He started in rock bands in his teens and went through an acoustic period in his early twenties after graduating from Stevens Tech. As a member of Hobo King\, he and friend Ed Bank opened for some well known folk acts of the day. But he decided to pursue a career as a chemical patent specialist and put his songwriting chops on the back burner. This job allowed him to travel the world on business and live in New York City for many years. Musical interests eventually won out and in 2012\, he decided to release a CD of original songs by playing all the instruments and recording it at home. Since then\, he has self-released two more CDs and recently finished his fourth. He spends his winters in Fort Myers and for summers\, he recently relocated to West New York\, NJ. He enjoys being a member of ACMA and is thrilled to be invited to open up for Jann. Look for his new CD\, “Thankful”\, soon available on most musical platforms. \nBill Frey started playing guitar/harmonica and song writing in 1960’s. Influenced by Miles Davis\, Billie Holiday\, Chuck Berry\, Harry Leahey\, Jimmy Smith\, Kenny Burrell\, Bob Dylan\, John Pilla\, Paul Butterfield\, and BB King\, his musical style remains eclectic but blues based. He has recorded and played venues in NYC\, Philadelphia\, up and down the Jersey Shore\, the Hamptons\, Boston and Burlington\, Vermont. His career has included stints with The Floyd Morgan Blues Band\, The Bristol Flames and for the past 30 years leading the Deep Freyed Blues collective. \nMatt Hannam is a covers artist and songwriter who performs as a solo artist and with The Collective. Matt is a former school teacher who has worked in the Telecommunications industry for the past 21 years. He has been a member of the ACMA since the founding year and is a former board member of both the ACMA and Hope by Song.

DESCRIPTION:The ACMA always is happy to have Jon Shain back\, this time in a new location…..The Planetarium at Calusa Nature Center.\n\nHailing from Durham\, NC\, Jon Shain is a veteran singer-songwriter who’s been turning heads for years with his words\, his fiery acoustic guitar work\, and his evolved musical style – combining improvised piedmont blues with bluegrass\, swing\, and ragtime.

Drawing inspiration from Folk-Rock and Country-Rock\, Bob crafted a unique sound influenced by the folk singers of the 60s and the singer-songwriters of the 70s. His writing evolved into what is now known as Americana Music\, a blend of Roots\, Folk\, Country\, Bluegrass\, Blues\, and everything in between.

SUMMARY:Damon Fowler in Concert!  JD Lashley Opens
DESCRIPTION:The ACMA is excited for Damon Fowler’s debut on our stage!\n“Fowler is as expressive a songwriter as he is a singer and instrumentalist. He’s preaching an otherworldly\, Americana-themed gospel from a six-stringed pulpit. He is a roots guitar guru.” -LIVING BLUES\nFlorida’s Gulf Coast has produced a plethora of distinctive musicians\, from the blues of Tampa Red to jazz greats Cannonball and Nat Adderley to former Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts to The Outlaws. Tampa’s Damon Fowler\, a masterful singer\, guitar player and songwriter\, has absorbed the best of and furthered the work of the region’s definitive artists. A hard driving troubadour\, his music is steeped with soul and representative of the many styles that make up the roots of American music. He gained the respect of his peers given his featured slot in Butch Truck’s Freight Train band and his side gig as guitarist in the Dickey Betts Band. Critics have compared Fowler’s guitar work to Johnny Winter and Jeff Beck\, while his slide guitar is reminiscent of the late Duane Allman. Fowler’s 2021 Landslide Records release\, Alafia Moon\, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart\, spent four months in the Top 20\, and was nominated for a BMA in the Blues/Rock category. His follow up record\, Damon Fowler & Friends\, LIve At The Palladium\, garnered strong airplay throughout the United States and Europe. The new release\, BARNYARD SMILE\, featuring 8 new original Fowler compositions plus distinctive covers of Bo Diddley and Jerry Reed tunes\, combines all of the influences that have shaped his distinctive blues career.\nOn the strength of Fowler’s hybrid of roots rock\, blues\, and sacred steel\, the Florida native started wowing audiences with his musical exploits as a teenager\, building a reputation as one of the hottest young players on the scene. Adding songwriting and vocal skills to his repertoire over the years has brought him many accolades\, with music journalists extolling his originality and maturity as well as his technical guitar expertise. Allmusic.com raved that “Fowler’s creative lap steel work is what sets him apart from the rest of the guitar heroes.”\n\n\n\nACMA member JD Lashley provides the perfect opener. If singer songwriter/ troubadour Todd Snider had dropped his kid brother on his head\, he’d have probably wound up a lot like JD Lashley. JD works hard and writes harder\, trying to pluck jokes and rhymes out of the grind. His style is heavily influenced by Americana and Roots music\, and he’s not afraid to sneak in a little Hip Hop… Something for everyone.\nTickets for this show are available at the door.\nDoor donations:$15/Members$20/General Admission\nThe doors to the ACMA listening room open at 6:30 PM and the show begins at 7:00 PM

