Two of Southwest Florida’s most storied acoustic musicians, Andy Wahlberg and Bill Metts will be onstage at the Off-Broadway Palm. Known for transforming the listening room experience into something deeply personal and technically astounding, these two artists embody the ACMA’s mission of fostering original, independent music. This season promises a masterclass in storytelling, spanning the humorous, the heartfelt, and the instrumental virtuosic.

Andy Wahlberg, widely celebrated as "The Harp Guitar Guy," brings more than 45 years of professional performance to the stage. A true entertainer in the vaudevillian tradition, Wahlberg’s act is a unique blend of chameleonic vocals, sharp humor, and jaw-dropping skill on the 18-string harp guitar. Whether he is performing a complex arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody" or original scores from his extensive film and television work, Wahlberg’s ability to weave together diverse musical styles ensures a performance that is as unpredictable as it is captivating.

Complementing Wahlberg’s grand style is the soulful, finger-style artistry of Bill Metts. A longtime ACMA board member and host of the local Songwriters Circle, Metts draws from a deep well of American Folk and Country Blues. His work is defined by its intimacy and social purpose; notably, his involvement with "Hope by Song" has seen him help individuals navigate trauma through songwriting. Together, Wahlberg and Metts offer a dual perspective on the Americana genre, merging technical brilliance with the raw, restorative power of the written song for an unforgettable season of live music.

AMERI-KINDA-GRASS= Passerine. These 4 create a sound that is familiar and unique, whether it be a sweet ballad, a foot stompin' bluegrass tune, or a rockin' original. So happy to have them back on our ACMA stage!

Formed in 2009, Passerine’s distinctive sound combines vocal harmonies, the crisp rhythms of an acoustic guitar, the haunting voices of the fiddle and dobro (resonator slide guitar), and the resonant lows of an acoustic bass. With inventive vocal harmonies and songwriting, supported by the sounds of acoustic strings, this dynamic group offers a fresh take on traditional folk and bluegrass music as well as a repertoire of original songs that range from sweet ballads to the edgier side of contemporary Americana.

Passerine is singer/songwriter/guitarist Carmela Pedicini, David Brain on dobro, Sara Stovall on violin and vocals, and Doug Conroy on bass guitar and vocals.
