Two upcoming concerts are unique in that they are being held at places less common for their venues. Unfortunately, they are both being held on the same evening, April 22, then fortunately, they are two different types of music and therefore will probably appeal to many music lovers.

Barefoot to play at Kidd-Key

Three hometown boys have put together a band that, according to fans, could break into the big time any day now. Barefoot will be playing from 7 p.m. until whenever at the Kidd-Key Auditorium in Sherman April 22.

Jason Dering, Matt Fellenbaum, and Clay Jones graduated from Sherman High School in 2000, and have been together ever since, joined by two Richardson musicians, Chris Pearson and Chris Munselle. Together, they belt out a blend of Texas and Southern rock and British pop, many songs of which are their own, having penned four or five dozen songs for their upcoming CD, due for release soon.

Dering plays drums and sings backup vocals, Fellenbaum plays bass guitar, Jones is on lead electric guitar and sings backup vocals, Munsell plays rhythm electric guitar and sings backup, and Pearson is the lead singer, plays rhythm acoustic guitar and keyboards.

Dering said their voices together are a blend of four-part harmonies.

“We went overseas and worked with two Swedish producers in Sweden,” Dering said. “Our management label liked the music (cut there) and told us to stay in Sweden and finish the album. Back in the U.S., we went on tour, opening for Ashlee Simpson and are working on another album right now.”

Special guests at the Barefoot concert will be Friend of Nick, and Matt Porter.

For my own info, what would have been a preferred place to post this in? I have made bigger mistakes in the past and would like not to repeat them!

It depends on what response you want to get. I think if you wanted a specific christian rock reply, you'd post it under religion. But I agree that this is more blog/vanity oriented because no one knows Barefoot.

Now, if you gave an interesting background...as in Barefoot is a semi-christian rock band comprised of former members of Iron Maiden and Pantera then you'd post it in G/C.
