INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK
Monday 06/29 and weekend of July 4th
AN INTERVIEW WITH MOBY
Two decades of Moby
In the first of two interviews we talk with Moby about a career that has taken from the disco dance floors of New York City to an avatar of electronic music that has found favor in the pop charts, on films and in commercials. Moby takes us from his days as the man behind many pseudonyms to his latest album, a reflective CD called Wait for Me.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH CRAIG D'ANDREA
Just another guitarist from Connecticut
Craig D'Andrea is on the young end of the finger-style spectrum, but that doesn't stop him from making string-popping, melodically inventive music on his latest album, Getting Used To Isolation. Craig D'Andrea steps into the Echoes living to play live.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH ACOUSTIC EIDOLON
Guitjo and cello converge
Acoustic Eidolon is the long-lived duo of cellist Hannah Alkire and guitarist Joe Scott. They create lyric, modern instrumental folk music using cello, guitar and Joe Scott's invention, the guitjo, a double-necked instrument combining banjo and guitar. When he plays it, it sounds more like a harp guitar with resonating ringing strings surrounding Alkire’s fluid and sometimes impassioned cello lines. Their new album is River of Fire and they play music from it live, on Echoes.
