Acoustic Eidolon

April 19 * Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts *  304 Colorado Hwy 105 * Palmer Lake * 481-0475 * 7:30 * $12/$15

From the Vancouver Island MusicFest to the Kerrville Folk Festival, from the Kennedy Center in D.C. to St. Paul's Cathedral in London and the Spandau Theatre in Berlin, Germany, people have been praising the sound of Acoustic Eidolon.  Joe Scott and Hannah Alkire have combined their musical talents to create an exciting new acoustic instrumental sound.  Joe plays an instrument he invented: the double-neck guitjo, a custom acoustic guitar with two necks, built exclusively for him.  This one-of-a-kind instrument has incredible range and tonal qualities, sounding at times like a piano, dulcimer or beautiful harp.  Combine that with Hannah's stunning tone and impeccable cello-playing, and you have the ingredients for some very moving music.

Acoustic Eidolon's recordings are a rich blend of both artists' musical influences and have been described as pure musical poetry and have been featured on NPR's All Things Considered, John Diliberto's Echoes, PAX Television, Woodsong's Olde Time Radio Hour, and numerous other stations across the country.  Their live shows are very entertaining and include a few vocal selections, as well as pieces that borrow from Celtic, contemporary, bluegrass and Latin influences.

Acoustic Eidolon will be performing at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts on Saturday, April 19.  Doors open at 7:00 PM for a 7:30 PM show.  Tickets are $12 TLCA members, $15 non-members.  Tickets are available at The Wine Seller (719-488-3019) and Covered Treasures in Monument (719-481-2665), and TLCA (719-481-0475) in Palmer Lake.
