Barefoot Truth + Jamie Kent September 30, 2011

In the small New England town of Mystic, Connecticut, lives Barefoot Truth, an independent band that is quietly creating history. You may have never seen them on MTV, nor heard them on a Top 40 FM radio station, but with 5.5 million spins on Pandora, Barefoot Truth has quickly become a symbol of independent music success, and just may be 'the biggest band you've never heard of'. Mixing the sounds of folk, rock, jazz, and reggae, with lyrics full of unbridled optimism, the band has crafted a sound that is distinctly Barefoot Truth.

Their 2010 studio album 'Threads', Barefoot Truth reached #21 on the iTunes Rock Charts, momentarily stepping ahead of bands such as Dave Matthews Band and The Fray. The new disc was noted as "The best independently released album of 2010" by ThisIsModern. Barefoot Truth happily credits Pandora Radio for their crucial role in growing the band's silent army of listeners.

Since taking the band 'full-time' in 2007, Barefoot Truth has earned spotlight attention on many levels, including an invitation to play at President Obama's pre-debate rally in New York, where they performed between Bruce Hornsby and Crosby and Nash. They were asked to lend several songs from their new album 'Threads' to the upcoming 'Nature Propelled' film, in addition to scoring original music for the film. The band has also made appearances at major festivals such as Summerfest, 10,000 Lakes Festival, and FloydFest, in addition to tallying over 100 college and prepschool performances in the Northeast. Fans of Barefoot Truth can be confident that the quiet success of this small band will grow increasingly louder, one listener at a time...

"I'm a 24-year-old musician, a passionate environmentalist and a harmless mischief maker.I have been writing music for about six years, and studying voice for about the same. I've proudly played in a Mariachi band, performed in an a capella group, and crooned for a sixteen piece big band. I'm pretty sure that I am a better singer than guitarist.

Neoteny is my debut album and is a true reflection of my personality, song writing, and aspirations. My hope is that the album takes you all on an adventure through the depths of my mind. I try to touch on experiences from my life that I think everyone can relate to and then introduce you to characters that have emerged through my mischievous nature and sometimes strange imagination."
