Drake Jensen has been one of the bear community’s favorite musicians since his debut album On My Way to Finding You in 2011. Since then, he has released four additional albums with his newest effort entitled Iconic coming your way in the fall of this year. In advance of the highly anticipated record, he has released the single and video for “Lovers In a Dangerous Time”. The Bruce Cockburn cover resonates now, more than ever before, as political tensions rise in relation to the LGBTQ community, especially throughout North America.
