BAREFOOT YOUNG
After relocating to Boston in late 2019, Barefoot Young have established themselves in the New England indie scene through hooky guitar leads and dancy synth lines under infectious vocal melodies. The core of Barefoot Young consists of Ian Howard and Derek Bolivar who have been writing and performing together for over 15 years.
In 2021, they were joined by Texas transplant Jon Wallis who has provided an energetic spark to live performances and songwriting. In October 2024, the band released their self-produced sophomore LP "Sleep Score" that explores the band's variety of punk to disco influences.
