Artists
Bill Mettz, Kim Mayfield & Boz Nabozny
Bill Metts started singing and playing guitar during the country blues revival of the 1960s and fell in love with the art of finger-style guitar. Shortly after moving to Southwest Florida, he was asked to serve on the board of the nationally known Americana Community Music Association. He began writing songs as a result of being asked to host their weekly Songwriter Circle and for four years did so. He also volunteered for “Hope by Song Inc,” a not-for-profit organization, creating songs from the writings of people dealing with great emotional trauma in order to help them heal through the power inherent in music. He has performed at the prestigious Mississippi John Hurt Blues Festival, the world-famous "Ground Zero" in Clarksdale Mississippi, at the Will McLean Festival in Brooksville, Florida, and in the BMI sponsored Island Hopper Songwriter Festival.
Kim Mayfield is also known as half of the Americana duo ‘Reckless Saints,’ (with husband Roy Schneider) and shared in the songwriting for their first two albums. Mayfield’s song "Ring Around the Moon," described by a reviewer as “haunted by Patsy Cline,” earned a semi-finalist spot in the 2019 International Songwriting Competition. Reckless Saints were finalists in the 2025 Kerrville New Folk competition.
