Coffee will be provided by Common Grounds.

The event, which is free and open to the public, is hosted twice a semester by the office of campus programs for the 12 students of B.R.A.N. This semester, the Acoustic Café is featuring Elliot Lee, a sophomore from Oklahoma City, Okla; Kyle Walker, a junior from Kingwood, Texas; Taylor Pfeiffer, a freshman from San Antonio; Garrett Muston a freshman from Waco; and Griffin Kelp a senior from Symmes, Ohio.
