Pearl and The Beard Take On Will Smith, Brooklyn and My Heart.

If I were stranded on a desert island and could only take one band with me, it would be Pearl and the Beard. They are fun and energetic and just fucking awesome:

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 have nested, and their unique brand of brightly melodic songcraft continues to blossom of its own accord.

You can check these cats out TUESDAY, JULY 26th at The Music Hall of Williamsburg, 8PM.

Be there or Bea Arthur.
