Presented by Dauphin County Parks & Recreation, in cooperation with SFMS. Their website lists a wide range of Events and Festivals, including the Pipe & Drum Festival and Fort Hunter Day!

A mere two years after their initial meeting as camp counselors, Bearfoot earned one of roots music's most prestigious awards -- Telluride Bluegrass Band Champions -- an honor they share with artists like Dixie Chicks and Nickel Creek.

Bearfoot -- the name slyly nods to the wilds of their native Alaska -- is sophisticated, vital, 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, the group showcases a remarkable breadth of rich, original songs. Their arrangements soar with smoky, spacious lyricism. The rhythmic bounce and precision of their instrumentation is fiery and inventive, with an earthy focus on blend, harmony, and tone.

This is a rare East-Coast appearance for this fiery young band, and they're coming straight from the Philadelphia Folk Festival to us. Don't miss it!
