8th Annual Garden State Beard & 'Stache Competition w/ Lowlight, Coach N' Commando, Old Lady at The Whitechapel Projects on 4/27

Stay Weird. Keep Growing.

For the second year, CoolDad Music will be an official presenter of the Garden State Beard & 'Stache competition. Like our last go-round, we'll be joining forces with The Garden State Beard and Mustache Society and Little Dickman Records to bring you an evening of weirdness, beardness, and great music.

This year's event takes place at the new Whitechapel Projects in Long Branch, NJ on Saturday, April 27th. Attendees will be able to partake of Whitechapel Projects' nano-brews and eclectic menu while enjoying all of the festivities. As usual, there will be competitions in several beard and 'stache-related categories, celebrity judges, and great bands. Once again, the event will be in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

More details will follow in the coming days, but here's what we can tell you now:

Al "Verbal Tease" Verbenko will be our master of ceremonies.



The Pinups for Mental Health Awareness will be on-site to assist with the proceedings and to provide information on making your community safer from suicide and raising awareness for mental health issues.



And, the bands...

We've got three of our favorites on tap for the show!

Coach N' Commando!



Lowlight!



Old Lady! (This one is from our recent "Rock or Die VI" Day Party down in Austin.)



You can RSVP for the event and watch this space for more details as they roll in. Come on out. Bring your friends. It's gonna be a time.