SUMMARY:Ben Prestage in Concert! Nick and Kathy Bernardi Open
DESCRIPTION:Growing up in rural Florida near the headwaters of the Everglades in gator and panther territory helped shape Prestage’s spanish-moss-covered sound\, but he had music in his blood before birth.\nBen’s maternal great-grandmother was the leader of an all-girls band (at a time when that was unheard-of) that toured the popular vaudeville circuit and performed with one of the most famous and highest paid stars of the 1920’s- Al Jolson. Her daughter was an accomplished boogie-woogie piano player.\nOn his father’s side\, Ben’s grandfather played Blues and Country guitar in a Mississippi string band\, when he wasn’t sharecropping cotton and sweet potatoes or cutting timber.\nPrestage cut his teeth performing in Florida fish camps\, biker bars and tourist traps. After a stint as busker/street performer on historic Beale Street in Memphis\, TN Ben emerged as one of world’s top one-man-bands.\nBen’s own brand of Deep South Swamp Music has been featured at some of the world’s premier Blues\, Jazz\, Americana\, and Folk festivals. Armed with self-crafted instruments made from roasting pans\, alligator heads\, and even a closet door Prestage creates a unique sound that has earned him numerous awards and nominations. After releasing a dozen albums\, and touring across the US and more than a dozen countries\, Ben Prestage continues to create music that “soars like a swamp hawk and wallows like an old bull gator.”\nFind some tunes and more here:benprestage.com\nOpening the show will be our talented friends\, the Bernardis! The duo of Kathy and Nick Bernardi started out as a couple over 50 years ago. Many years after moving to Southwest Florida\, they got the notion to try out some open MICs\, and found out he could play\, and she could sing\, and that it was fun. And so\, the adventure began.\nFlorida offered them many other opportunities\, including the Guitar Army in Punta Gorda\, the Barberville Folk Festivals in Pierson\, and The Farm stage in Brooksville. It is here they found their music family. The Bernardis offer an eclectic blend of Americana and contemporary music. Some of them are obscure songs written by well-known artists.\nDoor Donations:Members/$15General Admission/$20\nTickets are available at the door.\nACMA Listening Room doors open at 6:30 pm and concert begins at 7:00 pm

SUMMARY:RB Stone in Concert!  Gareth Rockliffe Opens
DESCRIPTION:“A bluesman who has been there and done that. This guy has been down all sorts of gravel roads\, often face-first.” – Blues Revue\n\nRB Stone is not who you think he is.

He’s been called a Blues Cowboy\, Country Bluesman\, Americana Artist and Roots Rocker\, and he answers yes to all.\nAs a teen\, RB left home and joined a 90-man rail gang traveling the Midwest before settling down into blue collar trade work that found him itching for adventure. At 23\, he left Ohio with only a truck\, some harps\, and a guitar and headed to Colorado to work as a cowboy. RB found lodging in a barn on an Indian Reservation in Ignacio where he learned horses by day and taught himself guitar at night.

As an independent musician\, he has 18 albums under his belt\, has toured 32 countries and five continents\, and sold over 40\,000 albums at his shows and festivals across the world. He has a song catalog with Gwen Gordy of the Motown Dynasty at EMI.

His songs are often deeply personal\, but with a universal heartfelt appeal. Gareth is the creator of the award-winning short-film series called Contemplations\, which blend his images and spoken words to explore themes such as love\, loss\, awareness\, and connection. In recent years\, that same reflective voice has found its way into his songwriting.\nTickets for the show are available at the door.\nDoor donations:ACMA Members/ $15General Admission / $20

SUMMARY:Songs of the Folk in Concert! Dennis Michael Opens
DESCRIPTION:A.T. and Lauren Cason were born in different parts of the Carolinas and met while studying music in college in the early 2000’s—they have been singing and playing together ever since.

SUMMARY:Pierce Pettis in Concert! Pete Benson Opens
DESCRIPTION:After a lifetime of crafting finely-wrought\, heart-touching songs\, singer-songwriter Pierce Pettis feels that he’s finally found his comfort zone. “The biggest change\,” he says of this point in his career “has been getting over myself and realizing this is a job and a craft. And the purpose is not fame and fortune (whatever that is) but simply doing good work.”\nIn his own words\, “My sisters all played piano and other instruments. In school\, I met other kids who wanted to be rock stars\, just like me. From the time we were around 10 or so up through high school\, we put together various bands — all of them horrible.”\nHis “horrible” bands didn’t deter him though and even though he had a nagging feeling (“I thought I was supposed to be a doctor or something.”) he persevered\, not only playing music but writing songs in a mix of rock\, folk\, country and R&B genres that landed him an unpaid position as a staff writer for Muscle Shoals Sounds Studios.

