The allure of a vibrant traditional music scene brought Karson McKeown (Ottawa, ON), Tuli Porcher (Victoria, BC) and Tom Gammons (Butte, MT) to Prince Edward Island. Despite attending the same music school in Charlottetown, they met in a more typical folky way: at a session in a local pub. Instantly, tunes, stories, and laughs were being shared, and they felt a sense that their passions aligned. Inn Echo emerged in 2019, a transcontinental love story between fiddle, cello and guitar.
Their 2023 release, Hemispheres, is a tribute to the places they’ve toured, carrying a piece of their home with them. Produced by Jake Charron and Donnie Richard, the album has the island at heart. But the tracks invoke a range of images: an Acadian kitchen party on Breton Tune, the night sky in Queensland on Jupiter and Mars, or Tuli’s childhood home on Vancouver Island on Big Blue. Music PEI award-winning and CFMA and ECMA nominated, Inn Echo have stories to share and many more to come.
