 They later changed their name to Bearfoot as their music evolved to include americana, post-bluegrass, and string instrument based pop.They have generated an impressive array of songs and genres, including (also, the writing of) the Alaskan epic "Fishtrap Joe", based on one of the historical struggles in Alaska (between locals and Seattle fish empires over fish traps) and the finding of an old skeleton near Cordova by two boys, one of which (Mike Mickelson) later became a founding Bearfoot Bluegrass band member.Before there was Bearfoot Bluegrass, most of the starting line-up met at the Alaska Folk Arts Camp in Anchorage, Alaska.
