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.
