The Brooklyn, NY-based trio Pearl and the Beard are known for infusing a little happiness into their dark and alluring folk songs. They stop by our studio for a live performance of songs from their new album, God Bless Your Weary Soul, Amanda Richardson.

Music that nourishes the soul.
Great new talent, wonderful sound. I look forward to hear much more from Pearl and the Beard.
This is SO MUCH BETTER than that noisy woman you had on yesterday.
I am downloading Pearl and the Beard as we speak!
It's a metaphor, John.... Pearl.... Beard.
My soul is still weary.
Looking at it from a record sales standpoint, or public notoriety.
Item: Michael Jackson's "Thriller" Arguably, zombies and werewolfs (MJ's) character were great inspirations here for the imaging of the song. The video was as integral a part of the song's presentation and marketing that it is impossible to separate from the interpretation of the song.
Very arguably...Zombies win! Hands down. No other track cited today can compare with this song's success or pervasiveness.
Pearl and the Beard are deliciously good. I've never seen anyone rock a cello like Emily can.
