The Acorn is a Canadian indie folk band from Ottawa, Ontario, formed in 2003. Rolf Klausener is the principal songwriter, as well as vocalist and guitarist. The other members are drummer Jeffrey Malecki, guitarist/visual artist Howie Tsui, bassist Jeff Debutte, and Montreal keyboardist/vixen Keiko Devaux. Devaux joined The Acorn in 2006, and redheaded multi-instrumentalist/hype-boy/hype-man Shaun Weadick joined in 2007. In North America, they are now signed to Paper Bag Records, but also have releases from Kelp Records. They are signed to Bella Union in the UK and Europe.

Their songs have charted on Canadian campus charts and have been in rotation on CBC Radio 3 and The Verge.

The songs on Glory Hope Mountain, their latest album, describe the life of Klausener's Honduras-born mother, Gloria Esperanza Montoya.[1]

They played the Hillside Festival in Guelph in 2008 and supported Elbow on their UK tour in March 2009.
