Liverpool Acoustic is the only website of its kind in the UK. It was founded by Graham Holland in April 2008 as a central resource for the vibrant and exciting acoustic music scene in Liverpool and the Greater Merseyside area.

Liverpool Acoustic also hosts its own shows at venues including the Music Room and LEAF on Bold Street.
