All the worries and frustrations of the
world melt away as this charming, acoustic
band takes listeners back to a simpler place
and time. Whether seeking emotional bal-
lads or rip-roaring barn-burners, the audi-
ence can expect a collection of music that
offers something for everyone.
The talented young players of The
Barefoot Movement, with an ear for all
things musical, found their niche by creat-
ing their own brand of bluegrass. With two
full-length albums, an EP of traditional
music, several cross-country tours and
appearances at some of the top bluegrass
festivals in the United States already under
their belt, the possibilities for this act are
endless.
Crowding around a single microphone,
their show is as fun to watch as it is to hear.
The smiles on the faces of the band are
obvious displays of the joy and excitement
they feel when performing and the audience
shares in the fun.
With an apparent aversion to shoes, The
Barefoot Movement plays with a style that
invites the audiences to sit back, relax, take
their shoes off and stay a while.
Reserved seating tickets cost $25 each
and are available at Bandon Mercantile
(541-347-4341), at the door or visit
BandonShowcase.org. A no-host wine bar
by Edgewater’s and special treats by
Coastal Mist will be offered at the show.
Major sponsor of the 2015-16 Bandon
Showcase season is the Mr. and Mrs. Michael
L. Keiser Fund of the Oregon Community
Foundation, with grant funding provided by
the Oregon Arts Commission.
