Barefoot Nina

Barefoot Nina was born from a Celtic band* who wanted to play more often than the demand for that sort of music would allow. We happily found that our instrumentation (fiddle, flute/whistle, guitar, bass, cajon, and keyboard) allowed us to carve out our niche doing music that we love and that our audiences seem to love as well. Thus, the idea for our band name was hatched. NINA is an acronym, used mostly in the mid-19th century, which stood for No Irish Need Apply. Considering the response we often got from local venues when we tried to get them to book our Celtic band (something akin to “Move along, we don’t like your kind here”), this seemed appropriate. The “Barefoot” part of the name came from the fact that a several of our band members prefer being shoeless as often as possible.
