Heartland Concerts presents Acoustic Eidolon
Harmony House

Guitar and cello duo. cnn.com

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.
