People across Canada and the world 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. Adding to these two is Thomas Loefke and the beautiful Celtic harp.

Acoustic Eidolon's recordings are a rich blend of both artists' musical influences and have been described as pure musical poetry. It is truly a different and enchanting sound. 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.
