The Louisville Cultural Council Presents; Acoustic Eidolon
ONLINE TICKETS ARE NOW CLOSED - there are tickets available at the door.
Acoustic Eidolon, featuring Joe Scott on double neck guitjo and Hannah Alkire on cello are from Colorado and have graced stages throughout the US, Europe, Australia and Canada. Joe is a familiar name to our area as co-founder of Wind Machine with Wildwood Music owner Steve Mesple.
With eleven CDs and a DVD to their credit, these masterful artists continue to captivate audiences throughout the world with their signature new acoustic sound and boundless possibilities in blending Celtic, Americana, World & Flamenco musical influences, something that Dirty Linen Magazine praises as a sumptuous musical feast. They are described by the Swallow Hill Music Association as an evening of brilliant instrumentality, and Georgias Good Life Magazine enthuses, Acoustic Eidolon offers concert-goers a chance to absorb some of the most powerful and intriguing music on the scene today.
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 Joes own design praised by USA Today as a beautiful harp-like sounding instrument like nothing weve 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 and for taking the cello places its 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 add the backdrop of transparency from their lives, from the struggles to the triumphs.
