Watch This Q&A Replay

Watch this Q&A replay where we announce this year's ALF concept and the changes that will make this year's event the best one ever! We'll start by giving you the full event rundown, then we'll answer the top questions!

Space is limited at this year's ALF venue so tickets are limited to just 120. There will be no guest/spouse passes available. In other words, there's just one ticket type. Workshops and guided jamming are restricted to ticket holders only, but the other functions are open to spectators.

See the bottom of this page for frequently asked questions.

*No refunds (transfers are allowed).

Your Experience

Play guitar (a lot), connect with TAC members, push your boundaries, sharpen your skills, be inspired.

If playing guitar with, for, or around others is on your bucket list, this is the event for you. All skills levels are welcome, but it's especially accommodating for guitar newbies, people with stage fright, and supportive, encouraging personality types!

We've heard you loud and clear. This year we're embracing our mantra, "Guitar Geeks, Unite!" and taking it to a whole new level. This year's theme is all about more time with each other and more time to play guitar!

Frequently Asked Questions

What hotels are best?

We have room blocks at The Lark (Downtown), and Springhill Suites (not downtown). Call the hotel directly and mention the Acoustic Life Festival room block for special rates.

Should I bring my guitar?

Yes! But if traveling with your guitar isn't possible, check with Music Villa for a rental. Many attendees have purchased an inexpensive guitar at Music Villa and then donated it to Guitars For Vets.

Yes! Workshops and guided jamming are restricted to ticket holders only, but the other functions are open to spectators.

What's NOT included in the ticket price?

Transportation, accommodations, and meals are not included.

What's the ticket refund/transfer policy?
