Touring musicians who have performed at the Beauty Shop include: Poison Control Center, Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles, Christopher the Conquered, Zoe Boekbinder, Dovekins, Dangerous Ponies, Little Teeth, Mumford's, Feathe, Skye Carrasco, Princess Music, Laura Goldhamer & the Silvernail, the Lonelyhearts, Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps, She Swings She Sways, Lipstick Homicide and Netherfriends.

We recently completed a compilation CD, 'The Beauty Shop Presents: Bedrooms and Basements,' featuring original music written, performed and produced by local musicians and funded via a Kickstarter project.

The idea behind the CD was to create a way to showcase the local musical talent, provide a learning opportunity for those who wanted to develop skills as recording engineers, and raise money in order to create more opportunities for community members to develop and share their creative talents.

The CD features Darla Murphy, Gemma Cohen, Miranda Mallard, Adrien Daller, Phil Rabalais, Dom Rabalais, Josie Overmyer, Joey Del Re, Joseph Mayfield, Nate Headrick, Julia Ross, Taylor Ross, David J Murphy, Jimmie Dalton, W. Travis, and more.

We have other videos, and here are some photos.
