Since 2011, progressive acoustic band The Barefoot Movement has been recording and touring internationally, winning the 2014 IBMA momentum award, and releasing three studio albums as well as a live album, a holiday album, two EP’s, and a covers collection. They’ve been a tight knit group of four, with a loyal fan base in the bluegrass world. But when the pandemic brought their momentum to a halt, the four piece ensemble began to fragment, with bandmates moving in different directions during the forced hiatus. The Barefoot Movement co-founders and married couple Noah Wall and Tommy Norris found themselves facing a decision in regards to the band; to call it quits, or to bring it through a renaissance and find a new way forward. The change turned into a new beginning for Wall and Norris, who are taking the opportunity to step out as the band’s front people, and further explore the possibilities of what The Barefoot Movement could be.
