustic project in Vermont circa 2011 has blossomed into a full-band experience now spanning the distance between Keene, NH and Philadelphia, PA. Shortly after releasing their debut ‘Brother Earth’ EP in 2011, the boys had some growing up to do and went on hiatus in late 2012.

After their 10+ year silence, Spirit Bear returned with a handful of singles before releasing their sophomore EP ‘Friends’ in late 2023. The band not only learned how to create music together while living in different cities, but also broadened their musical capabilities. Spirit Bear’s ability to traverse different genres while maintaining a signature style has established them as a force to be reckoned with in the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary music.

Spirit Bear is actively writing new music. In the meantime, feel free to check out their current releases, watch a music video, or grab some sick merch.
