Songwriters on the Plaza
The Lee County Library has partnered with the ACMA (Americana Community Music Association) to offer FREE concerts featuring all original music by local artists. These concerts will be held in the Amphitheater on South Cornog Plaza. Attendees are encouraged to bring a chair or blanket, and in case of bad weather, shows will be moved to the nearby meeting rooms.
The ACMA, a Fort Myers-based nonprofit, promotes local artists who perform original songs. At these events, expect to hear singer-songwriters sharing a lifetime of experiences and the stories behind their songs. Prepare for an evening of professional-quality acoustic Americana music, which blends blues, roots, folk, bluegrass, and country. There's plenty of space, so bring a friend and enjoy the music!

Boz Nabozny was born in Detroit and raised just north of Boston, Boz began playing guitar at the age of 14. A lifelong writer of both poetry and songs, he has performed in local bars and venues throughout his life and continues to do so today, playing both original and cover music. Boz is also a retired RN of 27 years and an abstract artist.

Bill Veach was a drummer in a rock band in college, but guitars are easier to move and make for better neighbors so he spent $100 of his precious college beer money on a flame-red acoustic guitar. Moving was a part of his life for years, with a love of travel that is expressed in many of his songs. His songs are often autobiographical, about his experiences, travel, love, loss, hurricanes, and some characters he has met on his journey. Bill is a Western boy, raised in Colorado and lived in Utah and Wyoming before becoming a full-time resident of Fort Myers Beach. He became active writing songs as part of the Cheyenne Guitar Society in Wyoming and finds inspiration in the camaraderie of the ACMA Singer Songwriter Circle on Sundays. Bill has never met a genre he didn't like, and his style varies from slow finger picking to channeling that college drummer through a guitar pick. Bill's music can be found on billveach.com.

Steve Waterbury has been writing songs and playing in public off and on for over 40 years. He stopped all together for about 10 years to help raise his two children. For the past 20 years he has been writing and recording his music on his portable studio and occasionally playing in public venues His songs cover different experiences in his life and are written in different styles, from folk to the blues with some country and western.
