Acoustic Nomads interweaves folkloric traditions from Appalachia to Argentina with soaring melodies, playful improvisation, and driving grooves. The band's unique sound is a result of the players harnessing their varied musical interests and joyously exploring uncharted territory together.
The members of Acoustic Nomads have toured nationally and internationally, playing everywhere from NPR Tiny Desk, to the British Isles, Peru, and Canada. Following in the footsteps of world music giants like The Silk Road Project, Acoustic Nomads seeks to create curious, compassionate fans of global music all over the world by highlighting the diversity within and commonality between musical traditions.
Their performances maintain the spirit of folkloric music, while delving into conversational soloing and sophisticated chamber music arrangements, showing how different cultures can come together and join in the celebration of humanity through art. This band of seasoned musicians includes Noah Harrington (bass), Maurizio Fiore Salas (guitar, Venezuelan cuatro), Ethan Setiawan (mandolin), and Sofía Chiarandini (fiddle).
"Having gotten to know some of these brilliant young folks from the Berklee College of Music, I was predisposed to loving this project before even hearing it. Needless to say, every expectation was met and this rich omnibus of savory musics is sure to garner many new fans." - Tony Trischka
