Camp Barefoot 4 Music Festival Announcement
We regretfully announce that we are forced to change two bands in our line-up due to unforeseen radius clauses and booking agency misconceptions. Unfortunately, Steve Kimock Crazy Engine and Ekoostik Hookah will have to be replaced for Camp Barefoot 4. Due to our commitment to the fans, we have lined up excellent replacements including the marquee performance by one of the Disco Biscuits side-projects Conspirator. We will also be bringing in a band known for their great live performance.

Live Painting at Camp Barefoot 4
Our Official Camp Barefoot Live Artist
Crazy Red Beard Returns to CB4!
Jon Blake (Crazyredbeard) has been painting live, psychedelic and visionary works at various shows and festivals since 2005. He's had the pleasure of working with bands and musicians from across the continental US and abroad since the first canvas got rocked in Richmond, VA. He creates a unique "dance on canvas" wherein he attempts to convey the immediacy of the zeitgeist through color, movement and imagery.
Described by fans as "Dali and a graffiti artist in a blender" and "Picasso on acid," Blake's improvisational, multi-layered works are designed to honor the Divine unseen nature in and around us all by revealing an idea of immediate interconnectedness. He hopes to spark inspiration for his fellow human beings while simultaneously celebrating life and living through art, music and community.
Live Painter Chapin Mathews
This year, Chapin Mathews, a young professional artist will join the Camp Barefoot 4 Festival to perform live painting through out various musical performances over the weekend. A native to Richmond Virginia, Chapin is a recent graduate of the VCU Arts Craft and Material Studies program where he studied glass and ceramics. He has been aspiring through out his life to seek an inner perspective of physical, mental and spiritual understanding which becomes major inspiration for his artwork. “The experiences we have and surroundings we encounter become a mold of who we all are individually”, Chapin states. “It has been my passion and purpose in the life time to investigate the intangible visions I have and recreate them into works of art that serve as visual and conceptual stimulation towards the viewing world.” Over the past few years, Chapin has begun to bring his creative process out of the studio and into various live musical performances which cultivates an influential vibe for creativity. “Art and music speak as a language to the soul. The collaboration of these two mediums in a live setting can capture a very unique expression of the moment. Inspired by the tranquility of live music, “miracles” or “unexpected” visions are found subconsciously during the creative process. Through out my artist career, I will attempt to capture as many miracles as possible.” Look out for Chapin Mathews enjoying the vibes and performing his creative flow all weekend along the festival grounds. You can contact him at seekcreativespirit@gmail.com or search Chapin Mathews Arts on the waves of Facebook to check out his work.

Humane Society of Pocahontas County, WV this year’s non-profit Partner!
Since its founding in 1998, the Humane Society of Pocahontas County has been instrumental in spaying and neutering hundreds of pets and strays and arranging adoptions of many animals. The rescue efforts of the Humane Society have saved starving horses, lost and abused animals and helped to shut down out of control pet breeding operations (mills). Currently they are in a temporary home supplied by the county; however, they receive no county funds. The Humane Society has private, non-profit tax status and is in the process of applying for grants to help with its work. They primarily rely on generous donations from the community to keep the shelter running. They are hoping to very soon have a shelter of their own. Looking for a pet? You can find the Humane Society on Facebook, http://www.pocahontashumane.org/ or on Petfinder. Even if you don’t live in Pocahontas County, WV you can still volunteer, foster or even adopt a friend in need from a local shelter or just make a simple donation...no amount is too small!
