what we do

Progressive Acoustic Concerts celebrates the diverse sounds of American folk and world roots music through live performances and educational events. We create intimate, welcoming venues where audiences connect with artists specializing in genres like bluegrass, old-time, gospel, blues, Celtic, Cajun, and Klezmer. Our mission is to support underrepresented folk musicians while preserving and evolving traditional sounds. Through concerts and community workshops, we promote cultural exchange and music education, inspiring all generations.

Progressive Acoustics is a program of The Community’s Foundation.
