There are certain songs that just set the soul free, like this fantastic a cappella rendition of Kenny Loggins’ ‘Footloose,’ which will get you dancing in no time. There is something about the song ‘Footloose’ that’s stood the test of time and danced us through the decades. Especially when other singers breathe new life into it.  Jared Halley’s a cappella rendition of Kenny Loggins’ song ‘Footloose’ is precisely that kind of gift, a joyful invitation to let go and dance like no one’s watching. 

Jared’s artistry as a musician shines as he layers 15 distinct vocal tones and rhythms, and he weaves them together in a way that makes the song feel just as alive and upbeat as the original. It’s magic to watch him take one voice and create such richness, depth, and more. It stirs your feet to move before your mind even has a chance to resist. 

But Jared doesn’t stop there–he opens the stage to his fans, his patrons, and his community. In the video, he shares clips of people dancing, laughing, and celebrating their own moments of ‘Footloose’ that are sprinkled throughout the video. The result? So many people are having fun even though they aren’t professional dancers or singers. They just love the spirit of the song. 

Jared’s ‘Footloose’ rendition reminds us to celebrate the small moments we find in the everyday. Even if it means we’re cleaning the dishes, taking out the trash, and heading off to work. His music whispers, “Take a moment to feel the joy. 

So, take a deep breath, press play, and let Jared’s upbeat rendition remind you how good it feels to let loose. Because sometimes, the best thing you can do is throw off the weight of the world, kick off your shoes, and dance into the grace of now.

Psalm 149:3 "Let them praise His name with dancing and make music to Him with tambourine and harp."
