The first Sunday of every month musicians and music lovers come together at the Acoustic Graveyard to talk, laugh, love, and hear great live music. Whether you're a touring professional, singer/songwriter, campfire picker, or audience singalong champ, if you love music, you just found the new home of your Best Time.....
Each event night, expect to hear 3 to 4 professionals let their hair down with their favorite acoustic axe for tight half-hour sets. And what makes the night really special, hear up to 5 local, unbooked nonprofessional musicians share a favorite song as they take their step toward becoming Shooting Stars. AND THEN THERE'S AUDIENCE JAM where you get to sing and/or play along with everyone in the house on a classic we all know! Throw in a detailed Play Bill, with bios and pictures of the featured musicians, and it's a musical experience YouTube just can't compete with. And you'll NEVER FORGET!

ABOUT YOUR HOSTS
THE KIMMIE & JOHNNY TRAILER TRASH COMBO
Country PUNK. Real people. Real feelings. Real music. https://www.facebook.com/Kimmie.And.Johnny/app_2405167945
Kimmie & Johnny are a Bloomington & Bedford, Indiana-based, song-writing Country Punk band. We’re the #1 Country Band on the Reverbnation website. Former cult members and defrocked professionals, a year ago we were homeless on Bloomington’s streets. The Kimmie & Johnny Trailer Trash Combo, are an acoustic/electric Country Punk trio. We fuse elements of country, punk, rockabilly, folk, and more, performed by a tight trio. With an in-your-face-attitude, slightly lubricated with subversive sentimentality. We've been featured editorially in Bloom Magazine twice, as well as IDS (Indiana Daily Student), the Indiana Monthly website, as well as the Bedford Indiana Times Mail.