I Started with American Folk and Blues tunes and finger- style guitar. Had a run in with a Classic Rock band for 6 years or so and I sure was glad when that ended. I spent 15 years playing in nursing homes doing standards from the 30’s and 40’s. Now I mostly write. You will see a bit of all the above in my songs. I hope you like. ” \nTake a listen to Bill at https://billmetts.bandcamp.com

SUMMARY:ACMA @ The Alliance presents: An intimate evening with Hank Woji & Roy Schneider
DESCRIPTION:Step into the living room for a different kind of concert.\nTwo veteran singer-songwriters invite you into their world—sharing stories\, influences\, and the music that shaped their lives. Hank Woji and Roy Schneider blend conversation and performance\, taking you behind the songs and into the creative process.\nDrawing from artists like The Grateful Dead\, Bob Dylan\, Neil Young\, and The Beatles\, they’ll perform selections that influenced them—alongside their own original songs that reflect those inspirations.\nExpect shared vocals\, traded verses\, and a rare\, behind-the-scenes look at how great songs leave their mark.\nThis isn’t a typical concert—it’s a curated\, story-driven experience with the feel of a living room and the heart of a songwriter’s circle.\nDoors: 6:30/Show 7:00Tickets at    https://allianceforthearts.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/acma-presents-the-songwriters-living-room\n$18 ACMA/Alliance members/$20 general public.\nHere’s a bit more about the musicians.\nA self-described “Jersey Shore Ex-Pat turned West Texas Desert Rat\,” Hank Woji cut his musical teeth as a bassist in the vibrant Asbury Park\, NJ music scene of the 1980s & 90s. In March of 2001 Hank moved to Houston\, TX and found his new musical voice as an Americana Singer Songwriter. But destiny turned a page and it was his chance move\, in 2009\, to the far West Texas desert town of Terlingua that has most reshaped his life and his music.\nCritics have described Hank’s music as “acoustic-wielding\, sharply observed\, Americana all the way” and being “in the best tradition of the Texas troubadours like Guy Clarke\, Townes Van Zandt and Butch Hancock” and that “His troubadour style also comes very close to the style of Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger\, or as we heard on ‘Nebraska’ from Bruce Springsteen.”\nOf his recently released 6th CD\, Tony Award winning songwriter\, Anaïs Mitchell says: “Highways\, Gamblers\, Devils and Dreams is a sprawling meditation on mythic American themes. Hank is a warm-hearted and precise troubadour of the old school.” The CD debuted in September 2023 at #5 on the Euro Americana chart and #3 on the U.S. FAI Folk Music chart\, and his recording of “Terlingua Blues” was listed on Texas Monthly’s “Going To Big Bend Ultimate Playlist” in January of that year.\nOver his 25+ year songwriter career\, Hank has performed with such notable artists as: Jonathan Byrd\, Spook Handy\, Jaimee Harris\, Joe Jenks\, Bob Livingston\, Grant Peeples\, Sarah Lee Guthrie\, David Amram\, Butch Hancock\, Jimmie Dale Gilmore\, and Pete Seeger.\nHank tours nationally\, performing regularly at festivals\, coffeehouses\, theaters\, clubs and house concerts as a solo singer songwriter\, in various duo and trio configurations\, and with his full TexAmericana Jam Band – The Hank Woji Conspiracy.www.hankwoji.com\nRoy SchneiderReckless Saints founder Roy Schneider was 16 and in hiding when he began making music in earnest. He had just escaped a yearlong incarceration at a controversial facility for troubled teens called Straight\, Inc. where\, among many other things\, he had been denied the right to play his guitar\, listen to or even talk about music. The saintly woman who sheltered Roy after his escape (one of the original ‘Reckless Saints’) loaned him her son’s* guitar\, which he played obsessively\, teaching himself countless songs by Bob Dylan\, the Grateful Dead and The Beatles.\nA decade on\, Schneider had married\, divorced\, become a single father\, worked as a Happy Meal toy designer\,and for 3 years wrote and drew the syndicated single-dad comic strip The Humble Stumble (United Media). All the while he played covers in bars several nights per week. His passion for musical expression eventually drew his focus from the visual arts to writing more original music and finding an audience for it. Roy’s songs have thrice made him a Kerrville New Folk finalist and provided opportunities to make musical connections with dozens of artists. In the ‘Most Unexpected Gig Ever’ category is his 10-month prep and ‘blind audition’ for Season 5 of The Voice\, where he got no chairs but did get to perform on national television slinging his beloved and well-worn Martin OM-28. He’s opened for and/or accompanied John McEuen\, Charlie McCoy\, Joe Craven\, Malcolm Holcombe\, Verlon Thompson\, Freebo\, Buddy Mondlock… and Tom Paxton\, who\, after a short tour with Roy as his right-hand-man\, called him “one of those horrible people who seemingly can play anything they pick up and play it beautifully.”\nwww.recklesssaints.com

