Bearfoot is a powerhouse sextet that knows how to dig in and get a crowd bouncing, then brings them back down for some chilled dub-fused island grooves with a blend of social, hip hop and dub reggae, and a dash of the Endless Summer soundtrack thrown in. This show will be a sweat-drenched, high-energy sharing performance with catchy melodies over deep grooves – that’s their speciality.
The crew mix sweet harmonies to support Asher Chapman’s passionate rapid-fire vocals. With dubby guitars, bright horn lines that just won’t quit, bubbling keys and a solid rhythm section full of fat bass and steadfast drums with percussive flare – Bearfoot has a take on Australian roots/reggae music that is completely their own.
Their Hotel Brunswick show begins on Sunday at 4pm with support, Ole Falco.
