It’s our 27th year, but our 22nd Echoes Live CD. It’s an audio snapshot of where Echoes lives in 2016.
Efflorescent captures the essence of Echoes from the dream pop of
Smoke Fairies and
The Mynabirds to ambient classical works by
Slow Meadow and
Jami Sieber. Two of the leading finger-style guitarists in the world,
Tommy Emmanuel and
Jesse Cook are here as well as an icon of Echoes,
Loreena McKennitt.
Bella Gaia’s stripped down performance rendered a one-of-a-kind version of “One World” with violinist
Kenji Williams and pianist and singer
Kristin Hoffmann playing live.
Ben Neill fires up his mutantrumpet in fractured cycles and
The Album Leaf deposits a prime electronic rock track that supercharges the opening of the album.
The Great American Canyon Band and
SHEL bring a moody country inflection to their dream-pop songs. Indian raga meets psychedelic improvisation with guitarist
Steve Kimock and echoes of
David Lynch and
Angelo Badalamenti are heard in the sound of
Silencio. Where else can you hear that but on Echoes? And now you can listen to it right here on Efflorescent. Let it bloom.