Lee (Alan) Edwards has been making music for 30 years. But his new music represents a rebirth of sorts. Produced by Alan Lee Edwards and mixed by the legendary John Wood (the man behind the boards for Nick Drake\, Fairport Convention\, John Cale\, Squeeze\, and Richard and Linda Thompson)\, Interpreting Heart Sounds Vol. I is a major milestone in a career that has already spawned 5 albums—3 under the aegis of “Lou Ford” and two under the handle of “The Loudermilks.”\nRecorded at the famed Echo Mountain Recording Studios in Asheville\, North Carolina\, it was engineered by Kenny Harrington\, mixed and mastered by the team at Well Made Music in Bristol\, TN\, and pressed locally at Citizen Vinyl in Asheville.\n“A.

SUMMARY:Cliff Eberhardt in Concert w/special guest Louise Mosrie Coombe!
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE May Be in  TEMPORARY CHANGE IN LOCATION WHILE ALL FAITHS IS UNDERGOING RENOVATIONS. \n 3049 McGregor Blvd\, Fort Myers\, FL 33901 \n“Eberhardt is better than ever…\, kicking ass with fresh insight and new ways to lament old yearnings” — Philly Rock Guide “Louise Mosrie Coombe’s voice is a gift from the gods\, and how she uses it is a gift to us” — Christine Lavin \nCliff Eberhardt knew by age 7 that he was going to be a singer and songwriter. Growing up in Berwyn\, Pennsylvania\, he and his brothers sang together and their parents played instruments. His dad introduced him to the guitar and he quickly taught himself to play. Fortunate enough to live close to the Main Point (one of the best folk clubs on the East Coast)\, he cut his teeth listening to the likes of James Taylor\, Joni Mitchell\, Bruce Springsteen\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Muddy Waters\, Bonnie Raitt\, and Mississippi John Hurt — receiving an early and impressive tutorial in acoustic music. At the same time\, he was also listening to great pop songwriters like Cole Porter\, the Gershwins\, and Rodgers and Hart\, which explain his penchant for great melodies and clever lyrical twists. \nNew York was an ideal musician’s boot camp. Though he put in long hours as a taxi driver\, Cliff worked steadily on his music throughout the 80’s\, doing solo gigs and studio work\, and playing guitar on the road with Richie Havens\, Melanie and others. Singing advertising jingles for products like Coke\, Miller Beer and Chevrolet (“The Heartbeat of America” campaign) allowed him to devote more time to his songwriting. \nIn 2011\, Cliff got a phone call from the Folger Theatre and Shakespeare Library in Washington DC. They had been listening to his song\, “That Kind of Love” along with director Aaron Posner and got the brilliant idea to hire Cliff to write original songs for the Shakespeare classic “The Taming of the Shrew”. It would be set in the old West – Deadwood style – and Cliff would be cast as the blind but wise old saloon singer bookending scenes with his poignant songs and guitar phrases. The play was a huge success and won much critical acclaim across town and 7 weeks of solid sold-out shows in the Spring of 2012. \nFind out more:\nhttps://cliffeberhardt.net/ \nJoining Cliff is the fabulous Louise Coombe. Louise started writing songs about the South – what she knew and where she grew up. In 2008\, she began working on a new album eventually to be called “Home” because she’d come full circle in her “voice” as a writer. The album was a mix of bluegrass\, country and folk and as she weaved in lush stories and songs about southern life\, she was even introduced once as “…William Faulkner with a guitar.” \nThe first thing most people remark on is her voice. Louise is a classically trained singer with a big pop voice (and a touch of twang) and an award-winning songwriter. Audiences also love her stories behind the songs and honest polished delivery. \nMore of her story and music:\nhttps://louisecoombe.com/home \nThe ACMA is pleased to end our 2026 season with this exciting show! \nDoor Donations:\nACMA Members – $18\nGeneral Admission – $20 \nTickets are available at the door. \nACMA Listening Room doors open at 6:30 PM and the show begins at 7:00 PM. \n

