Bio
Acacia Collective was born in a cave in Orange County, California during the winter of 2003. Our sound has been compared to the likes of The Dave Matthews band, Jack Johnson, My Morning Jacket, & the Fleet Foxes. Soon after forming, Craig MacArthur and Ryan McCaffrey began ferociously writing and playing music, focusing on ethereal vocal harmonies and soulful guitar interplay. Inspired by the artistic energy of the Bay Area, the duo relocated to San Francisco in 2004. Over the next several years the Collective grew, incorporating many talented Bay Area musicians. Most notably, they collaborated with bassist, songwriter, producer and Bay Area legend, Bobby Vega. With Vega and guitarist Chris Rosbach producing and with Prairie Prince on drums, the Collective finished their debut album, “House of Cards” in the fall of 2008. With the release of “House of Cards,” Acacia Collective is now on a mission to bring its passion for musical expression to as many ears as possible.
