The Maine Acoustic Festival is a statewide student festival presented by 317 Main Community Music Center, North Yarmouth Academy, and Portland Ovations. The festival promotes traditional acoustic music styles that have shaped Maine's culture: Bluegrass, Old-Time American, Franco-Acadian, Irish, and Singer-Songwriter. More than 30 selected middle and high school students from around the state will come together for our first annual festival on April 4-6, 2013, to rehearse and participate in workshops and performances with nationally recognized guest artists.
