Brant Buckley, the creator of Xmas Pop-Up Bars, is a songwriter, guitarist, author and Berklee College of Music graduate.
"We Love Da Bears" is Brant Buckley's newest original release — an energetic Chicago Bears anthem inspired by the excitement, tradition, and passion of Bears football. Blending driving blues-rock guitars, crowd chants, and a classic 12-bar blues foundation with backward blues-inspired riffs, the song was written to capture the electric atmosphere of game day. Recorded in 432 Hz and engineered by Mickey Cushing at Mystery Street Recording in Chicago, "We Love Da Bears" is designed for tailgates, watch parties, sports bars, and every Bears fan ready to cheer on the Monsters of the Midway.
Already generating enthusiastic feedback from listeners, many have described the song as a true Bears anthem. Brant's goal is to have "We Love Da Bears" become part of the Chicago football tradition, played everywhere from neighborhood tailgates to Soldier Field. The song is available on YouTube and all major streaming platforms. If you're interested in featuring the song, please contact Brant below.
In addition, Brant has over 17 years of experience teaching guitar to students aged 7-84. His lessons focus on real musical application, creativity, and personalized instruction. Specializing in Blues, Folk, Jazz, Pop, and Songwriting, Brant offers engaging online guitar lessons via Zoom for students at any skill level.
Brant is also the author of Chicago Blues History: Preserving The Past, a book dedicated to honoring the greatest Blues musicians. His work celebrates music, storytelling, and cultural heritage - the same passion that drives the creation of Xmas Pop-Up Bars.
