Conspiracy of Beards

Conspiracy of Beards, a 30-member male choir based in San Francisco, California, was founded in 2003 by Daryl Henline and Patrick Kadyk. The group specializes in performing the songs of Leonard Cohen with original arrangements. They gained early traction through local performances and media appearances on outlets like Neighborhood Public Radio's West Coast Live and NPR's Weekend Edition. In 2008, they released their debut album Conspiracy of Beards. The choir performed at notable events such as the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in 2011 and sold-out shows during their 2012 New York tour.
