Acoustic Eidolon, featuring Joe Scott on double-neck guitjo and Hannah Alkire on cello are from Colorado and have graced stages throughout the U.S., Europe, Australia and Canada.

Their original sound is created by the mixing of their diverse musical backgrounds and their unusual instrumentation including the one-of-a-kind double-neck guitjo, an instrument of Scott’s own design. The double-neck guitjo has 14 strings and Scott has developed his own style and technique, playing both necks simultaneously. Classically trained cellist 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.

The two joined their personal lives after forming their musical alliance and were married in 2001. The result is a coupling of intricate and passionate music with genuine and engaging stories.
