Boy & Bear, an Australian group, burst onto the music scene in the early 2010s, charming audiences with their heartfelt indie folk-rock tunes, akin to Fleet Foxes and Mumford & Sons. Their debut album, Moonfire, released in 2011, went platinum in Australia, setting the stage for two more chart-topping albums and global tours.

Originally it was the solo project of singer-songwriter Dave Hosking, later Boy & Bear expanded to include guitarist Killian Gavin, bassist Jake Tarasenko, and brothers Tim (drums) and Jon Hart (mandolin, keyboards). Their debut EP, “With Emperor Antarctica,” led to a record deal with Island Records.

Their album Harlequin Dream, released in 2013, also went platinum in Australia, solidifying their status as a household name. Despite lineup changes over the years, including Dave Symes replacing Tarasenko on bass, the band continued to thrive.

In 2023, Boy & Bear released their fifth album, aptly named Boy & Bear, blending their signature folk-pop style with electronic elements, showcasing their evolution as musicians.
