About Me

Unfortunately we are stuck in Eastern Europe at the moment working out or passport details and may never be coming back. Please see the below video for details on how you can help....

"So this music is damn good, why the hell are you playing on the street?"- E.Olsen of the New York Times "Because we're real musicians, we play music to play music for the sake of it whether or not people are watching or if we're on a stage...what else would we be doing?"-Shawn Kyle Beauville @ SXSW 2007

the Beauvilles have had the pleasure of sharing shows with Alejandro Escovedo, Castanets, Centromatic, Okkervil River, Diamond Nights, Electric Six, the Porcupine Tree, Lazarus, th'Legendary Shack Shakers and many many more.

The Beauvilles record with John Wesley and Mark Prator at Red Room Recorders in Historic Ybor City and you should too.
