About The Barefoot Movement:
Since 2011, progressive acoustic band The Barefoot Movement has been recording and touring internationally, winning the 2014 IBMA momentum award, and releasing multiple albums. Tommy Norris and Noah Wall met in high school in Granville County, North Carolina, where the original barefoot movement was born… and the band was catalyzed through their years together at East TN State University’s Bluegrass, Old Time, Roots Music Program!
Their new album also sees the band’s songwriting turn inward, revealing more vulnerable aspects of the couple’s relationship. There often comes a time when one has to choose to either bend or break, to find a new path, or to give up. “There’s a lot of songs on this record that I didn’t feel ready to share before,” says Wall, “but I think we’re finally ready now to let ‘em out.” Let It Out is the name of their recent album.
Newly touring!
