Interview with Richard T. Bear

He played on “American Bandstand” and saw his song covered by Cher, his ivories can be heard in “The Blues Brothers” and on Gene Simmons and Peter Criss’ solo offerings, he performed and wrote together with Stephen Stills – and then, he disappeared, and the world forgot about Richard Gerstein, also known as Richard T. Bear, and a string of top-notch solo records he’d cut back in the ’70s and ’80s. Yet he emerged anew, re-energized, in 2021 with the robust new album “Fresh Bear Tracks” – accompanied by friends like Edgar Winter and Robby Krieger – which was followed by the brilliant "The Way Of The World" in 2024. And the veteran didn’t stop at strictly studio work: he went on the road with Walter Trout – that’s where this conversation found him.
