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 and Hannah created their original sound by mixing their diverse musical backgrounds and their unusual instrumentation which includes the one-of-a-kind double neck guitjo, an instrument designed by Joe. The guitjo 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 and for taking the cello places it’s never been before.

After forming their musical alliance, Hannah and Joe joined their personal lives and were married in 2001. The result is a coupling of intricate and passionate music with genuine and engaging stories. With nine 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, Folk, World and Latin music 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 Georgia’s Good Life Magazine enthuses, “Acoustic Eidolon offers concert-goers a chance t absorb some of the most powerful and intriguing music on the scene today.”
