SUMMARY:Louise Mosrie Coombe in concert. Kim Mayfield opens
DESCRIPTION:As life happens around us sometimes we have to make adjustments. Our December 4th concert will feature Louise Mosrie Coombe and ACMA member Kim Mayfield will open!\nSuggested door donations $15 members/$20 General public.\nAbout COVID:\nAt this time\, RSVPs are not necessary\, however\, masks are required and vaccinations requested.

Thank you for your cooperation so we can once again gather to enjoy live music in a listening atmosphere!\nCool stuff about Louise:\nLouise Mosrie grew up in McEwen\, TN on a cattle farm – riding horses and writing poetry. She began writing songs after college while working in TV/radio in Knoxville. She moved back to the Nashville area in 2004 and began co-writing with country\, bluegrass and folk artists (Donna Ulisse\, Mike Richardson) and writers. Louise had a major creative breakthrough in 2007 when she had a fortuitous co-writing session with famed Americana producer and writer\, Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle\, Lucinda Williams). They wrote the song\, “Doubling Back”\, for a documentary film by IU professor\, Ron Osgood\, called “My Vietnam\, Your Iraq” which was broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.\nAudience members would tell her that they enjoyed the stories between the songs as much as the songs and her strong expressive voice was described as “…like listening to Patty Griffin and Susan Tedeschi at the same time.” She’s played at The Bluebird Café in Nashville\, Club Passim in Boston\, Caffé Lena in NY and was just recently invited to play at The Birchmere in Washington DC.\nThe new CD\, “Lay It Down”\, was released in late summer/Fall 2014…and landed on several “Best of” lists. Louise is always writing new songs…..\n“Louise Mosrie may well be the brightest young folk-oriented artist to emerge from Nashville in many a year.” – Rich Warren\, WFMT-FM\, The Midnight Special\, Chicago\n\n\nSolarFest performing Songwriting Winner 2016\nFolk Alliance International Official Showcase 2014\nRocky Mtn. Folks Festival Showcase Artist 2012\nFalcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist\n2011 “Voted Most Wanted to Return”\nTelluride Bluegrass Festival Troubadour Contest 2011 runner-up\nWildflower! Festival Performing Songwriter Contest 2010 Winner\nKerrville Folk Festival New Folk Songwriting Competition 2009 and 2020 Winner\nKim Mayfield:\nKim is better known as half of the Americana duo Roy Schneider & Kim Mayfield (now called Reckless Saints). Reviewers have described her music as “pearly and sashaying”\, “pleasantly invoking the legendary Tammy Wynette” “most like Jewell” and ‘haunted by Patsy Cline”. Mayfield’s song “Ring Around the Moon” made he a semi-finalist in the 2019 International Songwriting Competition. Kim is currently at work on a new Reckless Saints project to be followed by her first solo record.\nwww.therecklesssaints.com

SUMMARY:ACMA@Alliance with The Reckless Saints. Java Moon Band opens!
DESCRIPTION:Our ACMA@Alliance Concerts continue!\nPurchase tickets in advance at www.artinlee.org. \n\nWe will be accepting the first 132 people for concert reservations. IF weather threatens the outdoor concert it will be moved to our indoor theatre for general admission seats. If there is no weather threat we will sell additional tickets at the door the day of the concert. For this concert only rain time is 5 PM>.\n\nThe Reckless Saints bring their Blue Twangled Folk and Roll to the Green Market Stage\neckless Saints founder Roy Schneider was 16 and in hiding when a friend loaned him a guitar. He had just broken out of a Straight\, Inc. facility after a horrific year-long incarceration\, where he had been denied the right to play an instrument or even listen to music. Having access to a guitar again – as well as the support of good friends – helped him survive while he waited to turn 18\, and begin his lifelong love affair with making music. Schneider went on to pursue visual arts\, learning how to design toys in 3D\, and writing and drawing syndicated comic strip “The Humble Stumble” through United Media. Ultimately\, his passion for the many flavors of music that define the Americana genre\, combined with his innate ability to play most anything with strings\, led him to give up the ‘day jobs’ for a career in music.\n\nHe was making a living performing in local bars when Roy met Kim Mayfield. She added keyboard\, mandolin\, rhythm guitar\, harmony vocals\, and the idea to take the music on the road. .\n\nReckless Saints\, the CD\, has hovered in the top 50 on Roots Music Reports Americana Country chart since shortly after its release\, and was included in their ‘Best of 2019’ list. The album features production ‘Guidance Counselor’ Gurf Morlix on the lone cover- Blaze Foley’s Election Day. Other guest artists include Freebo (Bonnie Raitt) on bass and Country Music Hall of Famer Charlie McCoy on harmonica.\nwww.therecklesssaints.com\n\nOpening the show will be ACMA members Box and Lucia Cox as Java Moon Band. The Java Moon Band consists of Bob Cox\, Lucia Jenkins\, and Guy Rienzi. Lucia’s songs are folk and funk-fused\, with jazz tinged elements. Guy’s originals cover a wide range of styles from root based rock to blues. Bob anchors the band as bass player and co-singer. The Java Moon Band plays regularly at local Naples venues and their schedule can be found at https://www.facebook.com/javamoonband
