Ursa Major

At least 5 bands are using the name "Ursa Major". 1) Mined out of the clay of Pennsylvania, USA, Ursa Major began playing music in the year 2008 AD with nothing but a mandolin, a 6-string picker and a bloody banjo, with lonesome hearts set on bluegrass music and the sound of the common folk. Since that time the music has evolved, but the feeling remains the same. Now based out of Pittsburgh and armed with electric guitars, foot-stompin’ drums, bass attuned to the the Eternal Groove, and the same old bloody banjo, Ursa Major has evolved into an energetic swing of folk and doo-wop soulfulness.
