Jeff Rich (Status Quo, Def Leppard, The Climax Blues Band, Judie Tzuke and many more);

The Barefoot Doctors know and understand how to bring a smile back to a forlorn face, a bounce back to tired feet and manifest a feeling of tranquility to man, woman and dog.

Centuries ago doctors, shamans or healers in the far east would walk barefoot from village to village dispensing healing to those in need.
Today, you can witness the same soulful healing courtesy of the Barefoot Doctors.

Six willing shamans steeped in the art of performing rhythm and blues that will reach all the way down to touch your very soul and lift you to a new awareness of what great music can do for the spirit. The Barefoot Doctors - healing soles since 2010.
