About Me

AcousticMusicScene.com is an online publication launched in January 2007 to provide news & commentary for the folk, roots and singer-songwriter communities throughout the U.S. Besides providing advance notice and coverage of awards and contests, conferences of note and music festivals, AcousticMusicScene.com features pertinent national news, a photo gallery, and Acoustic Radio Waves, Bluegrass & Beyond and Celtic Corner sections. Its extensive links section connects visitors to other websites where they can learn about folk and other acoustic music organizations, venues, open mics & jams, and artists performing in areas in which they live, work or travel.

AcousticMusicScene.com is designed to promote quality acoustic music by providing you with useful news and insightful commentary. We also aim to foster a greater sense of community for performers, presenters and fans of folk, roots and other acoustic music styles.
Although Long Island calendar listings and news capsules are included within its pages (reflecting the locale of its creators), there also is and will be much posted here that should interest and appeal to a much broader and wider audience within the acoustic community.
AcousticMusicScene.com and several of its online columns are updated frequently. If you have pertinent news to share with others through our site, please send an e-mail to [email protected] for consideration.
