SUMMARY:ACMA Songwriters at the Plaza
DESCRIPTION:ACMA Songwriters at the Plaza\nThe Lee County Library has joined with The ACMA (Americana Community Music Association)\, to offer free Acoustic concerts of all original music. Concerts will take place in the Amphitheater\, which is located on South Cornog Plaza. Bring a chair or a blanket\, shows will be moved indoors depending on weather.\nThe ACMA is a Fort Myers based not for profit that promotes local artists who perform their own original songs. Come hear great original music and the stories behind the songs in an intimate Songwriters Showcase. Be prepared to enjoy an evening of professional quality acoustic Americana music. Americana music a coming together of blues\, roots\, folk and country.\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.\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. .\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

SUMMARY:ACMA@Alliance! The Nouveaux Honkies in concert. Robert Bidney opens.
DESCRIPTION:The ACMA@Alliance concert series finishes up the season with The Nouveau Honkies/Robert Bidney opens outdoor concert.\nHow reservations work for outdoor concerts: We 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.

Yes\, some would call them “snowbirds”\, but they will declare themselves bi-statual. That’s not a word\, but it will be. As far as what one will hear when they perform\, they consider it genre neutral. They play songs they wrote and songs they wish they wrote. If you wanna get picky it’s called “mother lovin’\, country folkin’ blues”. Catch a show and you will end up smiling.\n\nIn mid 2014\, Rebecca Dawkins and Tim O’Donnell\, of The Nouveaux Honkies\, hoisted anchor and set sail in their rebuilt RV. The journey started in South Florida and took them as far west as the Rockies\, as far north as the Great Lakes\, as far east as Cape Cod\, and returned south for the winter. It’s been somewhere around 150 thousand miles\, 600 shows\, and at least one million smiles that has influenced The Nouveaux Honkies and their Loud In Here CD release in March of 2018. The New Year will also see TNH with a permanent residence in Knoxville\, TN. O’Donnell says\, “We based out of Tennessee the last two summers and fell in love with the Smokies. Knoxville will be a wonderful spring through fall hub for traveling and we also love this little city.” Their 2015 release\, “Blues For Country\,” masterfully blended styles. Their new release\, “Loud In Here\,” is a continuance of that same concept\, respecting the greats and creating their own gumbo\, which reveals a highway of influences.\nhttps://tnhband.com/bio\n\nACMA musician Robert Bidney opens.\nRobert Bidney is a singer songwriter whose message is as strong as his melodies. His music is relatable and has a strong commercial sensibility.\nHe has been writing songs for most of his life. To support his family\, he worked in the advertising world\, but pursued his passion of writing songs with meaning. Those songs define him and reveal his soul.\nA seasoned performer\, Bidney connects with his audiences through his infectious energy and emotional performances with 3 CD releases that have made their marks on the charts.\nAn active member of the Americana Community Music Association\, Bidney lives in Southwest Florida and continues to write songs close to his heart.\nwww.robertbidney.com
