Barefoot Ball

Get your dancing shoes or keep them off for the Barefoot Ball! This year, Chucky Waggs & His Company of Raggs and Ponder the Albatross will be bringing the tunes!
Chucky Waggs is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and recording artist based in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, known for his energetic one-man-band performances using guitar, banjo, dobro, harmonica, and even a makeshift foot-powered drum kit. Rooted in early American blues, folk, country, and bluegrass—alongside punk and rock influences—his music ranges from intimate, often humorous ballads to rowdy, high-energy stomp-alongs, frequently joined by his backing group, the “Company of Raggs.”
Ponder the Albatross is a high-energy band where gypsy punk, jam, and newgrass collide, driven by Josh Bower’s mandolin, guitar, and vocals, Luke Lindholm’s fiery fiddle, Eric Vrtis’ rolling bass, and Nick Bower’s dynamic drumming. Formed in 2015, the group has built its reputation on the road, performing across the U.S. and the Rocky Mountains with electrifying shows that pull audiences into an immersive, participatory experience. Their sound blends upbeat rock and grass influences with a free-spirited, wanderlust-driven ethos, channeling the essence of mountain life and the natural world into music that feels both adventurous and deeply rooted.
