The Barefoot Movement integrates bluegrass, blues, folk, rock, country and pop into music that\u2019s delightfully fresh. Shows feature original songs and reimagined cover tunes with tight three-part harmonies and hot instrumentals.<\/p>\n
Since 2011, progressive acoustic band The Barefoot Movement has been recording and touring internationally, winning the 2014 IBMA momentum award, and releasing three studio albums as well as a live album, a holiday album, two EP\u2019s, and a covers collection. They\u2019ve been a tight knit group of four, with a loyal fan base in the bluegrass world. But when the pandemic brought their momentum to a halt, the four-piece ensemble began to fragment, with bandmates moving in different directions during the forced hiatus.<\/p>\n
The Barefoot Movement co-founders and married couple Noah Wall and Tommy Norris found themselves facing a decision in regard to the band; to call it quits, or to bring it through a renaissance and find a new way forward. \u201cTommy and I started this band with a vision to be the \u2018Fleetwood Mac\u2019 of bluegrass\u201d, explains Wall \u201cin the sense that it would be a true four-piece band with multiple lead singers\u2026I never talked publicly about Tommy and I being a couple, because I wanted to give every member we recruited their own identity within our band, and it wasn\u2019t just about Tommy and I, that wasn\u2019t important.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
