Our featured performers this month are Robert Bidney and Andy Shapiro. \nRobert Bidney\, based in Ft. Myers\, Florida\, is an award-winning\, touring singer-songwriter whose messages are as strong as his melodies. He received an Honorable Mention in the first Music For Humanity Song Writer Competition in 2023 with his song\, “It’s All About The Love.” \nBidney connects with his audiences through infectious energy and emotion. His third album “Thank Goodness” earned accolades along with strong charting success on Folk and Americana radio. Bidney’s work has been praised by such media notables as Ben Fong-Torres of Rolling Stone\, Lee Zimmerman of Goldmine Magazine\, Jon Stein of WTBQ 93.5FM in New York and Elise Cady of Americana Highways Magazine. To learn more\, please visit his website: https://robertbidney.com. \nAndy Shapiro…\nFor what it’s worth… it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. Andy dreamed about writing songs and started studying when he was 62. He released his first album\, “Find My Way Home\,” when he was 66\, which received honorable mention at the Empower Music Awards. \nHis second album is recorded but yet unreleased because he had a calling to focus on a musical memoir called Strings Of Hope which includes stories and songs that show how hope can survive through dark times. \nHis songs blend his musical influences of Americana\, Blues\, Country and Folk to tell heartfelt stories that he feels need to be told. https://www.instagram.com/andyshapiromusic. \nWe start promptly at 7:30\, but recommend you arrive closer to 6:30 for a seat with table. Noble Coffee will serve a light dinner menu plus a great selection of desserts\, coffees & teas. \nThis is a free event.
