Hungry… This is perhaps the most accurate way to describe the culmination of musicians that manifests in the form of Barefoot Fred. Through constant self challenge, Barefoot Fred continues to push the limits of songwriting and live performance. With a dedication to quality, consistency, and an elevated passion for music, the band allows itself to take on various musical forms and explore the space that can open up new doors of expression.
Fate alone brought six seasoned musicians together to form Barefoot Fred in 2008. Though each had honed his craft through gigs in and around Chicago, the combination made the whole even greater than the sum of its parts. It is through their unique interplay that Barefoot Fred comes alive. With an obligation to constant growth and improvement, Barefoot Fred’s sound is not limited to any specific musical style. Although rooted in the pure American concept of improvisation, their music is structured in such a way that specific ideas and themes can be drawn from each song. Though they have crafted a sound all their own, one can hear the seamless fusion of rock, funk, bluegrass, reggae, jazz, country, and blues combined with world influences throughout their consistently growing catalogue of music.
Barefoot Fred has quickly made a significant impact on their growing and loyal fan base. From their very first gig they have proven that they are a musical force to be reckoned with; while their more recent gigs have demonstrated that each show will be better than the last. Barefoot Fred brings a significant following of fans to each show and always leaves with more fans than they brought. Worship the Sun, their first LP, will be a reflection of the musical themes, concepts, and dedication that Barefoot Fred insists upon delivering to its fans. “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” - Lao Tzu (as compiled from the bands website).
