Acoustic Nights Montreal

[2] The first three such events were organized in association with Artists Alliance Productions and Global NTT.

These events have had fairly good coverage in the local English media, including radio interviews on K103 and CJAD, podcasts on Midnight Poutine, and articles in newspapers like The Suburban.

Each acoustic night event usually features 5-6 acts, either solo artists or small groups, who perform mostly original material, in an acoustic setting, i.e. no drums, no tracks, no distorted guitar.

[1] A special event in the series was the Acoustic Nights Montreal Teen Songwriting Competition 2011, which aims to become an annual event, to discover and promote young talent.

The concept premiered on February 28, 2010 at Bourbon Street West, featuring Montreal artists Sabrina Correa, Patrick Lehman, Melina Soochan, SuLE and David Hodges.
