To help kick off our 2013/14 season and to promote our participation in Litquake’s San Francisco Lit Crawl event later that same evening, the Beards return to Sedge Thomson’s West Coast Live radio program to sing and play. This episode, performed live at the SF Ferry Building and airing on KALW 91.7FM as well as many other stations around the country, will be a Litquake special, and we are excited to share the airwaves with two other amazing Lit Crawl participants:TC BOYLE: the beloved California writer joins us to release the second volume of his collected short stories Collected Stories Vol II.ERIC PUCHNER: the critically acclaimed author of Music Through the Floor brings us his achingly tender and funny portrait of an unraveling family in Model Home.

Fellow Barber Shop
Lit Crawl

The Beards singing in a barber shop? Yep, and one of us might even get a trim. We will be performing at Fellow Barber Shop (F.S.C. Barber – 696 Valencia St, SF) as part of Litquake’s 2013 Lit Crawl, a three phase literary event, much like a pub crawl, that happens at venues all over the city. We plan to mix it up a bit and add splashes of Leonard Cohen’s poetry in with our set. We go on at about 7pm as part of phase two of Lit Crawl.Lit Crawl 2013, spread over more than three hours, will host live readings of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and more in bookstores, bars, art galleries, restaurants, stores, cafés, a bowling alley, and community spaces.Join the Facebook Event Page for this performance.
