Barefoot Caravan Heads North!

As word spreads about our tiny festival, more and more amazing artists are calling us up and asking to join in the fun. Barefoot Caravan is the newest addition to our awesome roster! We're so excited to have them on board! Here's a description from their facebook band page! "Knowledge of the Arts does not belong to one nation of people from which it came, it belongs to us all. Barefoot Caravan, like many people, believes in the power of music in influencing positive change. It is a gateway to knowing ourselves, a window to the soul. This observation of ourselves is why music is so important in the world today. This collective digs into the past to uncover who we are now. They uncover music's buried roots by finding and singing traditional songs from different languages and cultures of the past and present, combining these old melodies with simple music styles that will effectively get the perceived intended messages of the songs across. The Caravan is based in BC's Okanagan. They travel BC wide, playing mostly outdoor settings and festivals, and are led by Angela Roy who teaches drumming and singing in public schools in a wide range of communities. The collective is embarking in an artist in residency tour bringing these songs and teachings to school children, working with socio-cultural and the arts within the school setting. Barefoot Caravan began as a group that played songs for Children, and have since moved into new territory playing music that can be appreciated by people of any age range and nationality. They are a band who truly shares the greater goal of re-connecting us all to the world we live in together."
