Pearl and the Beard’s show at Music Hall of Williamsburg is currently being featured on the front page of The Deli Magazine’s website.  Alternatively, you can get directly to the article here.  You don’t have to take our word for it…Deli says “If you haven’t been to a Pearl & the Beard  show yet, make this the night.  You’re bound to return for more music,  more soul, more energy and more love.”  This is definitely the show to attend — it’s an Extended Single Release Show, celebrating the release of “Prodigal Daughter” as a single, plus a brand new music video and three never-before-heard solo numbers, one from each band member.  Hope to see you there!

Happy happy Casey Shea Day!  Casey’s new album In Your Head is now officially available for download on iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody, Spotify, and Amazon…and, of course, as a download, CD, and badass CLEAR VINYL at the Family Records Store.
As a special release day treat, Casey himself has written a great piece for The Vinyl District, excerpted below:

Now I had a lot of catching up to do, and it was amazing. After years of  ipod playlists, skipping tracks on CDs, and only hearing things I  thought I wanted to hear, I was forced to listen to a side of a record  at a time. And then, when that was finished, I’d have to stand up, walk  over to the player, and drop the needle on the other side. It’s a great  and amazingly interactive experience. On top of that, there is the  sound. No sample rates for your mind to fill in the gaps, just infinite  sound waves – it is real music. The crackles and pops are an added  bonus.

You can read the whole thing right here.
Enjoy, and let us know what you think!
-Emma
PS - Casey & band will be playing a very special album release show this Saturday, 11/5 at Rockwood in NYC.  Details here.
