Barefoot Jones started as the product of the collaboration of two singer-songwriters and three excellent backing players. Serving up a tasty stew of acoustic Americana folk/rock with flavors of blues, funk, country and pop, Barefoot brings a joyful, high-energy performance geared towards the musical needs of the people. With dazzling originals and luscious covers from John Prine to the Grateful Dead, you will want to kick off your shoes and dance barefoot.
