Bearfoot brings airy Northern ballads that are tempered by back-alley Southern blues, while jazz stomp meets Appalachian breakdown, and the whole fused with a signature sexy bluegrass passion. Boasting five distinctive lead voices, this young group from Anchorage Alaska showcases a remarkable breadth of rich, original songs and their arrangements soar with smoky, spacious lyricism.
Bluegrass music from Alaska. It may sound like a bit of a non sequitur but Bearfoot, a band from Anchorage, is proving that the two aren’t as unrelated as you might think. Comprised of Kate Hamre (acoustic bass), Mike Mickelson (guitar), Jason Norris (mandolin), Angela Oudean (fiddle), and newest member Odessa Jorgensen (vocals/fiddle), Bearfoot’s rise from über talented music camp counselors to an established national touring band has been nothing short of meteoric.
The original band name was “Bearfoot Bluegrass” but as the band evolved, they dropped “bluegrass” from the name. “We were never really a traditional bluegrass band because there was no one our age who played banjo in Alaska,” says Mickelson with a laugh. Bearfoot has adopted the Americana moniker to describe their music but haven’t left their bluegrass roots behind. “Even if it’s not a bluegrass song, it’s not too hard to see where it all came from,” Norris points out. “You can definitely tell that we play bluegrass by how we structure our phrasing, our instruments, and how our harmonies are set up.”
