885 MMMM ~ Most Memorable Bearded Singer Songwriters

The Duke has been known to rock a beard from time to time. More partial to the goatee, soul patch, fu manchu or van dyke – but always with sideburns. In honor of my love of facial hair, here are some bearded singer songwriters, arrange in order of the length of their beards.


Iron & Wine ~ Naked As We Came


The Band ~ Up On Cripple Creek


Tim Seely ~ On Film I Play Myself


Ray LaMontagne ~ Jolene


Gordon Lightfoot ~ The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald


Cat Stevens ~ Don’t Be Shy


Peter Elkas ~ Wall of Fire


Greg Brown ~ Eugene


Kris Kristofferson ~ Thank You

I know I missed some. What’s your most memorable bearded singer songwriter? Leave a hullabaloo.
