“What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” ~Waldo Emerson

Elevator Operator(formerly known as Waking Bear) was founded in 2018 by songwriters Noah Bears R. and Ivy Jordanne, each additional member strolling through the magical mystery elevator doors into our band family in divine timing: Daniel, Scotty and Doug. We come from diverse musical backgrounds and this indie rock collaboration reflects our eclectic styles coming together as one harmonious blend of tunes. From our hearts to yours, we hope you enjoy our songs as much as we love playing them!

Smokie

Roaming the neighborhood and hanging out with any family that feeds him

Yeah, I was puppy in pic, but I’m almost 5 years old now! I’m pretty much Lady Bug’s big brother (see next bio). She tries to lick face the time and follows me everywhere. My dad, Noah, even called lady bug my mini-me. So annoying! Anyway, I love to fetch balls and play tug-of-war. Other pretty much about eating and snuggling.

Lady Bug

Playing, Eating, Sleeping, Pooping

I don’t really know this band. I don’t even play instrument. But it pretty fucking cute and the ladies seem to love me.

Poe & Fin

Pretty much ruling the roost and doing whatever we want

I’m Poe. Finn’s my little cousin, he’s in spirit world already. We still play together. I’m a super loving cat, but I can’t help hunting all night and sleeping most of day. It’s just my nature. It’s what I do. I’m cool, because on soul level, even the birds, mice, rabbits and squirrels that catch.
