GRAB OUR BANNER
AcoustiCafe is a non-profit "angel" promotional organization, comprised primarily of regional singer-songwriters. Our goal is to facilitate communications between regional musicians, venues, organizations that sponsor musical events, the media, music industry, and local music fans. We hope to eliminate the duplication of efforts for local musicians and to promote them as a whole, regionally and beyond.

We're back! (Yes...you read that right!) If you are interested in helping us continue our efforts in support of local music, please let us know.
