Breadfoot
Heartfelt instrumental acoustic flatpicking that combines elements of the two blues, delta and grass, recalling to mind a more primitive John Fahey.

Description
breadfoot hails from the midwest. he likes strong black coffee and favors redwing boots. he's inclined to take his whiskey neat and his eggs are always sunny side up with tobasco.
regarding his music, breadfoot'll go on to tell ya that he is just a flat picker trying to make the right noises at the right time. he says he's often accused of playing delta style, but then he adds, "there are those folks who tell you that my music goes beyond the delta. and recalls to mind the american primative guitar work of the late, great john fahey."
breadfoot live is just as much a soda pop and a game of checkers at the general store, as he is a cold beer on the stoop. a lot of talking. a fair amount of nonsense. and every now and then he might figure to shut up long enough to pick a tune.
lately, breadfoot's been keen on taking his own brand of pickin' over to the uk. On his 2nd trip across the pond this past spring, (check out " april showers bring may...breadfoots ?! " featuring "londons' ladies in londons' ladies' loos " at www.antifolkonline.com , and hey, if you're wondering about his first uk run, take a look at breadfoots' "postcards from the uk", in the old columns section ), he not only found himself kickin' it at some of his favorite haunts, (sargeant buzfuz's blang ! club at the 12 bar, alan tyler's "comedownandmeetthefolks" shindig, resonance 104.4 fm where we did a live radio spot on johny browns' "mining for gold" program, and finally, acoustic night at the barfly). few of the new joints that opened thier doors for breadfoot, (not too smart are they ?), were the windmill in brixton, (where breadfoot got to share the evening with the larry love show band which is the acoustic branch of alabama 3, these are the fellows that do the sopranos opening tune), the hope and anchor in london, and the portland arms in cambridge. breadfoot was also welcomed by the good folks at the gilded palace of sin. did a show with them at the prince albert in brighton, ( it was a wonderful evening of music, had the pleasure of opening for the 2nd evening in a row for richard buckner, the 1st being the night before at the borderline in london ).
back in brooklyn for the summer breadfoot's got a whole lot on his plate. beyond workin' up some tunes for a new studio type recording, (you can get the first one right here from the good folks at www.cdbaby.com), he's figurin' to put together a live cd made up of recordings form his last two trips to the uk, ( you can check one out on the music page at www.breadfoot.com, we gotta warn ya there's a whole lot of bullshittin' before the tune starts, but it's a lovely track and features the amazing miss annna phoebe on the fiddle), breadfoot's also managed to get himself tangled up in a new thang with his good buddy paleface. it's called "just about to burn ". breadfoot has got mostly slide, electric guitar, and six string banjo chores. but tell ya what, rumor has it that he's doing some vocalizin' too. could be that you might expect a "just about to burn " recording by the fall, no promises. we'll just have to keep ya posted.
What some other folks say;
" ... gritty guitar picking and homespunwisdom..."
- London Time Out
"Support act was excellent too - a fellow called Breadfoot; instrumentals on Dobro, kinda like Fahey. Funny guy too...."
- from the Giant Sand message board, 20 may 03
"It's always fun catching a support act, with no expectations at all and as a result being completely and thoroughly entertained. This was indeed the case with the last date of Breadfoot's English tour. The Chalk Farm Enterprise's upstairs venue is a nice place to catch some quality soundz...it has nice ambience, tables, chairs and punters that f*ck off after the first very awful band has finished, (cruel to be kind, innit)...leaving us...the sussed few (ahem) to sit down, take a weight off and imbibe some good ones (eh?). Breadfoot is a young gent from Ohio who plays marvelous countrified instrumentals that call to mind a punkier John Fahey. Gorgeous fluid passages of bluesey guitar that seem as if they were custom-built to soothe the soul and cure all ills. It was a pleasure to be swathed and coddled (?) in wave upon wave of sweet electric blues. BF has a beard that would make ZZ Top fume with envy and he has been adopted by the anti-folk fraternity in NYC. Well done chaps...you made a sweet move.
-Paul Goldstein, Silver Juice
"Breadfoot is the perfect melody that plays in my head. Instrumental music from a spine-tingling dobro. That's all you really need."
-thefeveredbrainofradiomike.com
"All instro folk-pickin' is what breadfoot is all about. Think John Fahey and Leo Kottke and you're heading in the right direction. The guitar work on these 12 songs is the voice and breadfoot knows how to make it say what he wants with a lot of heart and soul, so much so, that you don't even notice or feel the need to hear any vocals. breadfoot is a gem of a disc for folks who love heartfelt acoustic music"
