AGE of the BEAR (singer-songwriter Anthony Cubbage) began his music career when he withdrew from college in January 2016, and immediately started recording demos, then traveling the country for 2 years, busking in major cities, and exploring United States' national parks, writing and recording among the trees and waters of places like Yosemite, Olympic, Badlands, and Yellowstone National Parks.

Through this process of relearning who he was, much of the self-reflection and transformation - the questions that we ask ourselves every day, our insecurities, and our doubts - came through in his writing.

In AGE of the BEAR's debut album "Rivers," he seeks to answer a lot of those questions, or at least bring some of those thoughts to rest. With songs written from 2014 to 2019, the album covers a lot of ground in Cubbage's life, and the personal obstacles that he, and many others face every day.
