Bear Delli Paoli

Blues, Funk, Jam Band, Rock


 
David “Bear” Delli Paoli is a NJ native that moved to Cape Coral in 2002. In 2006 he joined up with The Brother’s Van Kirk and played keys for an all original project called Strange Arrangement. While with Strange Arrangement, Bear had the honor of sharing the stage with and performing for acts like Drowning Pool and KyMani Marley as well as having the Georgia Satellites open for them. After about five years, Bear left Strange and started jamming with Traffic Jam, a local blues/classic rock band with a rotating lineup consisting of many different local musicians. Traffic Jam kept him busy for about six months until he landed with some close friends with the band Ground Zero. Two years later, Ground Zero would disband, with Bear going off to help Lee Hagan found Not Guilty and their countryfied alter-ego, Whiskey Throttle.

In addition to the two full band shows, Lee and Bear combined for the comedic acoustic duo, BearLee Sober. Roughly two years into playing a heavy schedule with these projects, Bear had to step away from actively gigging due to medical issues. After stepping away from performing for almost a year, Bear came back as a full-time member of the local cover band, High Five Friday. The light schedule of the band allowed time and flexibility for Bear to start doing solo acoustic shows as well as take part in a few side projects. He has since left High Five Friday to focus on playing synthesizer in a Pink Floyd tribute band called Pig Floyd. In addition to the Pig Floyd project, Bear is also working on producing original material, including an all original album with collaborations from other local musicians.
