The Barefoot Movement
Advertisement
On Friday, September 11, we’re thrilled to welcome The Barefoot Movement to our stage for the very first time.
Since 2011, progressive acoustic band The Barefoot Movement has been recording and touring internationally, winning the prestigious 2014 International Bluegrass Music Association Momentum Award, and releasing three studio albums as well as a live album, a holiday album, two EP’s, and a covers collection.
Tommy Norris and Noah Wall met in high school in Granville County, North Carolina, where Wall was involved in theater and also played the fiddle. Norris had a rock band, and asked Wall to sing with them. “I said no”, she laughs, “I was just too busy at the time!”. But when Norris later brought a guitar to English class and performed as part of a school project, Wall was immediately taken by his abilities. “I wrote him a seven-page letter begging him to play music with me”, she says. Thus, the original Barefoot Movement was born.
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.
“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.”
