Acoustic Cafe
Acoustic Café is an independent, syndicated radio program, produced in Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S.A. Started in 1995, Acoustic Café presents singer-songwriters in various genres, playing songs in the Acoustic Café studio and chatting with host Rob Reinhart. A selection of current and past recorded material (on CDs) is also a part of each weekly program.
Over the years Acoustic Cafe has presented artists including John Prine, John Mayer, M Ward, Emmylou Harris, Beck, Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco (whose "Million Dollar Intro" is the music played at the program's opening and closing). New, up-and-coming talent remains a constant of Acoustic Cafe's mission.
Acoustic Café can be heard on commercial and non-commercial radio stations around North America, and worldwide on Voice Of America. Web broadcasts and a streaming archive are also widely available on the net.
In 2009, Acoustic Cafe began producing short films of their in-studio guest visits which can be viewed through their Facebook "fan page." These films are being produced by Lucciana Costa for Costa Productions of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
