Long Beard is the lush indie rock project of Leslie Bear, who makes elegantly crafted lo-fi songs that will slowly and swirly set your mellow mind adrift on memory bliss.

The New Brunswick, NJ band released their debut full-length album Sleepwalker a little while back (via Team Love) and you should listen to it ASAP if you like listening to good records that are real growers. If you don't like listening to good records that are real growers, perhaps it's not for you.

Long Beard has played shows with LVL UP, Mitski, Vagabon, Japanese Breakfast, Ian Sweet, Screaming Females, Mal Devisa, Pinegrove and too many more good bands to mention here (I got shows to list) but if you like any of those good bands I just mentioned, you will like this one too.

Long Beard is a good band.

The Players:

Leslie Bear - guitar/vocals
