Mix a cup of German, Czech & Slovenian style polkas and waltzes, a cup of country, two steps, foxtrots and big band, a dash of latin and line dances, and party favorites to taste. Once it’s to your liking, you’ve got a recipe for a band that’s really cookin’! That’s what you get when you see a live performance featuring Barefoot Becky & the Ivanhoe Dutchmen, a group based out of Mt Vernon, Iowa.The band, featuring Becky Livermore on accordion and vocals, has been performing throughout the United States since 1988. People remember the band best by two things: Becky’s bare feet! She started playing barefoot simply because it was more comfortable than playing with shoes on. People seemed to think it was pretty funny and have really come to expect it. Now the ‘barefoot’ motif is on almost everything they have, like their music stands, posters, and custom made mugs and towels. In addition to performing in ballrooms throughout the US, Barefoot Becky & the Ivanhoe Dutchmen perform in a wide range of venues including: house parties, nightclubs, in tents, for town festivals, RV conventions, and parades. In 1996, they performed for the Smithsonian Institution’s Festival of American Folklife in Washington, D.C.
