Montreal is home base and where they’ve gained a loyal and devoted following over the years, playing on the folk/roots circuit. Their sound features haunting vocal harmonies on thoughtful lyrics, driving acoustic guitars and an eclectic rock ‘n roll groove; it can be classified as folk-rock, but with blues, gospel and country roots. They also have a quirky side and will cause an audience much mirth in the course of an evening….or weekend (they’re great at jams).Qui sont les Echos Hunters … Larry Cassini et Gordon Fleming sont les deux guitaristes fondateurs des Echo Hunters avec Sylvain Dancausse sur violin, du batteur –percussionniste Rob Couture et Carl Rufh sur Bass.
