Tampa Bay’s local music scene is blossoming like never before! The spectrum of sheer, amazing talent found in local venues and bars on any given weekend in the Bay area is astounding.

Understanding this, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa is highlighting local talent this summer with The Tampa Bay Acoustic Music Festival - a showcase of up and coming local artists.

The festival is scheduled for each Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday in June at the Hard Rock Cafe Tampa.

Each day of the festival, at 5 p.m., 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., four local acoustic artists will perform, followed by a headline acoustic artist who will take the stage from 9 p.m. to midnight.

The festival will kick off on Monday, June 1st at 8 p.m. with Grammy-award winning artist Michelle Branch, who surged to fame with hits such as “Everywhere”, “Game of Love” and “All You Wanted”.
