Earlville Opera HouseNashville based quartet “The Barefoot Movement” makes their first appearance at Earlville Opera House. The Americana act features bluegrass instruments, pop based melodies, and toe-tapping energy. Their latest release “Live in LA” was produced by Chuck Plotkin (Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan) and Hank Linderman (Eagles, America).
The untouched performance is as real as it gets–the next best thing to the live show. The record follows two previous full length releases, an EP, and extensive touring that has taken the band to 43 states and even as far away as Africa, where they were guests of the United States Embassy in Burkina Faso.
In 2014, they were named Band of the Year at the Momentum Awards by the International Bluegrass Music Association. Called “one of the most promising bands on the bluegrass scene” by CMT Edge, this show is certainly not to be missed by lovers of acoustic music. July 30 at 8 p.m.

PRESS RELEASE
The Barefoot Movement’s fourth album, “Live In LA” will be released May 13th.  This intimate, candid, and untouched performance was captured last spring at a small music venue in outer Los Angeles.  In the audience that night was producer Chuck Plotkin (Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan) and engineer Hank Linderman (The Eagles, America).  Following the encouragement and direction of these two industry veterans, the band decided to share the show with their current and future fans.  With this collection of several new songs and some previously recorded material, the band boldly displays the sounds exactly as they were performed.  Hank Linderman writes, “There has been no corrective editing, no vocal tuning, no replacement of parts, not even any automation…so enjoy this for the rare treat it is…use your player’s volume control and crank it up!”  Chuck Plotkin adds,”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.”  www.thebarefootmovementofficial.com
