"One guitar. One week. One song."

The Acoustic Guitar Project is a global music platform and concert series that inspires musicians to write and record a song in one week on the same guitar.

The Syracuse project, curated by Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers, is one of the longest-running projects in the world, celebrating its 12th year. To date, 60 songs have been written on the Syracuse guitar. This fall, five more Central New York artists will join the tradition.

The project was created to help musicians reconnect to the original moment that inspired them to be singer/songwriters. Rodgers says the beauty of the project is its spontaneity. Songwriters may go into the project thinking they'll write a particular kind of song, but often finish the week with a drastically different creation. Join us as we listen to where the guitar takes them.

This year's artists will be announced as they complete their songs.
