SoCal natives Andrew Enos and Matthew Landingham of new BEC Recordings duo Lion & Bear visited Nashville a few weeks ago to share more about their new self-titled EP, a preview of their full length album coming 2021! The four-song EP offers songs of hope and the unending love of Jesus, songs that offer praise along with lamenting, proclaiming the truth that pain is messy and uncomfortable. Their message is clear - if you go to the depths of your humanity, God will be there. Enjoy an acoustic performance of their single, "Held By Your Love," and an interview highlighting the hope they've found in moments of grief and joy.
