acoustic artist

Non-electric music maker

An acoustic artist is a musician who performs primarily with non-electric instruments—typically acoustic guitar, piano, or voice—rather than amplified or electronic ones.

The term often distinguishes performers from their rock or pop counterparts: She started as an acoustic artist before forming a full band.

Acoustic artists frequently appear in intimate venues, coffeehouses, and unplugged sessions.
