"A sumptuous instrumental feast"
Dalis Allen - Producer Kerrville Folk Festival
Acoustic Eidolon gave an excellent performance at the Kerrville Folk Festival. I enjoyed every minute of their set. It was delightful to watch Joe and Hannah's music and presence on the stage be so be unanimously embraced and supported by our audience. I have already invited them back to Kerrville.
Colorado Springs Fan
I am actually speechless. You guys are so incredibly talented, and such awesome performers!! I have been a musician and singer for 40 years and have never encountered anything quite like your concept! It simply is beyond belief what you accomplish with the instrumentation you have ... but one must be mindful of the incredible talent you guys have been given. You have a devoted fan from this point forward I assure you.
River House Concerts ~ Cheryl Mansley-Ford
Acoustic Eidolon, charmed the audience at their last River House Concert not only with the beautiful music they create with Hannah's cello and Joe's double neck guitjo, but their singing, their humor and their warmth.

Viva Bookstore, Texas
At our manager's request, I was sent demo CDs of "Beyond Words" and "Joy to the World," as well as the Woodsong Radio Hour demo. They are fabulous!! I look forward to promoting Joe and Hannah. I sincerely hope that somehow we can get them to San Antonio; I know they would be well received. And I am anxious to watch them play ..... even if it means going to Kerrville!!!
Otto Bost ~ Host/Producer
I listen to a lot of acoustic instrumental music, and I find that the music of Acoustic Eidolon stands alone in its elegance and unusual sound. The music is passionate, etheral and lush. Joe's unique double-neck instrument sounds like a guitar at times, but it can also sould like a mandolin, a hammered dulcimer or a banjo - and Hannah's cello playing is simply magnificent.
Simon Collier ~ Crusaid England
Pure musical poetry...a moving combination of Celtic, classical and contemporary folk!
The News-Reporter ~ Washington, GA
"Superb musicianship, Joe's quick humor, Hannah's wall-to-wall smile and infectious charm, easy grace, and audience rapport. That's Joe and Hannah, that's Acoustic Eidolon."
Georgia Good Life Magazine
"The irreplecable sound of the guitjo in conjuction with Joe and Hannah's musical ability, creates some of the most beautiful music on the scene today. It is truly a different and enchanting sound."
Canon Chancellor Edmund Newell, St Paul's Cathedral, London
"To hear Acoustic Eidolon play so beautifully in St Paul's Cathedral was both deeply moving and inspirational."
Acoustic Guitar Magazine Review of "Joy to the World" - Celine Keating
This holiday jewel showcases the warm, vibrant tone of Hannah Alkire's cello and the sparkling harplike sound of Joe Scott's guitjo. This unusual duo's fourth release avoids the sappy sentimentality of many seasonal albums...
Christmasreviews.Com - Richard Banks
Joy to the World is clearly one ot the most restful and soothing CD's I've heard this season. This is a good all-around CD from early season to Christmas Day...and for what ails you when you get the winter blues.
