Bearfoot September 12, 2009

Powerful, emotive vocals, instrumental excellence and touching arrangements backed by solid rhythm have given the up-and coming Bluegrass group, Bearfoot, a name the world over. Bearfoot’s fresh approach to bluegrass and acoustic music ranges from remarkable three-part harmonies to original songs and bluesy covers of contemporary tunes that are both beautiful and haunting while remaining energetic and uplifting. Boasting five strong vocalists, twin fiddles, fast-picking mandolin, guitar and upright bass, their sound has earned them one of roots music’s most prestigious awards at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, an honor they share with artists such as the Dixie Chicks and Nickel Creek. Bearfoot’s exuberant stage presence elicits an appeal that bridges generations. Don’t miss these rising stars that represent the past, present and future of bluegrass music.
