San Francisco's Conspiracy of Beards is 30-man choir from that
performs gritty, original arrangements of the songs of Leonard Cohen.
This a capella group has had a string of acclaimed performances at Bay
Area venues, including the Cafe du Nord, the Great American Music
Hall, and The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The choir has also
been featured on National Public Radio's "West Coast Live," on
KFOG-FM, and on PBS television station KQED-TV.
Transforming Cohen's simple melodies into complex 4- and 5-part
harmonies, the group achieves a sound that is both robust and tender.
One can hear influences of indie rock, jazz, gospel, barbershop,
classical and even doo-wop in the unique arrangements the choir
selects. Using the genius of Cohen's words, the Beards inspire their
audience members to ponder romance, politics, sex, longing and
spirituality, all amid laughter and cheers.
