Pearl and the Beard

What We Say: Pearl and the Beard is three voices, one cello, one guitar, one glockenspiel, one melodica, several drums, one accordion, ninety-six teeth, and one soul. Former strangers Jocelyn Mackenzie, Emily Hope Price, and Jeremy Styles were united in the great city of New York. Each had migrated there from a far corner of the nation with naught but food in their pockets and money in their bellies. Each had the same true love. Since then the three nested, and their unique brand of brightly melodic song craft continues to blossom of its own accord. Pearl and the Beard loves you the way you’ve always been.

What Others Say:

“Sweet, gentle and scrumptious, the music of Brooklyn trio Pearl and the Beard conjures up lazy summer afternoons at just the time we need that kind of thing most. The group consists of just three souls—Jocelyn Mackenzie, Emily Hope Price and Jeremy Styles—but its sophisticated vocal harmonies and crafty arrangements make a big impression on the combo’s recently issued debut CD, God Bless Your Weary Soul, Amanda Richardson.” - Time Out New York

“Pearl and the Beard is modern folk at its most graceful. Sans pretense and fresh with tangled harmonies… their simple lyrics are lifted with airy, soul-turning melodies yet reasoned by earthy sounds. It’s unique and exceptional.” - The Soho Journal

“…shades of Gothic troubadour Will Oldham” - The Washington Post

“…Good, honest, sweet and soft… the interplay between the singers is the highlight of this act’s potential.” - The Deli Magazine

“Quirky Brooklyn folk trio Pearl and the Beard… is a breath of fresh air in New York’s cluttered music scene, and they’re well on their way to success” - BreakThru Radio

“Pearl and the Beard’s gentle folk melodies and graceful, cohesive harmonies beg to be listened to.” – Alyssa Rashbaum (Spin, Vibe, Rebel Spirit, etc.)
