Posted: Wed May 23, 2012 2:09 am
San Francisco's Conspiracy of Beards is a 30 member male choir that performs gritty, original, a cappella arrangements of the poetic songs of Leonard Cohen. Formed in 2003 through the inspiration of the late performance artist Peter Kadyk, this a capella group has become an integral part of the San Francisco folk scene and is well known for their live performances at popular Bay Area venues.
Transforming Cohen's simple melodies into complex 4- and 5-part harmonies, Conspiracy of Beards achieves a sound that is both robust and tender, with influences of jazz, gospel, indie rock, barbershop, classical and doo-wop through the unique arrangements choir members create. Using the genius of Cohen's words, The Beards inspire audiences to ponder romance, politics, sex, longing and spirituality, all amid laughter and cheers.