SUMMARY:The Reckless Saints in Concert\,   Dhruva Opens
DESCRIPTION:This is more than just a concert. This is the kickoff to the ACMA’s 15th year\, featuring one of our favorite local bands\, The Reckless Saints. This year\, we’ll also have a special guest\, Dhruva\, opening the show for them. \nRoy Schneider and Kim Mayfield are the core duo and songwriters of Reckless Saints. Partners in music and love since 2003\, they began recording and touring five years later. “Blue Twangled Folk ‘n’ Roll’ is the answer Roy provided to the question “What kind of music do you play?”  The Fort Myers based duo decided to use his answer as the album title for their new release\, while also adopting the title of their 2018 release ‘Reckless Saints’ as their new band moniker. \nTheir new record\, and the first official Reckless Saints release\, has been years in the making and was greatly influenced by the stress of lockdown. ”’Quarantine Lockdown Blues” was written to the beat of a dripping roof leak in the couple’s back shed/studio.  In the song\, Roy lyricized his fantasy of riding motorcycles with Jorma Kaukonen near his Fur Peace Ranch in Ohio. \nKim’s “Til the Medicine Takes” could have been a song about addiction\, but is actually a cry of despair written before vaccines were on the horizon.  Similarly\, “Can’t Stay Here” is a desperate wish to be somewhere or someone else. \n”Welcome back to the World” kicks off the record with joy and wonder\, Roy recounting his wildly-stimulating bus trip through NYC after escaping the crushing dullness ofhis childhood incarceration\, though it could also read as a triumphant return to normal life after lockdown.  Adding to the song’s Grateful Dead flavor is a guitar solo from David Gans\, longtime host of the syndicated ‘Grateful Dead Hour’ and a friend of the band. \nwww.recklesssaints.com \n Opening the Show is ACMA member dhruva’.  Singer-songwriter dhruva’s folksy\, homestyle  renditions will touch your heart and make you smile and hum along. A seasonal resident of Fort Myers hailing from the hills of Appalachia\, she is a lifelong educator-musician who loves to make music with others.  Over the years\, she has performed with folk\, bluegrass\, Celtic\, acoustic rock and Southern rock groups and sung in choirs with which she toured China and Italy.  She has released nine solo albums including her latest\, “Romping in the Swamplands\,” as well as providing flute\, percussion and harmony vocals in studio sessions for other musicians. Her YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@sallydhruva features many videos of nature songs written for children of all ages.  For more information\, visit https://dhruasongs.wixsite.com/music. \nTickets for the show are available at the door.

SUMMARY:Mare Wakefield and Nomad in Concert\,  Joe Terlizzi Opens
DESCRIPTION:“Mare Wakefield & Nomad remind us of what it means to feel the sweetness in a song and hear the smiles and the tears in shared stories. Skilled in varied musical styles\, they keep an audience engaged and delighted.” ~ Dalis Allen\, Producer Kerrville Folk Festival \n“There are a great many artists that play music and too few that actually make it. Mare Wakefield and Nomad are among the best of the latter. They are honest and straight to the heart.” ~ Craig Huegel\, host “Our Kind of Folk”  \n“Daddy was a seeker\,” says Mare Wakefield. “Eventually he became a Salvationist minister. Mama was a gypsy\, loving nothing more than a long stretch of highway.” \nBorn with wanderlust in her DNA\, Mare lived in eight different places before she was ten. “It was a roller-coaster way to grow up\, but my brother and I learned to fit in fast\,” she says. “We picked up Wisconsin accents in two weeks. Eighteen months later we were drawling like native Texans.” \nFor Turkish-born Nomad\, the journey was equally varied. His musical education began at the exclusive Istanbul Conservatory and continued with a scholarship to Berklee College of Music. Nomad’s gift for musical arrangements includes a full arsenal of classical\, folk and jazz chops. \nVersatility and travel-scapes are evident in their music. Listeners roam through Arizona deserts\, Oklahoma oil fields and Amsterdam canals. Journeys go inward too\, exploring hope\, heartbreak and barroom brawls. Story and song are woven together by Mare’s intimate delivery and Nomad’s exquisite piano and accordion. \nCurrently based in Nashville\, the pair were 2016 and 2015 Kerrville NewFolk finalists and 2015 Falcon Ridge Emerging Artists. \nJoe Terlizzi comes from Jersey City\, NJ and currently resides in West New York\, NJ. He started playing in rock bands in his teens and was part of an acoustic duo called Hobo King in his twenties with his friend Ed Bank.  After graduating from Stevens Tech\, he decided to pursue a career as a chemical patent specialist and put his songwriting chops on the back burner. He moved to New York City and his job responsibilities included traveling the world on business for many years. In 2012\, he decided to release a CD of original songs called Big White Vinyl; since then\, he has self-released three more CDs and is currently finishing his fifth. He spends winters in Fort Myers and enjoys being both a member and volunteer for ACMA. Look for his music\, which is available on most musical platforms\, and his new album. He is thrilled to be invited by ACMA once again to play for you. \nTickets for the show are available at the door. Door donations: \nACMA Members/$15 \nGeneral Admission/$20 \nThe Listening Room doors open at 6:30 pm and the concert begins at 7:00 pm

