We’re excited to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. The Acoustic Brew was the idea of John Walls, who moved to central Pennsylvania from New England and who had been involved with the Nameless Coffeehouse in Cambridge, Mass. On Saturday February 22, 1992, the first Acoustic Brew show was held at the Center for Well Being in Lemont, PA, with Kevin Morrissey opening for Simple Gifts. Over 330 shows later, the Brew continues to host local and nationally known acts at a variety of venues around State College. The Brew has carried on so long because of the dedication and hard work of many, many volunteers over those thirty years. It is pretty unique amongst music presenters in that it’s not dependent on a single individual to keep things going. As one volunteer steps away, another steps in and we keep going and going. Join us in this celebration of those volunteers and the great music that has graced our stages over these past 30 years.

Stay tuned for more information on the lineup…
