On the whole, the seven members of the Good Foot, who have converged on Kansas City from Midwestern states such as Nebraska and Iowa, are laid-back. At rehearsals, members casually straggle in. Collectively, they emit a self-effacing sense of humor. And they're taking their recent success with a similar insouciance. Founded in July 2008, the Kansas City-based soul cover band already attracts a significant following to regular gigs throughout the city. Crowds that were at first small gatherings of supportive friends and family now include a passel of anonymous faces. "People find out about it, and they want to tell their friends," says keyboard player and backup singer Adam Wagner. Wagner attributes the band's popularity to the scarcity of Motown cover bands. "A lot of musicians want to do original stuff," he says. (The same can also be said for the Good Foot; members say they plan to compose original soul songs in the coming year.) Motown music, Wagner argues, has a built-in universal appeal. "Anybody who grew up with an oldies station in the area kind of, like, knows what we're doing," he says.
