Pearl And The Beard

Pearl and the Beard are bloody excited to announce their very first UK tour THIS NOVEMBER! The tour kicks off in London, where the band will be opening for longtime friends Jukebox the Ghost. Then it’s two headlining shows in London (at a gorgeous old church where the acoustics blew Lauren’s socks off when she saw Bon Iver there) and Manchester; and a return to London, where PatB is excited to be opening for the very talented Amy LaVere.

11.03 Barfly w/Jukebox the Ghost (London, UK) [TIX]

11.04 St Pancras Old Church (London, UK) [TIX]

11.05 The Castle (Manchester, UK) [TIX]

11.07 The Lexington w/Amy LaVere (London, UK) [TIX]

Help us spread the word so the Pearl and the Beard can have many a successful trip across the pond! Re-blog, re-tweet, re-facebook, re-tumbl, email, mass text, skywrite, telegram, announce over your school’s intercom system, post to your office bulletin board – you get the idea. Let’s get excited!

Hey Pittsburgh!

We will be at the Park House (403 East Ohio Street) tonight hanging with the Armadillos.

Free Show! We will play a short acoustic set around 10:30pm tonight. There will be some bluegrass jamming before and after (from 9-12am) so bring an instrument to play if you feel so inclined!

For reasons beyond our control, the Truck America Festival (scheduled for September 9-11) has been cancelled. Sorry to all that were planning to attend. To catch us perform elsewhere, check out our tour dates.

Happy August to you all! Summer is going to be gone before we know it, so we’re heading out on tour this August (into September). We hope to spend the final weeks of summer with you all, so come check us out:

There’s been a slight change of plan for the Wet Hot American Summer date at MHOW. The date of the show, in the first place, has been changed from the 26th of July to August 2, and due to scheduling conflicts Pearl and the Beard will no longer be the house band. But fear not! Jeremy Styles will be present singing guest vocals with The Losers Lounge and in general adding his hilarious (and delicious) flavor to the night.

Hopefully this news doesn’t ruin your whole year/life. It’s still going to be a fantastic, unforgettable evening.

We’re heading to Newport, RI in just under two weeks to perform at the Newport Nightcap, a Newport Folk Festival afterparty! The great people from Kitchen Sessions and Visible Voice are putting on the event, and we’re excited to be performing with our friends Kingsley Flood, as well as Swear and Shake and Vikesh Kapoor. We suggest that you get advance tickets ASAP, because there will only be a limited number of tickets available at the door. Grab your tickets HERE, and we’ll see you in Rhode Island!

Pearl and The Beard will be playing a set at the Moscot Eyeglasses store on Saturday July 9th at 3pm!

If this band loves one thing, it’s awesome glasses.

It’s free and open to the public. So come join us at 3pm for an acoustic set, Lucius goes on at 2pm – get there early to see all the music!
