Pearl and the Beard w/ SarahRose and the Storyville Players live in the Ninth Ward

Tickets: Tickets.com

Phone: 888-223-6000

Pearl and the Beard live in the 9th Ward! If you were at Ani DiFranco's sold out show April 22 you probably saw this talented trio from Brooklyn kick the night off - and you know this is one that you don't want to miss!
If you weren't there here's what Joe Sweeney from the Buffalo News had to say: “A New York City trio called Pearl And The Beard started the show with a set of off-kilter, harmony-laden pop songs. Featuring cello, guitar and percussion, the group was impressively versatile, delivering moody, lurching grooves, delicate shoe-gaze ballads and swinging Andrews Sisters sing-alongs, all with the same level of talent and panache.”

Special guests SarahRose and the Storyville Players open the show

Tickets $8 advance, $10 day of show

Moon Hooch w/ Settlers live in the Ninth Ward

Moon Hooch with Settlers live in the Ninth Ward
Spawned from New York City’s subways in 2010, busking trio Moon Hooch (Wenzl McGowen and Mike Wilbur on Saxophones, James Muschler on Drums) has developed a style of dance music all their own - Cave Music – a blend of house, dubstep, drum & bass, and elements of jazz. Moon Hooch creates frenzied foot-stomping bashes with just two saxophones, drums, and the occasional contrabass clarinet.

Their self-funded debut album, originally self-released and now distributed
by Crowd Control Music, proves that you can do a lot with just three
instruments! The tenor saxophones frequently feud like a roundtable debate
of drunken philosophers, while Muschler’s minimal drum kit screams, “shut up
and dance!”

Tickets: $6 advance / $8 day of show go on sale Friday 3/2 10am at Tickets.com and the Babeville box office (m-f 11a-5p)

Emily Wells live in the Ninth Ward!
Emily Wells has long been turning heads with her unique songcraft. The Performer, producer and songwriter trades in a striking mix of classical instrumentation, folk rawness and hip-hop production anchored by her haunting combination of voice and violin. Her burgeoning reputation owes as much to her hypnotic live show where, working a looping pedal, Wells becomes a one-woman orchestra, playing live drums, guitars, analog synthesizers and beat machines as well.

The BEARDS OF COMEDY Tour is quickly becoming one of the hottest shows in the U.S, with four of the funniest, freshest (and yes, bearded) faces in comedy. Not your typical ‘southern’ comedians, the “Beards” deliver an original brand of humor that’s deeply rooted in stand-up, and lightly blended with avant-garde elements of music, sketch, and improv. The Beards are comprised of; Andy Sandford (voted “Best Atlanta Comedian” by Creative Loafing, CMT’s “Next Big Comic” Top 12 Finalist), Joe Zimmerman (nominated by Rooftop Comedy for the Golden Shingle Award – given to the most outstanding rising star in comedy), TJ Young (winner of multiple festival awards, Comedy Death Ray), and Dave Stone (Rooftopcomedy.com’s 2010 “Silver Nail Award” winner, voice actor for “Squidbillies”).

Phone: 888-223-6000

Langhorne Slim live in the Ninth Ward w/ special guest Rayland Baxter. One of the most endearing and standout qualities of Slim’s live shows is the sureness that one is always entering a genuine gospel-like musical experience full of little miracles. His last studio album, Be Set Free, captured this charisma and spirit - the “hold your heart” moments and “raise a drink” dance vibes shine throughout. Langhorne’s stronger than ever vocals lead the journey blending his poetry through the beautiful chaos and bearing a wisdom that reflects a broken heart battling the perils of true hope.
