The Beard and the Bird: Rockabilly, Western Swing, and the World's Most Joyful Duo. Episode 37

The Beard and the Bird are Jon and Cat, a bi-coastal rockabilly/Western swing duo splitting their time between San Diego and upstate New York. Five songs on Spotify, a YouTube series filming bands in bars across the country, and a brand new single you're going to hear in this episode before anyone else does.We found them the best way possible — Uncle Ben's Remedy shouted them out mid-interview from the floor of a Buffalo record store. In part one, JR plays Gary everything: Ace of Spades, a Star Wars medley, originals, and a song written for a haunted house named Eloise. In part two, Jon and Kat join live to talk about all of it — and debut their new single "Waiting on May" right here, before its release.🔗 Links► The Beard and the Bird: www.thebeardandthebird.com►Their YouTube Channel: @thebeardandthebird► Every band we've featured: https://www.bynhopod.com► Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1zT8HHOprlVgO78X9rjcQB?si=3db9230a4cf44316► Email: [email protected]► Support & merch: https://www.bynhopod.com (click "Support")0:00 - How Uncle Ben's Remedy Led Us Here1:56 - The Band: The Beard and the Bird4:55 - "Ace of Spades" — Their Version7:22 - Band Bio9:05 - Star Wars Medley13:09 - "Dust If You Must"18:06 - "Take the 219"25:48 - "Thankful"32:00 - "My Dearest Eloise"38:28 - Break: Just Waters1:41:36 - PART 2: Jon and Cat Join Live47:21 - Are You Really This Happy?51:54 - San Diego to Buffalo: The Haunted House Story55:30 - "Dust If You Must": Who Does the Cleaning?56:34 - Punk to Rockabilly: The Pipeline2:01:52 - Covers vs. Originals5:17 - The Most Surprising Covers8:16 - Virginia Is on the Map10:45 - Cat's Rules for Playing a Gig14:13 - WORLD PREMIERE: "Waiting on May"17:29 - Back From the New Song18:34 - The Asylum Street Spankers21:33 - The Murder Face & the Gum Rule25:31 - "Traveling Through Live": How It Works30:02 - Rising Tide: Why They Do All of This37:12 - New Album & Physical Media Plans41:52 - Outro49:39 - POST-CREDITS: "To Be Determined" by the Riveting Tidbits
