Barefoot Truth + Taylor Carson April 7, 2012

In the small New England town of Mystic, Connecticut, lives Barefoot Truth, an independent band that is quietly creating history. You may have never seen them on MTV, nor heard them on a Top 40 FM radio station, but with 5.5 million spins on Pandora, Barefoot Truth has quickly become a symbol of independent music success, and just may be 'the biggest band you've never heard of'. Mixing the sounds of folk, rock, jazz, and reggae, with lyrics full of unbridled optimism, the band has crafted a sound that is distinctly Barefoot Truth. Their 2010 studio album 'Threads', Barefoot Truth reached #21 on the iTunes Rock Charts, momentarily stepping ahead of bands such as Dave Matthews Band and The Fray. The new disc was noted as "The best independently released album of 2010" by ThisIsModern. Barefoot Truth happily credits Pandora Radio for their crucial role in growing the band's silent army of listeners.

Since taking the band 'full-time' in 2007, Barefoot Truth has earned spotlight attention on many levels, including an invitation to play at President Obama's pre-debate rally in New York, where they performed between Bruce Hornsby and Crosby and Nash. They were asked to lend several songs from their new album 'Threads' to the upcoming 'Nature Propelled' film, in addition to scoring original music for the film. The band has also made appearances at major festivals such as Summerfest, 10,000 Lakes Festival, and FloydFest, in addition to tallying over 100 college and prepschool performances in the Northeast. Fans of Barefoot Truth can be confident that the quiet success of this small band will grow increasingly louder, one listener at a time...

Taylor Carson, revered songsmith and noted relationship philosopher, has finally gone back to his roots with his new record, Standing Alone. True to the title, these tracks feature Taylor singing alone with his acoustic guitar, painting memories in brilliant hues with his conversational vocals and melodic musicianship. We asked Taylor Carson "Who are you?" and he responded with this: "What can I tell you about me? I am a singer and a songwriter and I write from the heart. My most recent release tells stories of fear and of happiness and my search for more of both." With all this solo acoustic performing these days, people may be wondering "when do I get to dance?" Worry not your dancing heart -- Taylor Carson is still bringing the thump with his bandmates for shows in the Washington, DC and New York City areas. Yes, it is worth the trip from Philadelphia or Hartford or Cleveland -- just don't forget your dancing shoes.
