Acoustic Acres: Alberta's newest outdoor live music and events venue

Acoustic Acres is Alberta's newest outdoor live music and events venue in the Two Hills county region, 45 minutes East of Edmonton, Alberta's energy capital.

'Hello, I'm Drew the founder of Acoustic Acres, I'm a 37 year old entrepreneur and an entertainment industry leader for the past 25 years operating as Freelance Custom Productions, no your math is not wrong I started a concert business at the age of 12, it has since grown and maintained up until 2019 when the world stopped, I expanded into a tv studio division for 3 short years, I'm now retooling to operate from home as part of the long-term expansion plan.

Located on the West side of highway #857 West of Hairy Hill Rodeo Grounds on range road #150 & township road #552 you'll find a picturesque treeline to the South of the 2.5 acre orchard that plays host to the majority of our events, it's full of various apple & maple trees and hundreds of feet of various berry bushes.

Within the 10 acre private property of Acoustic Acres is a separately fenced pond the size of a skating rink, minus the tranquil little island of course. Two canoes, four paddles and life jackets sit on the shore, make laps around the fountain safe, fun and exciting. From the open field parking and camping areas it's a short walk around either side of the pond, the main gates to concerts in the orchard feature an overhead archway secured between the ticket booth and the first aid shelter, from the gates you can't miss the spectacle of the mainstage structure to the East, standing 15 feet tall and almost 40 feet wide the silver stage and trussing system glitter in the sun.

The future is promising at Acoustic Acres having already played host to two live concerts and a movie night by the time you've read this. Our first event was headlined by the once infamous 'Trick Ryder' band, we had approximately 70 people in attendance, due to the fact no one knows we're here yet, We had two solo opening acts, one by local talent Steve Phillips who's full band Zamophill opens the venue's second show on Friday June 23rd.

Local support is detrimental to our operations, from who we hire, where we do business and shop to the local support we get in return from the community, it's all crucial to help grow our community together as citizens by voting with our wallets so to speak.

The responses have been positive, we've been boots on the ground meeting people and shaking hands, we attended the Two Hills Agri days trade show, Bob Ross with the county/town of Two Hills has been a huge help in his roll as the local tourism leader, Bid's General Supplies, over in Willingdon, has supported us as our first official sponsor's but the amount of generational collective knowledge they have is the real help. Our friends and family left in Southern Alberta are very supportive online, and recently one friends welding company became our first permanent park sponsor.

We look forward to all that the area has to offer, from lake's to bike rally's to winter sports and more, we know we're in the right area based on the people's opinions and interactions with us so far, we hope to meet as many people as we can because everyone has an interesting story.
