About Acoustic Eidolon: Joe Scott and Hannah Alkire joined forces on the music scene in 1998. This confluence of two gifted musicians has resulted in the internationally acclaimed duo, Acoustic Eidolon. With nine CDs and a DVD to their credit, Joe and Hannah 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.? Joe Scott performs on a unique, custom designed double-neck guitjo, a banjo/guitar combination created exclusively by Joe and deemed by USA Today as ?a beautiful harp-like sounding instrument?. like nothing they?ve ever heard before.? The double-neck guitjo has 14 strings. Joe can play both necks simultaneously, a technique he developed over time which continues to awe his peers as well as Acoustic Eidolon?s audiences. Hannah Alkire was classically trained on the cello. She studied with G. Magyar of the Hungarian String Quartet and has won accolades worldwide for her exquisite tone and mesmerizing emotion she puts into each performance. Her inquisitive nature has prompted her to take her cello playing into uncharted territories, risky moves that have continued her reputation as a tour-de-force in cello performance. San Diego Folk Heritage is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the folk arts in Southern California.
