ABOUT ACOUSTIC EIDOLON

Acoustic Eidolon, featuring Joe Scott (double neck guitjo) and Hannah Alkire (cello), has graced stages throughout the US, Europe, Australia, and Canada. With eleven CDs and a DVD to their credit, these masterful artists continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their signature "new acoustic" sound blending Celtic, Americana, World, and Flamenco musical influences. Their original sound is created by mixing their diverse musical backgrounds and unusual instrumentation, including the one-of-a-kind double-neck guitjo, an instrument of Joe's design.

The double-neck guitjo has 14 strings, and Joe has developed his 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.

ABOUT MARIANNE LERBS

Marianne Lerbs is from Venezuela and has been a long-time festival performer with vocal credits that include recording with famous blues musicians Tony O (Top Pine Perkins), Billy Big Eyes and Bob Stroger (Muddy Waters), Reverend Billy Wirtz, and a 6-year run as the Maja Gitana duo delivering Gypsy Pop music from Florida to New Orleans with gifted violinist Janine Newfield.
