At the crossroads of South American folk music and Northern Americana you will find Acoustic Nomads, a band of rising stars taking the acoustic music scene by storm. Acoustic Nomads interweaves contemporary improvisation and newgrass with folkloric traditions from North and South America, with influences spanning from Appalachia to Argentina. The band's unique sound is a result of the players harnessing these varied musical interests and joyously exploring uncharted musical territory together. Since forming in 2019, Acoustic Nomads has headlined performances at WBUR Cityspace in Boston, Club Passim in Cambridge, Hartford’s Baby Grand Jazz Series, Arts at the Armory in Somerville, Barnarts’ Feast & Field Series in Barnard VT, and performed at major bluegrass festivals including Freshgrass, Grey Fox, and Joe Val. Their performances maintain the spirit of folkloric music while delving into modern jazz improvisation and sophisticated chamber music arrangements, showing how different cultures can come together and join in the celebration of humanity through art.

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.
