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.

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.

If they had been around in the late 60’s or early 70’s\, Crosby\, Stills\, Nash and Young would be opening for them. \nUs!\, comprised of singer-songwriters Glen Roethel\, Judy Kass\, and Amy Soucy happened when three musical seekers joined their eclectic talents and influences to write songs encouraging positive change\, unity\, and dialogue. The trio spices their message-driven compositions with luscious harmonies\, robust melodies\, and unexpected twists and turns. The Us! co-write\, “Too Much Crying” garnered a Gold Award in the Open Category of the 36th Mid-Atlantic Song Contest\, and “Elevator Speech” was a Finalist there in 2024.

She draws in her audience with soulful vocals\, no-nonsense lyrical storytelling and genre-bending exploration of guitar and piano.

Judy’s 2014 debut album\, “Better Things” and her 2016 CD\, “Beyond the Ash and Steel” both received notable airplay\, appearing on the Folk DJ List of Top Albums for those years. Her latest solo album release\, “New Skin debuted at #4 on the Folk Alliance Top Albums Chart for July\, 2025. www.judykass.com\n—\nAmy Soucy is a Beacon\, NY-based contemporary folk chanteuse who writes evocative songs exploring the kaleidoscope of human experience (dreams\, longing\, forgiveness\, and healing) and sings them in a voice that’s been called “powerful\,” “comforting\,” and “angelic.” In 2016\, she was selected for a coveted spot in the Emerging Artist Showcase at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and took home first prize in the CT Folk Songwriting Competition. www.amysoucymusic.com\n—\nGlen Roethel’s baritone-tenor voice and melodic acoustic guitar stylings light up stages solo and in ensemble with vocal marvels such as Sloan Wainwright\, Gathering Time (harmony trio [formerly])\, and new trio\, Us!.
