This is one of those super bands that hooks you right from the first song. Based in Anchorage, Alaska Bearfoot plays bluegrass with a twist. You get all the sweet three-part harmonies and hard-driving twin fiddles with moments of exhuberant jazz and vintage Americana mixed into the traditional sounds of bluegrass. The five young members of Bearfoot were cast into national prominence when they won the 2001 Telluride band contest, an acheivement shared by Nickel Creek and the Dixie Chicks. A very well-received mainstage appearance at the 2007 Grey Fox Festival introduced them to regional fans.
