Bearfoot is a fast rising, young acoustic bluegrass band based out of Anchorage, Alaska featuring powerful, emotive vocals, touching arrangements and instrumental excellence backed up by solid rhythm. Likened to groups such as Nickel Creek in their fresh approach to bluegrass and acoustic music, their repertoire ranges from three-part harmonies evoking the high-lonesome sound of Bill Monroe, to original tunes, to bluesy covers of songs by Bonnie Raitt and Aretha Franklin. Bearfoot has performed at the International Bluegrass Music Association Festival where they were showcased, Wintergrass Festival, Rockygrass Festival, and at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. It was at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival that Bearfoot won the 2001 Band Competition, an honor they share with past recipients Nickel Creek (1995) and the Dixie Chicks (1991).
