PEI's Inn Echo is emerging as one of the traditional music scene’s most electrifying new acts. Consisting of concertina player Gormlaith Maynes, guitarist Tom Gammons, fiddler Karson McKeown, and fiddler/cellist Tuli Porcher, the band is the culmination of four unique musical backgrounds from across Canada, the United States, and Ireland. Their music adds a touch of the modern to typical styles and sounds of the indie and jazz styles, yet remains true to the fun and energetic spirit of traditional music.
