ACOUSTIC EIDOLON

While Hannah Alkire and Joe Scott are masters of their respective instruments, it’s their deep connection to audiences around the world that define “The Acoustic Eidolon Experience”. Their personal stories for each song and engaging spirit create an evening of sheer entertainment. Whether they are sharing a powerful original composition about Hannah’s grandparent’s house or one of their distinctive covers of popular music such as Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, this duo delivers. 

To experience an Acoustic Eidolon concert is to expect to be overcome by emotions: upbeat feelings of joy, reflections of all life has to offer, and gratitude to be alive. As a recent fan enthused, “Although I had listened many times to Acoustic Eidolon’s CDs they hadn’t prepared me for the presence of these two souls--the ease with which they pulled in the audience, the skill they brought to their instruments and the very-much-evident love they have for the process, and for each other. And their musical expertise was beyond easy description--technically perfect but with the added quality of pure passion, as though their instruments were beloved children and each piece a celebration of their deep connection. It's so rare to find musicians whose performance doesn't feel canned and highly polished to the point of creating a separation between them and the audience.” So goes the sentiment often heard by both presenters and audience members following their performances. 

Their sound, both new and nostalgic, is described as genre-bending. Drawing influences from Celtic, Americana, Folk and Flamenco, it is authentic and passionate. That’s why audiences of all ages and musical tastes consistently rave about this Colorado-based duo. These are visionary musicians/artists whose original works and arrangements rightly stand out amongst the easily-formatted. Over AE’s career, they have recorded 12 extraordinarily diverse and distinctive CDs, two DVDs, and played to ever-growing audiences on innumerable US and European tours. Each twist and veer marks the turning of a page, another step forward on a truly exceptional musical path.
