Join us on Thursday, October 26th at 7 pm for a concert with Acoustic Nomads!

At the crossroads between South American folk music and Northern Americana, you will find Acoustic Nomads.

Acoustic Nomads is a band of rising stars in the New England acoustic music scene, interweaving jazz and newgrass with folkloric traditions from North and South America. The group’s influences span Latin American, Appalachian, Jazz and Celtic music. Their innovative approach to composition expresses all the colors and flavors of the Pan-American experience, and their unique sound is a result of the players harnessing their varied musical interests and joyously exploring uncharted musical territory together.

Chief among their goals is to show audiences the diversity within and commonality between many different musical traditions, creating curious, compassionate and open-minded music fans the world over. Their performances maintain the truest spirit of folkloric music while delving into modern improvisation and sophisticated chamber music arrangements, truly showing how different cultures can come together and join in the celebration of art and humanity.

Acoustic Nomads have released three albums: Quartet (2023) and The Abominable String Band Vol. 1 & 2 (2021 & 2022 respectively). They are all available on Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms.