SUMMARY:Tim Grimm in Concert at ACMA @ The Alliance. Gareth Rockliffe opens
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to be back at The Alliance for The Arts for another year of collaborative concerts:\nDoors: 2;30Tickets. 20/25 at www.artinlee.org or at the door.\n\nKicking off 2027 is Tim Grimm…with Gareth Rockliff opening.For a quarter of a century\, Tim Grimm has been writing songs of stunning – and increasingly rare – quality. He has a way of drawing you in like only the very best writers can\, finding truth in the smallest details and turning those truths into something luminous. Each new recording by Grimm represents a poetic\, intense\, passionate immersion in the heart of America. His songs are authentic\, straight from the heart\, quietly breathtaking. A magnificent songwriter and a storyteller with the ability to connect to audiences in an intimate and natural way\, Grimm is a master craftsman sitting down\, painting a picture\, and giving a master class in how songs can hold both narrative and soul.\nBorn and raised in Indiana\, he has developed a distinct voice shaped by the Midwest. In these days\, Grimm carries the torch of Woody Guthrie’s social conscience\, the refined and authentic storytelling of Townes and Guy Clark\, and the raw intensity of Kris Kristofferson\, David Olney\, and Eric Taylor. His lyrics\, filled with considerable literary weight\, often feel like prose written as poetry.\nAt his side stands guitarist- and mythic cowboy- Sergio Webb\, one of Americana’s most distinctive and electrifying sidemen. Webb can play the electric guitar like a demon—or like an angel\, coaxing out sombre\, cello-like tones that seem to rise from a different world. His style is flamboyant yet deeply intentional; he is a master of his instrument in every sense. Just as effortlessly\, he eases from Folk to Rock\, Classical to Spanish\, Tex-Mex to something entirely his own—and he is a master in each. His versatility is not only impressive\, it’s essential. Webb adds a vital dramatic tension\, a spark\, a texture\, an atmosphere that lifts every song into a new dimension.\nhttps://timgrimm.com/home\n\nOpening for Tim is ACMA member Gareth Rockliffe:Born in Southport\, England\, Gareth Rockliffe is a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music draws from a lifetime of experience\, reflection and creative exploration.\nA storyteller at heart\, Gareth writes deeply personal songs about love\, loss\, memory\, hope and the experiences that shape us. His songwriting is intimate and reflective\, combining thoughtful lyrics with the warm\, expressive sound of nylon-string guitar.\nMusic has always been part of Gareth’s creative life\, alongside a long career as a fine art photographer and filmmaker. In recent years\, songwriting has taken an increasingly important place in that journey\, culminating in Nylon\, an album of original songs built around the simplicity of voice\, words and nylon-string guitar.\nHis songs include The Memory of Pain\, Fields of Vietnam and Love Always Wins\, and his music and songwriting were recently featured on WGCU’s Three Song Stories.\nNow based in Southwest Florida\, Gareth is a member of the Americana Community Music Association and has previously opened for touring artists on the ACMA stage.

SUMMARY:C. Daniel Boling in Concert\, David Bavaria Opens
DESCRIPTION:C. Daniel Boling  \n“New Mexico’s songwriting savant.” – Folk icon Tom Paxton \n“Daniel’s songs are filled with sweet imagery and infallible word craft\, and his live performances bring another dimension of energy and charm.”  – Singer/songwriter Steve Gillette \n“Think of a subtle intertwining of Steve Goodman\, John Prine and Tom Paxton.” – Fred Schmale / Real Roots Café\, Dutch music magazine\n \nWinner of the Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk songwriter contest\, the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival song contest\, and others\, Daniel shares experiences from a life well-lived in three countries and seven States. His friendly tenor and well-crafted story songs delight audiences throughout the U.S. and abroad from house concerts and listening rooms to major festivals – Kerrville\, Winfield\, Woody Guthrie\, and more. Daniel is also one third of the iconic 1960s folk trio The Limeliters. \nBorn to a folksinger mother and an Air Force father\, he was raised on folk music and sang harmonies before he spoke complete sentences. His family lived in several countries\, and later Daniel worked as a National Park Ranger (yes\, the gun-toting kind) and as a Criminal Investigator for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management for 30 years. He started touring full-time at 50\, when most guys are planning their retirement.  \nDaniel’s songs tell interesting stories about a variety of characters\, including himself. He plays guitar and banjo with a deft fingerpicking style that always enhances the stories\, and sometimes plays a bit of harmonica into the bargain. His clear tenor draws positive comparisons to John Denver and Pete Seeger\, and like Pete\, Daniel is happiest when his audience sings too! \nHis 11th solo album since 1999 – IT MATTERS featuring Tom Paxton (Berkalin Records – 2025) – features 16 songs cherry-picked from three times that many Daniel and Tom have co-written since their previous collaboration album in 2023. It was chosen New Mexico Music Awards “Best Album of the Year”. \nLOVE\, DAN (Berkalin Records – 2024) appeared on “Top 10 Albums” lists from folk DJs in England\, The Netherlands and the U.S.A.\, and won New Mexico Music Awards “Best Folk Song” and “Best Children’s Song”. \nNEW OLD FRIENDS (Berkalin Records – 2023) was also entirely co-written by Daniel and legendary folk songwriter Tom Paxton. It reached #4 on folk charts in North America\, #5 in Europe\, and won “Best Album of the Year” in the New Mexico Music Awards. \nThere’s a reason Ozark folk duo Still on the Hill calls him “one of the most talented songwriters on the circuit.” Whether you’ve walked the very same roads\, you can’t help but relate to these songs – and no matter what your story is\, you’re bound to love Daniel’s. \nDavid Bavaria\, spent his adolescence influenced by the rock and folk music of the ’60s and ’70s\, including the Beatles\, CSN\, the Byrds\, and others. After a 35-year hiatus\, he picked up his old guitar again in retirement and hasn’t put it down since. He formed a five-piece cover band\, Night Watchmen\, in Delaware\, where he spends his summers. He spends his winters in Fort Myers\, where he has recently begun writing songs\, entirely inspired by his involvement with the ACMA. \nTickets for the show are available at the door. Door donations: \nACMA Members/$15 \nGeneral Admission/$20 \nThe Listening Room doors open at 6:30 pm and the concert begins at 7:00 pm \n  \n

