Old Man's Beard "Dawson Bound"- www.streamingcafe.net

Описание: http://www.streamingcafe.net
Just as a flower needs dirt to grow and any beautiful smile has to have some teeth behind it, Old Man's Beard began as a song writing duo exposing the good, the grand and the horrible. Formed deep in the black heart of coal country that is the Elk Valley of British Columbia, Jesse Clarke and Michael Shaver played to excited audiences shortly after forming in the winter of 2008. Quickly adapting to each others musical sensitivities, the duo's sound evolved into a tasteful blend of reggae, boot-stompin' folk and rock and roll.

After relocating to the interior of BC in late '08, the duo has evolved into a five-piece unit with the addition of Darrin Herting (formerly of Arthur Funkarelli) on bass, Leon Power (Steve Brockley, Herting Verberg Power Trio) on drums and Stephanie Webster's beautiful voice. Well-placed harmonies, toe-tappin' rhythms and streamlined guitar work have become standard for a band that has been able to move crowds of young and old, lovers and enemies, Aussies and Englishmen, damsels, dames and dukes.

After a winter of writing and recording, the band has released its first album, The River and will be touring in support of the disc beginning in late August. Old Man's Beard have had their song 'Dawson Bound' featured on the popular television show Daily Planet. Since mid-July, 'Tofino' has received play on CBC radio's province-wide program, All Points West.
