The Barefoot Movement concert has been cancelled.

Full refunds will be made promptly.

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’s, and a covers collection.  They’ve been a tight knit group of four, with a loyal fan base in the bluegrass world.

“The Barefoot Movement delivers powerful, heart-rending, butt-kickin’ inoculation against lifelessness in any of its forms. I would travel a thousand miles to hear them again and I urge music lovers of all stripes to join me.”
– Chuck Plotkin, producer (Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan)

The Barefoot Movement co-founders and married couple Noah Wall and Tommy Norris explains their concept of the band, “Tommy and I started this band with a vision to be the ‘Fleetwood Mac’ of bluegrass”, explains Wall “in the sense that it would be a true four-piece band with multiple lead singers…I 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’t just about Tommy and I, that wasn’t important.”

But the change turned into a new beginning for Wall and Norris, who are taking the opportunity to step out as the band’s front people, and further explore the possibilities of what The Barefoot Movement could be.  “It feels like the end of that Fleetwood Mac dream, but it has also challenged Tommy and me to get comfortable with sharing ourselves, and all of the different influences that we share both within and outside of Bluegrass.

Historically, the songs we’ve recorded were primarily mine and Tommy’s, but co-arranged by whatever members we had at the time, so that had a big influence on which songs we chose to work up. But now that it’s back to just the two of us, I think we are finally ready to tell our story.”

“They perform barefoot, yes, but what you’ll remember is how the music moved you. Lead singer Noah Wall’s voice can blast you backward as well as pull you in, and the rest of the band has the harmonies and instrumental chops to support that ride.”

Years and many life experiences later, the couple has found themselves right back at their beginnings; exploring the music they can make together as a duo, and with a hired band behind them.  The result is the triumphant “Let It Out”, a collection of original songs penned and performed by Wall and Norris, joined by many friends and guests, including former bandmates Katie Blomarz (bass), Alex Conerly (guitar), and current touring guitarist Ben Howington.
