The Chapman's Story:

The Acoustic Shoppe has quickly become one of the leading sources for acoustic instruments, accessories, and online and in-person learning. As a full-time touring band, The Chapmans performed and recorded at the highest levels of bluegrass and acoustic music for many years. The Acoustic Shoppe allows them to share their years of experience as professional musicians and teachers with customers locally and around the world.

The Chapmans began as a family band in Colorado's bluegrass-rich Front Range. Touring extensively, they learned from bluegrass legends and quickly gained popularity for their talent and charm. In 2002, the International Bluegrass Music Association named them Emerging Artist of the Year, and John was named Guitar Player of the Year by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass in America. They recorded for Pinecastle and Compass Records and eventually moved to Missouri, where they put down roots in the Springfield area. They started teaching private lessons and opened their own teaching studio, gradually expanding to offer a full line of new and used acoustic instruments. They also feature live music on their Ozark Music Shoppe program, which airs on KOZL on Sunday nights.

Today, The Acoustic Shoppe serves musicians and students around the world through online and in-person sales and instruction. Their teaching studio, The Academy, is a state-of-the-art music learning program that allows students to learn at their own pace with top teachers. The shop carries high-quality instruments at every price point, all expertly set-up and ready for you to play.

In addition to their retail and educational offerings, The Acoustic Shoppe is dedicated to building a vibrant online community of acoustic music enthusiasts. With over 40,000 subscribers to their YouTube channel and millions of views on their TikTok channel, they are engaging with a global audience. The Acoustic Shoppe plans to launch its own online forum and resource center, providing a comprehensive platform for all things acoustic. This initiative will create a space where musicians of all levels can interact, encourage, and learn from each other, furthering their mission to foster a love for acoustic music and instruments.
