Acoustic Eidolon resounds on Tusten stage

NARROWSBURG, NY—The musical talents of Joe Scott and Hannah Alkire come together to create unique acoustic instrumental sound with Acoustic Eidolon on Saturday, May 9 at 8:00 p.m. at the Tusten Theatre. The concert is presented by Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA).

Scott plays an instrument he invented: the double-neck guitjo, a custom acoustic guitar with two necks, built exclusively for him.
