Bearfoot was a Juno Award-nominated Canadianrock band, founded by Jim Atkinson, Terry Danko, Dwayne Ford, Hugh Brockie and Brian Hilton.[1][2] Initially going by 'Atkinson, Danko and Ford', they changed their name out of practicality and because they didn't want to sound as though they were a law-firm. They released three albums and five singles through Columbia Records.
- Dwayne Ford began his professional music career in the early '70s working with the Nomads. His next group was formed with bassist Terry Danko, guitarists Jim Atkinson and Hugh Brockie, and drummer Brian Hilton. They simply called the collaboration Atkinson, Danko and Ford. It was with the latter that Ford recorded for the first time.

Biography[edit]
The founding members came together as part of Ronnie Hawkins' Rock and Roll Revival and Travelling Medicine Show, first meeting at the Graham Bell Hotel in Brantford, Ontario. Hawkins' group played the upstairs lounge that day while Danko and Atkinson's group, Tin Pan Alley, played downstairs. Hawkins hired the two as part of his group, which Ford, Brockie and Hilton were already part of.
Bearfoot eventually formed in 1969 and left Hawkins to sign with Columbia. They released three albums and five singles through the label. Their first, 1972 album was released under the name 'Atkinson, Danko and Ford (with Brockie and Hilton)'. They were nominated for the 1974 Juno Award for Most Promising Group of the Year, which Bachman-Turner Overdrive would win. Danko and Atkinson left in 1973 to pursue work as musicians in California. The group continued without them, releasing their final album as 'Dwayne Ford and Bearfoot' in 1975. Danko and Atkinson returned to Canada in 1985 and reformed the band for a time with Jerry Baird. The group is now presumably defunct.
