"Acoustic Eidolon offers concert-goers a chance to absorb some of the most powerful and intriguing music on the scene today." --Georgia’s Good Life Magazine
Simple Gifts Coffee House welcomes back Acoustic Eidolon as our season opener! If you had the chance to see them with us before, then you know what an incredible experience it will be. Joe Scott playing the double-neck guitjo and Hannah Alkire on cello have graced stages throughout the US, Europe, Australia, and Canada.
Joe and Hannah are a tour-de-force of exciting new acoustic instrumental music, best described as "World Music for the Soul."
With eight CDs and a DVD to their credit, these masterful artists captivate audiences throughout the world with their signature "new acoustic" sound and boundless possibilities in blending Celtic, Folk, World & Latin music influences: something that Dirty Linen Magazine praises as "a sumptuous musical feast."
Their original sound is created by the mixing of their diverse musical backgrounds and their unusual instrumentation. The one-of-a-kind double neck guitjo is an instrument of Joe's own design and has been 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 cellist Hannah Alkire studied with G. Magyar of the Hungarian String Quartet and is recognized internationally for her stunning tone and emotional, impeccable playing, taking the cello places it's never been before.
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to present this incredible music experience. Join us on October 2 and witness this engaging duo's offering of intricate and passionate music and engaging and genuine stories.
