SUMMARY:Brian Smalley in concert! Matt Hannam opens.
DESCRIPTION:We are so excited to welcome Brian Smalley back to our stage at the beginning of our fall/winter “We’re BACK series” ! And equally excited that one of our founding members\,\nMatt Hannam\, will play an opening set.\nWe hope that you will join us in this very special evening at the ACMA.\nSuggested donation.  $18.00\nMasks not required for those fully vaccinated. Please keep in mind that COVID-19 is not gone\, and there are new variants that still threaten our health and welfare. We appreciate everyone taking all necessary precautions to to keep you and your fellow audience members safe..\nwww.briansmalley.com\nhttp://www.reverbnation.com/matthannam\n\n\nHere’s a bit about Brian\n“Brian Smalley is a Florida guitar picker with ten crafty fingers\, a variety of musical styles and multiple personalities” Having played guitar all his life\, Brian has developed some skill on the git-box\, and possessing a creative (and somewhat disturbed) imagination\, he is a master storyteller. Before ‘CHOSEN\,’ he’d recorded six projects. His acoustic novel “ChickensPigs” received the Best Florida Folk CD award from The Florida Times Union in 2013. And thousands have enjoyed the tale of Painter Kellet\, a homeless man in Key West\, from the acoustic novel ‘KEY.’ But now the floodgates have been loosed\, and teaming up with Gatorbone Recording Studio\, Brian and friends give us some real ear-candy with ‘CHOSEN.’ Over the top production value\, musicianship to beat the band\, and a riveting storyline makes this a pleasurable and thrilling listening experience.

SUMMARY:Feed Florida - featuring Elizabeth Lockhart
DESCRIPTION:Feed Florida is a weekly ACMA sponsored event raising money for our local food bank. Each Monday will feature a different musical guest with all proceeds going directly to the Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida.\nHosting the series is ACMA member Kim Mayfield.\nThis week our featured act is Elizabeth Lockhart.\nElizabeth Lockhart was just six years old when her voice brought chills to audiences during solo performances as she delivered gospel music with a rich\, full vocal range. She was selected to open for Reba McEntire at age 12 and chose to study Opera Performance at North Carolina School of the Arts\, reaching the professional staus of opera singer.\nElizabeth spent most of her early career performing and teaching classical music\, theatre and art song literature. But it was when she found folk/roots music that she was inspired to develop her self-taught guitar and writing style. Reminiscent of 60’s folk revival women icons such as Joan Baez\, Judy Collins\, and Joanie Mitchell. Elizabeth Lockhart has the ability to tug at a listener’s heart strings through her haunting melodies\, stories and rich vocals.

SUMMARY:Feed Florida featuring Little Fools
DESCRIPTION:Hosting the series is ACMA member Kim Mayfield.\nThis week our featured act is Little Fools\, AKA John R. Butler & Susan Chastain.\nJohn R. Butler first played music for money during the Johnson administration. The LYNDON Johnson administration. Butler went on to play in a number of bands and as a solo performer throughout high school\, college and later.\nHis songwriting has garnered prizes at the Kerrville (TX) New Folk competition\, the Will McLean Music Festival and the South Florida Folk Festival. One of Butler’s songs was included in the soundtrack of the 2013 feature film \, “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3-D\,” starring absolutely no one you’d recognize.\nThese days Butler airs out his musical mojo alongside Susan Chastain\, erstwhile jazz chanteuse and current belter of ballads\, diva of ditties\, marquessa of melodies.\nVocalist Susan Chastain began performing at the age of 3\, atop her mother’s bar in Oklawaha\, Florida. Leaving the jukebox behind\, she grew up to be a jazz and big band singer for over 30 years\, and still is! She met singer/songwriter/guitarist John R. Butler and he convinced her to swing over to the dark side…old country\, old rock\, old blues\, old soul\, and his (not old) original compositions.