SUMMARY:Carolin Aiken in Concert\, Hank Woji Opens
DESCRIPTION:CAROLINE AIKEN | BIO \nNamed “The Best Acoustic Act” by Atlanta Magazine in her hometown of Atlanta\, Georgia\, Caroline Aiken has a rich musical history that spans more than five decades. Her career includes recording and performing with Bonnie Raitt and the Indigo Girls\, as well as opening for Arlo Guthrie\, Muddy Waters\, Doc Watson\, Randy Newman\, Little Feat\, 38 Special\, the Beach Boys\, Janis Ian\, and Richie Havens. Caroline has appeared at regional and national festivals\, radio shows\, workshops\, and concert series throughout the United States and abroad. \nHer “sensual voice\, masterful songwriting\, expert guitar” (Victory Music – Seattle) helped anchor the city’s acoustic and folk scene. Along the way\, she influenced and mentored up-and-coming artists\, including the Indigo Girls and Shawn Mullins. \nGeorgia Music Hall of Fame \nIn 2015\, Caroline released her ninth CD\, Broken Wings Heal\, featuring special guests Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls\, John Keane (Grammy-nominated producer and musician)\, Michelle Malone\, Ike Stubblefield (legendary Motown B3 player)\, and Randall Bramblett (Bonnie Raitt\, Steve Winwood\, Allman Brothers). That same year\, she embarked on a national tour opening for the Indigo Girls and continues to tour throughout the United States and Europe. \nCaroline recalls being moved at age 12\, “kicking and screaming\,” from the village of St. Simons Island\, Georgia\, to Long Island\, New York\, clutching a guitar and a book of songs. Her musical journey continued from New York in 1969 to the West Coast in 1971\, South America in 1973\, the Pacific Northwest in 1975\, and throughout the United States\, United Kingdom\, and Europe from 1984 to the present. She calls it the “Perpetual Instructional Path Towards Gratitude” Tour. \n“‘Singer/songwriter’ is an adequate description of Caroline Aiken\, but it doesn’t tell you what you really need to know. It doesn’t even hint at the unseen work\, thought\, vision\, organization\, and management she puts into every performance. It doesn’t tell you that if she brings along a band\, it’s going to be an enthusiastic but disciplined unit that’s committed to the total musical experience. And it doesn’t tell you that Caroline is an Artist with a capital A\, whose seemingly effortless songs form a direct link from one soul to another. During the years I hosted It’s Friday!\, it was my honor to present performances by Caroline at least ten times\, and I never tired of basking in the glow of her work.” \n— Robb Holmes\, UGA Radio Show: It’s Friday! \nHank Woji\, A self-described “Jersey Shore Ex-Pat turned West Texas Desert Rat\,” Hank Woji cut his musical teeth as a bassist in the vibrant Asbury Park\, NJ music scene of the 1980s & 90s. In March of 2001 Hank moved to Houston\, TX and found his new musical voice as an Americana Singer Songwriter. But destiny turned a page and it was his chance move\, in 2009\, to the far West Texas desert town of Terlingua that has most reshaped his life and his music. \nCritics have described Hank’s music as “acoustic-wielding\, sharply observed\, Americana all the way” and being “in the best tradition of the Texas troubadours like Guy Clarke\, Townes Van Zandt and Butch Hancock” and that “His troubadour style also comes very close to the style of Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger\, or as we heard on ‘Nebraska’ from Bruce Springsteen.” \nOf his recently released 6th CD\, Tony Award winning songwriter\, Anaïs Mitchell says: “Highways\, Gamblers\, Devils and Dreams is a sprawling meditation on mythic American themes. Hank is a warm-hearted and precise troubadour of the old school.” The CD debuted in September 2023 at #5 on the Euro Americana chart and #3 on the U.S. FAI Folk Music chart\, and his recording of “Terlingua Blues” was listed on Texas Monthly’s “Going To Big Bend Ultimate Playlist” in January of that year. \nOver his 25+ year songwriter career\, Hank has performed with such notable artists as: Jonathan Byrd\, Spook Handy\, Jaimee Harris\, Joe Jenks\, Bob Livingston\, Grant Peeples\, Sarah Lee Guthrie\, David Amram\, Butch Hancock\, Jimmie Dale Gilmore\, and Pete Seeger. \nHank tours nationally\, performing regularly at festivals\, coffeehouses\, theaters\, clubs and house concerts as a solo singer songwriter\, in various duo and trio configurations\, and with his full TexAmericana Jam Band – The Hank Woji Conspiracy. \nwww.hankwoji.com \nTickets for the show are available at the door. Door donations: \nACMA Members/$15 \nGeneral Admission/$20 \nThe Listening Room doors open at 6:30 pm and the concert begins at 7:00 pm

