Hungry Bears! Duo are Rob Williams and Derek Wood. They met when Rob joined '80 Degrees', an originals only band formed by Derek in 2007. The band existed purely to create new music and, as such, provided the opportunity to hone their songwriting skills, a facet of their musical careers that continues today.

Hungry Bears! Duo started in December 2010 and has to date performed over 800 gigs! 

When time allows, Rob appears with Devon-based band 'Filthy Gorgeous' and can list bands such as 'Joey The Lips' amongst many that he's featured in. His virtuosic and multi-styled guitar playing contributes enormously to the trade-mark Hungry Bears! sound.

Derek provides versatile vocals and an 'energy-charged' acoustic guitar style that is the engine room of the Hungry Bears! Duo.

Equally, when Derek is not appearing with Hungry Bears!, he performs a solo set consisting of well-known, but less often played covers, together with some self-penned songs. He has established himself as a solo act in numerous venues in Devon and Cornwall.

Their 'slimmed-down' line-up and ambitious sound is demonstrated in their choice of complex, interesting and demanding songs that comprise their repertoire, avoiding the 'pub song book'!

Theirs is most certainly not the 'safe route'!
