The Barefoot Kings are an up-vibe fun band creating soul-shake-able tunes drawing
upon infectious grooves from the roots-rock-and-roll of your backyard to the reggae-ska-soca-soukous-and-roll
from around the world.
Celebrating life with their own form of “music therapy” every chance they get, the
band’s songs and the high-powered energy of their live show are meticulously designed
to pick you up out of the gutters of life’s great bowling lane and ceremoniously
transport you to the paradisiacal climes of your true inner fiesta child, baby.
"It's impossible not to be swept up in the carefree nature of this fresh-sounding
slate of tunes. A signature style? Diversity is the key - the guys deftly weave together
threads of rock, folk, and roots. Inject a touch of reggae, and you come close to
pinpointing their unmistakable sound." - Red Deer Express.
”Barefoot Bob” Cook leads the band and is an affable singer-songwriter-guitarist-lead
vocalist-producer who has written over 500 songs and recorded eight albums of original
music, ranging from his humble, folksy beginnings through the current incarnation
of his band (formerly know as “Bob Cook & the Mucho Nada Party” and “Bob Cook & The
UnHerd-of”).
“Super 
Dave” Farhall on the bass and backing vocals is an incredibly gifted and melodic
player with an uncanny ability create deep pockets of space out of thin air. He
has also played with Lovertine/The Wowzers, Aroots Bazaar, The DB Buxton Revue, and
many others.
Jeremy Seatter and Pascal Lecours currently take turns sitting high and mighty occupying
the royal drum throne and both are amazing players, providing incredible grooves,
energy, and spontaneity into the broad repertoire of styles that The Barefoot Kings
perform in their shows.
Based in Edmonton, Canada - but facing south during winters - The Barefoot Kings
have performed at numerous festivals and venues across Western Canada (please see
“Shows” for performances) and look forward to befriending your inner fiesta child
with their intoxicating, salt-rimmed concoction of musical revelry!
