An eclectic mix of acoustic and a capella artists in a relaxed informal atmosphere.
 

This amazing group’s passion and delivery of their performance is truly captivating, with dramatic arrangements of traditional and original material
 
  Ember
Ember have delighted audiences at festivals and shows all across the world with their beautiful songs and silky vocal harmonies

Tom says that he’s still relatively new to live performances, but you’ll be hooked on his laid-back style and conscious song writing. Just great
 
  Cosmo
Cosmo is the guita-pickin' son of a lapsed Hungarian baron and a disinherited Scottish noblewoman allegedly descended from William the Conqueror. We love him
Susan Raven
Susan’s spiritual song writing combined with her driving 12 string guitar really is a joy to behold. Highly recommended
 
Dubsolution
Brian Copsey, Tommy Mills and George Jackson line up with a fine selection of original songs. Intricate guitar, soulful bass and tight rhythms – quite simply a must-see

Just a man called james who does his bit for queen and country by serenading
passers by with sweet tunes of lost love and.. people drowning.
 
 
Me-And-Del-And-My-Brother-Andrew hail from the south-east and are enjoying the opportunity of playing to new audiences with loads of new material. You’ll love this

This 4 piece from Shrewsbury have been turning heads on the session and acoustic circuits. Tunes custom tailored for the summer days!
 
 
The lead singer from local heroes, Voodoo Johnson brings his acoustic set to our stage. A chance to see his lighter side?
Jack Harris
One of the most talented songwriters and musicians to come out of the area, Jack has won awards both here and abroad. A truly inspirational experience
 
 
Another Shropshire artist who has entertained audiences all over, and provides lots of support to his music community

Acoustica organiser and songsmith Craig will be doing…something. Though he’s not exactly sure what yet. Wait and see…
 
 
Harry’s powerful performances have already knocked the socks clean off audiences nationwide, and he’s been a huge part of Acoustica since we started in 2005

She is a very special new addition to the line-up. Definitely one not to miss.
 
 
A unique mix of infectious dance rhythms & memorable tunes, real music that is fun & uplifting.

Its all about the lyrics with Dumb Instrument and these are enriched with simple yet poignant accompaniment from piano, fiddle and bass.
 
 
Nat Jenkins plays with a band called 'The Delmars'. Together they have had many adventures....

He has a reggae style to his acoustic vibes and lyrical content that speaks volumes about the unbalanced nature of modern living, here lies a man who knows there are greater things to sing about than boy meets girl.
 
 
Its all there in the music, the country, bluegrass and pop of Jeb's early years, the rebel music of punk and reggae, one connecting to the other, all of them intersecting and crossing over.
