Inn Echo (CAN)
After six years touring across three continents and earning nominations from the JUNOs, ECMAs, and CFMAs, Inn Echo has firmly established themselves as a dynamic force in modern trad music. Based in Prince Edward Island, the trio—Karson McKeown (Ottawa, ON), Tuli Porcher (Victoria, BC), and Tom Gammons (Butte, MT)—blends fiddle, cello, and guitar into a sound that’s both rooted and boundary-pushing.
Their journey began not in a classroom, but at a pub session in Charlottetown, where instant musical chemistry sparked. Since then, they’ve brought their vibrant, contemporary take on traditional music to major festivals like Woodford (Australia) and Shetland (Scotland).
Each member brings a distinct musical voice: Karson’s powerful fiddle, Tuli’s adventurous shifts between lead and harmony, and Tom’s rhythmic guitar grounding it all. Their 2023 album ‘Hemispheres’, produced by Jake Charron and Donnie Richard, pays tribute to the places they’ve travelled while carrying the soul of PEI. With original compositions and reimagined traditional tunes, Inn Echo invites listeners into a rich, evolving story—one told through strings, energy, and heart.
