Echo Town

Richard (23) and Robert (20) are brothers and best friends.

They make up the two members of the band Echo Town. For bigger shows and festivals they invite in a third member to play bass guitar. In order to promote their music, Echo Town travel around busking and performing in various cities.

On the street, Richard plays the acoustic guitar, Weissenborn lap slide guitar and a home made stomp box. Robert plays the drums and percussion with a unique street kit using a 100 year old suitcase as a bass drum. They play a collection of their own songs as well as numerous instrumentals, throwing in the odd not so well known cover. But most of the time they just jam and improvise because it's all about having fun and not being too serious.

Echo Town have released the five track EP "Ric & Rob: Waiting" available for purchase from the iTunes store, their website http://www.echotown.co.uk as well as Amazon. Search "Ric & Rob" on iTunes.

Ric and Rob are from Leeds and they travel around and play in a number of cities and towns and spread some good vibes. There's nothing that makes them happier than seeing smiling faces on the street as people sit and listen to what they play.

Their acoustic music is influenced primarily by Australian artists such as Xavier Rudd, The John Butler Trio, Ash Grunwald and The Beautiful Girls. They are also inspired by nature, surfing, good friends, good times and the good things in life.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Echo Town in Competition to Open for Ben Howard and Xavier Rudd

Submitted by echotown on 4 November, 2010 - 11:46

Echo Town have entered a competition to open for Ben Howard and Xavier Rudd. Echo Town feel as if they would immediately create an upbeat feelgood atmosphere that would get the crowd warmed up and motivated for the excellent music to follow.
For a long time now Echo Town have been huge Xavier Rudd fans and met and talked with him and Izintaba back in August in Brighton. They also had the priveledge of exchanging a few words about surf, life and music with Ben Howard.
It would truly be an honour for Echo Town to share the stage with these awesome inspirational musicians, who are not only passionate about music, but also the environment.
