After seven amazing, adventure-filled, mind blowing, memory overloading years, Barefoot Manner will embark on an indefinite period of touring hiatus starting in 2008. After nearly 700 shows, 4 albums, 1 DVD, 5 Mannerlands, 2 Mannerboats, 2 Camp Barefoot Festivals, 6 straight New Year’s Eve Shows, 6 straight Halloween shows, 2 Tour Vans, hundreds of instrument strings and drum sticks, tons of bar food, and a million laughs, the members of Barefoot Manner will spend 2008 and beyond pursuing other artistic endeavors. It is the sincere hope of the band that anyone and everyone who has shared in the musical journey of Barefoot Manner will come out to the final shows of 2007 and celebrate this momentous milestone. Also, the band has just released their latest album, Consonance, which captures the unique sound developed by the group over the years. It will be available on line and at shows for a limited time.
The members of Barefoot Manner, former and present, will never be able to properly express their gratitude to the countless Mannerist friends and family that have shared in this truly special musical journey.
