WookieFoot is a high energy magical phenomenon sustained by a beautiful family of players and believers. We are ordinary people supporting each other to do extraordinary things. It’s a joy to have collaborated with sooo many of you kids, and we are proud of the love our tribe is creating. You have nurtured these seeds we planted and we thank you for that. We hope you enjoy the fruits of this community as we are.

Feel like this wouldn't be entertaining at all if the name was not "Wookiefoot".
There's a band in Atlanta called Groove Stain, which is probably the worst name ever, even worse than Wookiefoot. Maybe they can get some ironic love too.

This is def not ironic love from me, just bemused eyeroll. Like, I sorta get the entertainment value of this carnival/bacchanal with 20 people on stage, and snake-dancing women and giant puppets or whatever. But the music is so massively not my thing that I can't even assess it.

Welcome festi-family to another bliss weekend at Harmony Park. This is the most magical fairy forest in all the land !! The Harmony playground is on a lake with giant oak elders providing shade and shelter for the whole campground. This sacred site has been a place for the live music community to gather and befriend one another around campfires and under majestic stars. Shangri-la is our last summer shindig and we come to play with each other one last time before winter….. come play with us !!
The size of Harmony Park allows for individuals to share their magic and make a big impact on the whole…. It was here that Wookiefoot got its first oppurtunity to “Make Believe” with the crowd. The overwhelming joy created sparked a Nationwide tour bringing Fairys, Fire, Drumming,and Prankstering to festivals all over….now with our own event we can now pull off anything and everything imaginable. We’ve had as many as 300 performers…. from Fire rituals, Free healing arts center, Arial dancing, Native American traditional drumming and chanting, A marching band, Alice in wonderland tea party, Parades, Spiral dancing, Labrinth work shop, 3D black light painting station …..and …on…and….on. We are asking you to bring your magic and share your gifts with the family !! The vision of everyone bringing something of personal meaning and value to give to a brother from another mother or a sister from another mister is HIGH HIGH !! What’s your gift ?!??!?…Drumming, dancing, singing, food, message, bubbles, hugs, stones, crystals, jokes, jewelry, fairy wings, stickers, costumes…. whatchu got ?!?!

one time my friends and i went to a best of the twin cities show at first avenue and one of the bands playing was this awful 12 person jam band fire-twirling and acrobatic nightmare named Wookiefoot and as they played a cover of "Scarlet Begonias" my friend mike started loudly and drunkenly bitching about the horror and a hippie near us retaliated by dumping an entire vial of patchouli on jeff and we all had to share a cab ride home in the winter with all the windows rolled up.
and thats what i think about the Greatful Dead.
