The Gippsland Acoustic Music Club Inc aims to encourage acoustic music in the Gippsland region. We support the development of local musicians' skills as well as providing concert opportunities.

Acoustic music covers a broad spectrum of styles, including Australian "home-grown" music. At our club nights you can expect to hear a variety of musical styles, including self-composed work.

The Club has been active in supporting music in Gippsland since 1982.
