San Francisco’s Conspiracy of Beards is a 30 member male choir that performs dynamic, original, a cappella arrangements of the poetic songs of Leonard Cohen.

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.

We are excited to share the stage with Mamie Minch & Her Business! Mamie is a young old-school blues guitarist and crooner with some serious low-down pipes who sounds like she’s been storing her original songs inside her National steel guitar for decades. She’s joined by Dean Sharenow on drums and Nate Landau on bass.

This show is part of a Conspiracy of Beards Memorial Day weekend New York Tour with shows in both Manhattan and Brooklyn.
