NELLIES IN THE NEWS

In the Press

"With a sound that's something of a cross between Loretta Lynn and Flatt & Scruggs, the Nellies' blend of harmony vocals and inspired guitar- and banjo-pickin' is rich enough to churn butter, and recommended by four out of five cowpokes as a cure for the lonesome blues."
-- Eric K. Arnold, East Bay Express

"Monday nights just wouldn’t be complete without the Barefoot Nellies.... The Nellies serve up a mix of classic honky tonk, Texas fiddling and swing just in time to get over the mid-week hump."
-- Christina Troup, San Francisco Examiner

"Kick up your heels and enjoy the irresistible energy of the Bay Area's "all-gal" traditional bluegrass band."
--Paul Freeman, Palo Alto Daily News

"O Shoes, Where Art Thou?: Barefoot Nellies 'ain't your mother's bluegrass band'" by Matt Kramer. Pacific Sun, January 19, 2007.

NELLIES FAQ

Q: Hey, if you gals are called the BAREFOOT Nellies, why are you wearing shoes?

A: It's just a name (and yes, we're named after the song). There are several reasons, actually.

We think it's too gimmicky to go barefoot, just as we're not going to all get our names legally changed to Nellie. That would be like the Donnas all going by Donna and their last initial, or the Spice Girls naming themselves after spices. Oh, wait...
Some of those stage floors are gross. Imagine you'd been spilling beer on your carpet every night for the past four years, then imagine you had never vacuumed or cleaned it. Would you want to walk on it barefoot?
We rely on footwear to even out our wildly disparate heights.
