Barefoot Wade

Artist Information

Biography

Ive been playing music for most of my life but I've been performing professionally for 11 years now. I've never had a record label or a full time booking agent, But I've still managed to book about 200 gigs each year up and down the east coast and the Caribbean. Ive also released 2 albums independently. I'm kind of a "Hippie Beach Bum", so I do play a lot of beach bars and festivals. But I'm definitely no stranger to college crowds and spring break tours.

I'm fully capable of headlining a 3 to 4 hour show but I also make for a very effective opening act. Entertaining a crowd comes naturally to me and I always manage let the audience feel like they are as much part of the show as I am.

Ive opened up for a diverse number of national acts including David Allen Coe, The Band of Oz, Molly Hatchet and several of the bigger jam bands including Ekoostic Hookah, Lotus, DJ Williams Project and the side bands of String Cheese Incident and Disco Biscuits.

I'm still in my 20s so I like to play and travel as much as possible.

P.S. I'm not uploading all my play dates on here. Check here for that http://www.barefootwade.com

Setlist

I don't generally write a set list, I just play to the mood of the crowd. I have about 40 original songs and over 200 cover tunes from several different genres memorized. My original songs don't stick to one particular genre either, but over all, I have an Island Jam sound with a little Folk and Blues. A One-Man-Caribbean-Jam-Band if you will.....
