Bearcat DUO
The Bearcat Duo (Robin Fischer and Rowan McCallister) like to play old songs with a young attitude. Equally at home busking on a street corner, playing for a square dance, or on stage at a Bluegrass festival, The Bearcat Duo energize audiences with a mix of rippin' old time fiddle tunes, rags, and songs with the sassiest lyrics they can dig up. Robin and Rowan met as fill-in musicians at a bluegrass show in 2012 and having been making music together ever since. Robin Fischer plays fiddle, while Rowan McCallister switches between guitar and clawhammer banjo. They both sing. The Bearcat Duo have been making a name for themselves with high-energy sets, quality musicianship, and powerful drive.
Some of the places the Bearcat Duo has performed include the Freight and Salvage, the Los Angeles Old Time Social, "Bluegrass Mondays" at Amnesia, and hold down a monthly residency at Cato's Alehouse in Oakland.

Bearcat Stringband
The Bearcat Stringband like to play Bluegrass and Old Time music with an old sound and a young attitude. The quartet has been making a name for themselves in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2013, perfecting the balance between keeping true to the musical traditions we all love, and throwing a rocking on-stage party.
The Bearcat Stringband features Rowan McCallister (mandolin, and clawhammer banjo), Robin Fischer (fiddle), Allegra Thompson (bass), and Julay Brooks (guitar). You can expect tasty harmony singing, hard hitting fiddle tunes, and a foot-stompin' good time. Some of the most memorable places the Bearcat Stringband has played include the CBA Father's Day Festival in Grass Valley - Vern's Stage, the Freight & Salvage, Amnesia's Bluegrass Monday, Ashkenaz, and The Starry Plough. They will be playing at the Berkeley Old Time Music Convention this coming September.
