Growl Bear released their new album “Tales of Finger Lakes, Western New York & Beyond” on May 22. This folk, Americana, country album explores family, regional identity, and culture of western New York.

The album is a refreshing take on Americana and folk music, and it allows you to experience the flaws alongside the beauty of Western New York. With Tales of the Finger Lakes, Western New York & Beyond, Growl Bear has crafted an album that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant for listeners alike.
