   About Bill Ackerbauer
I’m a writer, editor, teacher, parent and musician from Johnstown, N.Y., a small city in the foothills of the Adirondacks.

As a solo act, I mainly play acoustic guitar and harmonica, with a little banjo, mandolin, fiddle, etc., thrown in for variety. My repertoire includes hundreds of traditional and contemporary songs in the roots-music genres of folk, vintage blues, bluegrass, early country, maritime and Irish drinking songs -- and original songs stemming from these traditions.

Samples of my music are available here or at my homepage: Smokin’ Bill’s Digital Depot

For bookings, call 210-6181 or e-mail me at smokinbill(at)aol.com.

Hello Bill, just went to check in on your blog and alas it has gone 'permanently'.
Thought I'd lost you there! How are things? Still playing rugby or have your injuries ended your career?

Thank you so much Bill! I really enjoyed Frankie and Johnny.

Sorry that I ran out of CD's next week I'll have a fresh batch.

Also thought I'd mention, I'm going to be playing an Emerging Artist Night at Caffe Lena on next Wednesday January 21st @ 7:00PM. The cover charge is $3 just like open mic night. I know it's short notice but I'd really appreciate it if you'd come!

It went really well. The event itself went off without any problems and it was a blast! There were so many great players it was awesome. Michael Eck let me use his beautiful national for my set which was a real trip.

I would have been at the Friday show too if I hadn't been in Boston!
