The Barefoot Man brings Cayman Island Music to Paris Hill

The Barefoot Man brings Cayman Island Music to Paris Hill

Brought to Paris Hill Maine by the Oxford Casino, we are happy to welcome the Barefoot Man.

The Barefoot Man, born George Nowak, is an entertainer and songwriter who performs primarily in the Cayman Islands, specifically on the largest island of Grand Cayman. He has composed about 2,000 songs and has recorded nearly 500 of them. The Barefoot Man has been commonly compared to other island performers and songwriters like Jimmy Buffett. Barefoot's songs are predominantly risqué parody, pun and double entendre put to reggae, calypso and sometimes country or pop beats. The Barefoot Man and Band was featured in the 1993 film, The Firm, starring actors Tom Cruise and Gene Hackman. For this film, George Nowak wrote the song "Money, Money, Money" which appears on the film's soundtrack. The song was performed and recorded by the band that he performed with at the Holiday Inn on Grand Cayman. He currently lives in the village of Breakers on the island of Grand Cayman and still performs for tourists several nights per week.

Chicks with Sticks from Turner Maine will be opening up the evening and playing with the Barefoot Man.

Smokin' Dave's will have food for sale and their will be a cash bar available.

Other sponsors include Baker Newman & Noyes and the Oxford Federal Credit Union.
