Across the Americas with Acoustic Nomads at Acoustic Brew
Born in the heart of New England, the Acoustic Nomads is a band of rising stars that embark on a musical odyssey that transcends genres, weaving together jazz, newgrass, and folkloric traditions from the rich tapestry of the Americas. Their music 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.
Their performances maintain the truest spirit of folkloric music whilst delving into modern jazz improvisation and sophisticated chamber music arrangements. Acoustic Nomads are artistic ambassadors on a mission to exhibit the beauty and unity within the vast array of American musical traditions, creating curious, compassionate and open-minded music fans the world over.

Acoustic Nomads (AN) Biography
Acoustic Nomads is an atypical string quartet of young superstars on the rise in the New England acoustic music scene, uniting their diverse musical backgrounds to create a uniquely Pan-American musical experience.
It’s like a musical potluck - everyone brings something to the table, and before you know it you have a feast with friends!
Acoustic Nomads' repertoire interweaves music from Venezuelan, Appalachian, Peruvian, Argentinean, Brazilian, and American Jazz sources, connecting these threads with beautiful original melodies, rhythmic grooves, and playful, lyrical improvisation between the musicians.
The group is comprised of Ethan Setiawan, mandolinist with Cornerhouse and 2014 National Mandolin Champion;
Sofia Chiarandini, 2021 Freshgrass Fiddle Competition Champion and fiddler with The Ruta Beggars and Jacob's Ladder;
Maurizio Fiore Salas, prolific composer, virtuosic guitarist and player of the Venezuelan Cuatro, and Latin Grammy Scholarship winner;
and Noah Harrington, award-winning jazz performer, composer, educator, and sometime bassist with Mari Black, The Ruta Beggars, and Alisa Amador of Tiny Desk Fame.
Since forming at the Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2019, the group has released three albums, including "The Abominable Stringband Vol. 1 & 2," available for streaming and purchase everywhere music can be heard.
Acoustic Nomads has also graced stages and filled halls around the Northeastern United States, from Club Passim, Arts at the Armory, and WBUR Cityspace in Boston and Cambridge to Barnarts Vermont's Feast and Field series, The Dance Hall in Kittery ME, the Hartford Jazz Society's Baby Grand series, and the Grey Fox and Joe Val Bluegrass festivals.
