Acoustic Son began at a Thanksgiving gathering in 1999 while singing improvs around the dinner table. They released their first CD in 2002 and their CD - Time in the Middle - was released in October 2004. Both CD's capture the strong vocal qualities of Ken Kingsbury, Carolyn Shaw and Mark Jacobson.
Acoustic Son is a San Francisco based band blending the style of
Fleetwood Mac with a taste of Dave Matthews for a uniquely enjoyable acoustic sound.
Acoustic Son has played many venues in the San Francisco area, including: 19 Broadway, Hotel Utah, the Bazaar Café, Cafe du Nord, Pat O'shea's, Pioneer Saloon, Cafe Amsterdam, Ireland's 32, the Cannery, the Curve, Caffe Trieste, Rasellas, and Thee Parkside.

Blending broken-heart lyrics with richly textured melodies
author: Tom Mazzolini
Blending broken-heart lyrics with richly textured melodies, Acoustic Son could be the next group to emerge from the long tradition of San Francisco singer-songwriter groups to reach the spotlight. Equally appealing, though, is their unique reworking of classic material wherein Acoustic Son lend their novel interpretive skills to the melody and the lyric. In the long history of invention and recreation, Acoustic Son shines in the interpretive mood of the landscape of song.

Strong lyrics, Incredible harmonies backed by great arrangemens
author: Bassist & Composer Edo Castro
I first heard Acoustic Son at a gig. I was in awe. What had been missing from the SF Bay Area music scene for the last 25 years had unfolded before me: A band with strong lead and backing vocals, hip arrangements and lyrics that stir the senses. Wow.
In an age of Ashlee Simpson, Brittany Spears, the Back Street Boys and InSync Acoustic Son is the precious relief from the hype of Plastic Surgery Pop music. Their 2nd CD "Time in the Middle" is a collection of precious insights to the soul, the everyday quandaryies of life and the precarious nature of love. You have to have this in your collection.
