We’re excited to announce Pearl and the Beard are touring their way down to SxSW. Before they really shoot out there the band is performing in Biddeford (ME) tonight and the local paper had some really nice things to say:

‘Donny and Johnny” tells the tale of Johnny Cash’s house burning down, and it’s a spellbinding union of vocals, guitars, hand clapping, cello and other sounds from the band’s collective imagination. ”Twice Today,” with its soothing cello, gentle glockenspiel and stark outpouring of affection, is a must-hear acoustic ode to love. ”Lost in Singapore,” starring Hope Price’s accordion and bilingual lyrics, is another gem from the band with the odd name and wondrous sound. I didn’t know when I started writing this week’s column that I’d end up with a new favorite band. Funny how that happens. - Portland Press Herald

We usually don’t share random reviews on here, but the kind folks of Time Out New York wrote up this wonderful little quote about our very own Pearl and the Beard and we just had to!

“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

Our very own Pearl and the Beard have established themselves as a rambunctious presence in the NYC scene, with a rapidly growing and highly dedicated audience. They’re now set to conquer new territories with the national release of their debut album “God Bless Your Weary Soul, Amanda Richardson” (10/27), a 15 Day East Coast Tour starting at NYC’s Joe’s Pub, a live appearance on WNYC’s prestigious Soundcheck, a cheeky new video for their Will Smith Cover Medley and an AOL Spinner New Releases feature.

Family Records teamed up with the amazing Brooklyn-based collective Goddamn Cobras to turn the Will Smith Medley concert staple and crowd favorite into an amazing video. It mashes 8 Will Smiths songs together in Pearl and the Beard’s signature melodic folk pop ways, with an added dash of jolly winks not typically found in their original material. A warm day in Williamsburg, 6 different locations, 5 hours of shooting, and lots of happy passers-by. This is easily the most beautiful and exciting video we’ve ever had for a Family artist and we’re proud to present it below. The Cobras are not only wonderful in that video making way, they’re also wonderful folks. We owe all this beauty to them!

Download “Oh, Death!”, the first single off of their album “God Bless Your Weary Soul, Amanda Richardson” below and stream the full album here.

We’re very excited to announce that last week we got together with the Cobras, an amazing artistic video collective based in Brooklyn, to shoot a video for Pearl and the Beard’s Will Smith medley. Cobra member Jackie Snow let me borrow her rad camera/lens for a few minutes and here’s a quick shot from the shoot. More coming, both her shots and a few of mine. — Wesley
