A Weekend in Bartow: Camp Barefoot 7 Review

Thursday, August 22nd was here before I knew it and the Rock Camp Productions crew was en route to Camp Barefoot 7! The drive was worth every minute. We were greeted by smiling faces and the sounds of great music in addition to the incredible mountains that surrounded the entire venue. After going through the motions of getting camp set up and unpacked, we ventured out to explore the venue and catch up with a few friends. 

Thursday held Pink Moon Festival’s own Urth followed by performances from Conspirator and Silo Effect with Brothers Past performing a great late night show. Friday began with a bit of rain but as the day progressed the weather greatly improved! EOTO performed a nothing less than a mind-blowing set that had the whole venue entranced. The Motet followed with the funkiest of funk! This was undoubtedly my favorite performance of the entire weekend and I was clearly not the only person impressed! 

Puff T. Magic-Dragon also had a great time running around the venue and felt so much love from the crowd. Saturday was full of great performances that included a few  that will be playing at Pink Moon this year – The Shack Band, Octopus, Kings of Belmont, Galaxy Dynamite!, and People's Blues of Richmond. I really cannot convey how great Saturday was with so many amazing musicians like Toubab Krewe and Keller Williams to Kyle Hollingsworth and Tiny Boxes

The weekend was filled with good vibes from everyone and from that a euphoric atmosphere encompassed those three days in beautiful, rural West Virginia. Thank you, Camp Barefoot for such a lovely weekend and also a big thanks to the musicians, artists, organizers, volunteers, and attendees for making it all come together!
