Big shout out to the guy behind the guys getting it done. Must not have been easy!

Double rainbows, super soakers, and tepees!!! Not a bad combo if you ask me!

Really nice remix of an old Bob Marley classic. Hearing Sam Keel sing to the strums made me really how similar folk and roots reggae are, and what a song to enjoy on a peaceful summer day!

I have to admit, I was pretty baffled by this. My best guess was too long on the road, resources running dry. Not used to seeing casual smiles with a hungry sign tho. Apparently the two gentleman behind them are having a tough time figuring it out too...

My first time catching Umphrey’s Mcgee! Not sure what planet I’ve been living on, but glad a finally saw them. I was really impressed by their ability to switch from heavy jamming to such smooth, subtle melodies, as show in this vid. Enjoy!

Rather than third wheeling, I creepily took pictures of my buddy and his girlfriend on the way back to the tents. The result: Eerie and Epic!

This beautiful young danced pulled us all closer to the fire, warming our ember souls with her creativity and a smile.

Beats Antique and fire performances go together like peanut butter and jelly!!

For those of you unfamiliar with Beats Antique, the group consists of two drummers, David Satori and Tommy Cappel, who put live percussion to a variety of samples, ranging from Arabian Sitars to Big Band brass.

Zoe Jakes, a world renowned belly dancer, then brings the tunes to life on the stage like a beautiful genie arriving from the bottle. Her mystical moves help lull your mind to sleep to slowly sink into the groove, for what is absoulutel a one of a kind stage of experience.

The Abundance of Art at Camp Barefoot

I often get asked what my favorite festival is. I offer a poetic version of the typical, yet appropriate response: “Each festival soothes or inspires a different part of the soul.” But I will tell you about one of the best Festivals you have never heard of.

Camp Barefoot in Bartow, West Virginia!!!

The average person may here barefoot and West Virginia, and assume im talking about a redneck parade, (no disrespect, that is the perception), but not only will you be amazed by the beautiful landscape, but with the unique community of artists, musicians, and Festy performers is attracts.
