The swelling of the vast and lonely Ocean teeming with life forms yet unbeknownst, gin, abundance, oysters blossoming with aching beauty to reveal their diamond encrusted hearts, and mermaids. Also, mermaids.
"...Good, honest, sweet and soft... the interplay between the two singers is the highlight of this act's potential." -The Deli Magazine
"Pearl and the Beard’s gentle folk melodies and graceful, cohesive harmonies beg to be listened to in a homey log cabin somewhere. ...Using household items like benches, keys, and a washing machine to create unique organic sounds, the pair... created a four-song set of gorgeous gentle folk melodies, traced by soft entangled vocals. All four tracks are stunning... The pair’s full-length will be eagerly anticipated."-Rebel Spirit Music
"Emerging from that musical wilderness of Brooklyn, NYC, Pearl and the Beard are combing America's past for their inspiration, producing energetic throaty roots music best enjoyed in an intimate live setting." -SPLICETODAY.com
"The Brooklyn band Pearl and the Beard performs percussive, cello-backed folk in
rounds, and in harmony- almost like something you'd hear at a Ren
Festival....Expect to experience mood swings[!]"
-The Boston Globe
"...A soaring, stomping celebration of sound that warms both heart and
toes." -Urban Folk Magazine
"My new favorite band."-Matt Singer
........................................................................................................
"The earthy Brooklyn-based folk duo" (The New Yorker) Pearl and the Beard formed in September of 2007 in that little town which sits quaintly upon the shores of New York. It was kismet that brought its first two members Jocelyn Mackenzie and Jeremy Styles together in a local watering hole, where they vented frustrations with the solo artist scene over some loudmouth soup. After finding they were both insane enough to put all of their eggs into one proverbial basket, they decided to musically elope, abandoning any hopes of living normal, quiet lives waiting for arthritis to course through their once musically-infused bones and dust to collect on their vocal chords.
And so, with food in their pockets and money in their bellies, they sat down to write. Jeremy’s robust guitar chords were peanut butter to Jocelyn’s melodic and lyrical jelly. Their voices climbed and plummeted gracefully side by side and ploughed through the crystal air like cannon balls. Jeff Buckley and Johnny Cash were brought back from the dead and Neko Case served them red wine.
Since then, they have self-produced their first EP “At Home with Pearl and the Beard,” relentlessly booked shows in New York and Great Cities beyond, have added the lovely and talented cellist Emily Hope Price to their marriage (which has matured and honeyed their sound tremendously), and are currently working on recording their first full-length album.
Pearl and the Beard's greatest joy is derived from sharing their unencumbered aural offspring with as many souls as will listen. And so now we pray that you may lend your ears to our songs, and that they bring to you as much delight and satisfaction as creating them has brought to us.
Performing "Vessel". Thanks Dailyn!!
