Hello, and thanks for stopping by! I am a thirty-two year old singer/song writer living in McHenry Illinois. My primary genre is contemporary, American folk. I pride myself on creating introspective songs, with transitory lyrics and breathing melodies. The songs here are little more than me, my beloved dreadnought and a few cheap harmonicas to boot. These songs are poetic and full of American voice, drawn from the deepest and most secret of my fishing holes here in Illinois. In my music you will always find a humble, charming voice, albeit a bit naive, singing just to lift you up or simply sit and share a moment of each other's time and space. My voice will crack you up, give you chills, possibly make you sick, and sometimes cry in your milk. My influences include; Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Gillian Welch, Johnny Cash, Donovan, Steve Goodman, John Fogerty, Grant Lee Phillips (Virginia Creeper), Willie Nelson, Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, Jim Croce, Townes Van Zandt and many, many more. If you are interested in me or my songs, drop a line and let me know. Compliments never hurt and well thought/meaning criticism is always welcome here at Barefoot Records. Please enjoy the the performance! The Barefoot Bard. a.k.a. Greg Nelson.
