was a female fronted band until they’ve found a great male vocalist to complete them.

Today, Barefoot Charlie is comprised of Andy Stedt on lead vocals, Carol Legaspi on keyboards, Jason Martin on drums, Mike Ferri on lead guitars, and Josh Andrews on bass.
The 5 of them hail from bands of different genres, but they all play together in Barefoot Charlie to express their love for rock music, this time with shoes on!
