RICHARD LEO JOHNSON: RIDING THE RAILS OF RUSTIC AMERICANA
An acoustic guitar wizard creates an Americana myth

Richard Leo Johnson came to renown for his death-defying pyrotechnic forays of two-handed guitar tapping, often on a double-necked acoustic guitar. But a while back, the Arkansas born guitarist who currently lives in Savannah came across a battered National Steel guitar with the name Vernon McAlister scratched into its dull metal. Johnson took that name, created a story for Vernon McAlister, a drifter who rode the rails and played his guitar, and released an album of rustic ambient Americana. Richard Leo Johnson talks about his myth and the music it inspired.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH MARCONI UNION
Ambient duo plays only second live performance
Marconi Union is a duo from Manchester who make a music that travels in cinematic melancholy and textural malaise. Their songs build slowly, emerging out of a flattened landscape of static and stillness to attain a quietly triumphal beauty. We'll hear them do it live for only the second time ever, in London on an Echoes Living Room Concert.

Working with a 28-piece Bombay string section and Indian classical musicians from Bombay and London, Garry Hughes and Andrew T.
