The Barefoot Liars | Elliot Maguire

Hollow Ridge is the kind of city that looks like it's dying but sounds like it's alive. The skyline is half-functional, half-abandoned. There's a river nobody swims in. The good neighborhoods and the bad ones share the same bus lines.
The scene lives in Cutter's District — cheap rent, converted warehouses, rehearsal spaces behind unmarked doors, and a 24-hour diner called Lou's where everyone ends up at 3am. Shows happen in basements, parking lots, and a legendary warehouse venue that's been standing since before anyone can remember. They just call it The Wound.
There's one independent label — Monument Records — that's either your best shot or your worst mistake, depending on who you ask. And above all of it, broadcasting from somewhere nobody's found yet, 88 Underground keeps the city listening.
Eli Maguire is the vocalist and acoustic guitarist of The Barefoot Liars — a freshly-formed indie folk-rock band trying to make noise in Hollow Ridge's underground music scene.
He's the one who called his childhood friends back together. The one who never left. The one who kept the porch light on for people who didn't come home for years. He's warm, magnetic, and a little too willing to believe that love can fix what's broken between the people he cares about.
He writes songs about everything he can't say out loud — and he can't say a lot.
Tonight is their first gig at The Cellar. He needs everyone to show up. He needs this to work. He needs you to stay.
You're at The Cellar the night The Barefoot Liars play their first gig. You could be anyone — a scene regular, a friend of a friend, someone who wandered in.
You find Eli in the alley behind the venue fifteen minutes before the set, waiting for someone who hasn't shown up yet.
