Echo's Bones

Echo’s Bones is an improvising woodwind trio based in the San Francisco Bay Area. They have been improvising together for 7 years, making music that has been described as: “Avant pastoralism in a chamber music mode” (Eric Whittington - bon vivant; proprietor, Bird & Beckett); and “Mesmerizing serpentine yeti music” (Dave Mihaly - drummer, composer, leader of Shimmering Leaves). They have performed at Medicine For Nightmares, Mosswood Sound Series, SIMM Series, Bird & Beckett, Tom’s Place and San Francisco Public Libraries. A recording of their Mosswood show is on the SF Public Libraries Bay Beats website.
