Gracing the cover of Pearl and the Beard's excellent second album, Killing The Darlings , is a sweater made for three people. While this seems like merely a cute, simple way of pointing out that the band has three members, it is actually a completely definitive representation of the trio. Pearl And The Beard is truly a three-headed monster, with no lead singer and no head songwriter, but instead three unique personalities and people who started as strangers, then collaborated to make incredible music, and to become, as singer and drummer Jocelyn Mackenzie put [...]

Words // Scott Pingeton Six months ago I was counting down the days to another Newport Folk Festival...and our Newport Nightcap afterparty. Putting together a lineup of four fantastic artists, organizing beer sponsorships, ticket sales, lighting/sound, coordinating with a venue ill-equipped for an event of its size and everything else that went into the party (not to mention holding down a demanding day job) was tough. But ultimately so so worth it. The party was a huge success - great music, a HOT, packed, sold-out venue and even a little mention in Billboard [...]
My top 3 albums of 2011 come as a bit of a personal surprise. It seems that I’ve turned from ‘city slicker’ whose lullaby is a police siren to bucolic gal next door who feels nostalgic at the sound of a country drawl and a banjo. 3. Sparrow and the Workshop - Spitting Daggers If you want folk and angst on the same platter then go no further than Sparrow and the Workshop’s stunning second album. A collection that offers joyful peaks and moody troughs plus a sack load [...]
Holiday season is undoubtedly upon us, and we all know what that means... LOTS OF HOLIDAY PARTIES! While some people may have taken offense at the lack of "Christ" in Christmas (see Jon Stewart's take on the phenomenon), others are relishing the all-inclusive festivities, and none more than in the ...

While staying awake may be a necessity its hard to find the news cycle anything but dizzying. Yesterday's disaster again obscured by today's theatre of absurd. As if any of this has been good for the middle class. "Sweetness" from Pearl and the Beard "Oh My Word" from Buffalo Killers [...]
Pearl and the Beard es un trío de folk procedente de la ciudad de Nueva York. Ellos mismos se definen como "tres voces, un cello, una guitarra, un glockenspiel, una melódica, varios tambores, un acordeón, noventa y seis dientes y un alma", aunque esta rara lista de componentes no es tan interesante como su propia música. El grupo acaba de publicar un nuevo disco llamado Killing the Darlings que se puede comprar en distintos formatos a través de la tienda de su discográfica, The Family Records . Pero claro, antes [...]
Described as “three voices, one cello, one guitar, one glockenspiel, one melodica, several drums, one accordion, ninety-six teeth, and one soul,” (let’s add “one sweater” to the list), Pearl and the Beard is a three-piece folk act from New York City. Their latest album, Killing the Darlings , is a showcase of simple melodies which remain deep and moving alongside rich, fascinating harmonies. Their graceful songwriting is yours to behold in our exclusive download of the album track “The Lament of Coronado Brown”. Opening with the lonesome and low pluck of Emily Hope Price’s cello, the [...]
