September 7, 2008...Bearfoot Bluegrass
On the Magnolia Patio at Aliso Creek Inn: concert 4 - 6 pm and BBQ 3 – 7 pm. Adults $10 adv. and $12 at the door; children 12 and under $5 adv. and $7 at the door.
Bearfoot, earning one of roots music’s most prestigious awards – Telluride Bluegrass Band Champions – an honor they share with artists like Dixie Chicks and Nickel Creek, is deeply American music. Airy Northern ballads are tempered by back-alley Southern blues, while jazz stomp meets Appalachian breakdown, the whole fused with a signature sexy bluegrass passion. Boasting five distinctive lead voices, this young group from Anchorage Alaska showcases a remarkable breadth of rich, original songs and their arrangements soar with smoky, spacious lyricism.
