What kind of music do you play?
Our music is a passionate love affair between acoustic rock and soulful
folk, blending intricate guitar work, luscious harmonies, and
thought-provoking lyrics. We play some classic covers here and there
because they're great songs and say it so well; you might hear something
such as "Mountains of Things" by Tracy Chapman, "Better Man" by Keb'
Mo', or "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell. But we've written a bunch of
original songs that we feel really tell it like it is. Some have a serious
message and some will leave you laughing...
What kind of groups do you perform for?
We perform in listening rooms and house concerts, for workshops,
colleges, and national parks, at conferences and festivals, and for little
kids and adult kids too.
What's an Eco-Tone, Anyway?
The official definition of an "ecotone" according to Wikipedia "is the
transition area between two ecological communities or ecosystems." A
shoreline is an example of an ecotone, as is the place where a forest and
meadow meet. These areas are often characterized by greater diversity
where species from each community can interact.
We define our version of "Eco-Tones" as the place where our passions for
music and the environment intersect. In our performances we encourage
a holistic approach to sustainability that weaves together elements that
are typically kept separate: music and education, humor and substance,
introspection and action, personal values and global impact.
We also see our Eco-Tones performances as a chance to discover
lifestyles and practices that support mutually beneficial interactions, for
our ecosystems, for their multitude of inhabitants, and ourselves. During
our shows we also love to connect with our audience whenever possible
and invite them to meet each other in an authentic and playful way. By
doing this we can create our own kind of ecotone.