SUMMARY:Verlon Thompson & Brian Smalley in Concert\, John Craddock opens
DESCRIPTION:You don’t want to miss this show! Two amazing guitar players and songwriters\, Verlon Thompson & Brian Smalley\, will be in the round\, swapping songs\, stories\, and the stories behind the songs. \nSpecial guest John Craddock opens the evening. \nIf you love great guitar playing\, great songs\, and hearing the stories that inspired them\, this is a night you won’t want to miss! \nVerlon Thompson \, Songwriters seem to flourish on the fertile Oklahoma plains. Woody Guthrie\, Roger Miller\, Leon Russell\, J.J. Cale and Jimmy Webb. Add Verlon Thompson to that list. \nThirty years as a professional songwriter and traveling troubadour serve as credentials. As a solo performer\, and as the trusted sidekick of Texas Americana songwriting icon Guy Clark\, Verlon has viewed the world from stages everywhere from Barcelona to Binger (his hometown in Oklahoma). \nAlong the way Verlon Thompson compositions have been recorded by Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson\, Dierks Bentley\, Anne Murray\, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band\, Kenny Rogers\, Randy Travis\, Del McCoury\, Sam Bush\, Trisha Yearwood and many more. \nVerlon has co-produced Guy Clark’s Grammy nominated cd “Cold Dog Soup” as well as “The Dark”\, “Workbench Songs” and “Somedays the Song Writes You”. \nEqually important in his songwriting and live performances\, Verlon’s guitar work cannot go unnoticed. His guitar can be heard on recordings by Restless Heart\, Pam Tillis\, and many more\, including\, and especially Guy Clark. \nVerlon was honored to contribute to the score of the Tamara Saviano documentary “Without Getting Killed or Caught”\, the story of Guy and Susanna Clark and Townes Van Zandt. \nIn 2019 Verlon hosted his own 13 episode TV show called Barnegie Hall. Filmed at his converted barn/home in rural Tennessee\, the show aired nationally on PBS and received rave reviews. \nVerlon Thompson is currently on the road. Or in the studio. Or writing in his barn/house on the river in Tennessee…\n….but never far from the fertile plains of Oklahoma. \nBrian Smalley\, Having played guitar all his life\, Brian Smalley has developed some skill on the git-box\, and possessing a creative (and somewhat disturbed) imagination\, he is a gifted storyteller. In the recording studio\, Brian developed the idea of the ‘Acoustic Novel\,’ where folk opera meets theater of the mind. Live\, on stage\, there are no holds barred. Ambitious guitar arrangements paired with engaging songs makes for a meaningful musical experience. In short: You will laugh\, and you will cry. Smalley will bring his own special and highly original songs\, as well as intensive and unique guitar arrangements of well known tunes\, to create a one-of-a-kind performance. \nJohn Lawrence Craddock is an Americana singer\, songwriter\, and storyteller with a distinctive bluesy style. His music weaves relatable stories with deep\, soulful vocals\, carried by rich and colorful guitar playing that is undeniably his own. Whether you’re drawn to songs that make you laugh or cry\, melodies that invite you to sing along\, or guitar work that impresses even seasoned musicians\, his work has something for everyone. His music is a reflection of sixty years of life experience\, shaped by the legendary multi-genre artists whose timeless influence continues to inspire today. www.JohnLawrenceCraddock.com \nTickets for the show are available at the door. Door donations: \nACMA Members/$20 \nGeneral Admission/$25 \nThe Listening Room doors open at 6:30 pm and the concert begins at 7:00 pm
