Acoustic Eidolon

Doors at 6:15 PM | Show at 7:00 PM

Acoustic Eidolon, featuring Joe Scott on double-neck guitjo and Hannah Alkire on cello, is from Colorado and has graced stages throughout the US, Europe, Australia, and Canada. With 13 CDs and 2 DVDs to their credit, these masterful artists continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their signature “new acoustic” sound and the boundless possibilities of blending Celtic, Americana, Folk, World & Flamenco musical influences.

Their original sound is created by the mixing of their diverse musical backgrounds and their unusual instrumentation, including the one-of-a-kind double neck guitjo, an instrument of Joe’s own design praised by USA Today as a “beautiful harp-like sounding instrument … like nothing we’ve ever heard before.” The double-neck guitjo has 14 strings, and Joe has developed his own style and technique, playing both necks simultaneously. Classically-trained 2 of 7 cellist Hannah Alkire studied with G. Magyar of the Hungarian String Quartet and is recognized internationally for her stunning tone and emotional, impeccable playing, and for taking the cello places it’s never been before.

What started as a musical journey between kindred spirits blossomed into their marriage in 2001. The result is a coupling of intricate and passionate music with genuine and engaging stories. They are each virtuoso players, but their stories and connection to the audience provide a backdrop of transparency, revealing both the struggles and triumphs of their lives.
