The Barefoot Movement creates gloriously addictive, instantly memorable tunes shored up by silky-smooth bluegrass and Americana harmonies. Invigorating and infused with a captivating honesty, the group transports audiences to a place of complete joy and total enthrallment. As the News & Observer reported, “They perform barefoot, yes, but what you’ll remember is how the music moved you.” Their most recent release, 2021’s Pressing Onward, (co-produced by Chuck Plotkin who also produced Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. album), finds them exploring new musical territory while still standing firmly on their barefoot foundation: lush harmonies, thoughtful instrumentation, and memorable melodies.
