January 30th (Saturday), 2010 - Steve and Cindy are back - Steve Gillette/Cindy Mangsen -
  www.compassrosemusic.com - want to hear the "real" story behind "Darcy Farrow" and such?? - 
these guys need no introduction

February 28th (Sunday), 2010  - Acoustic Eidolon and "a friend" - this time Joe and Hannah are 
bringing with them one of the folks they tour with in Europe, Thomas Loefke - he is the Celtic 
harpist from Berlin, Germany that they tour Europe with every October.  The show would still be 
based on Acoustic Eidolon's music, as they typically have Thomas join in on some of their tunes, 
play together on some of his tunes, and do a portion of the show just as Acoustic Eidolon, the duo.  
The show they do with him has a strong emphasis on the Celtic sound and is somewhat different 
than the normal AE show that they've done here in the past. 

It is a combination that has been earning them much acclaim in Europe over the last 7 years that 
they've been doing shows in collaboration with Thomas.  Joe and Hannah have brought him to the 
US for their big annual Colorado shows in the past, but would really like to share a tour with him 
and thought that the Florida venues would be a wonderful and appreciative place to showcase their 
European-version show with Thomas.

Thomas has multiple CDs available, and tours Europe with his group called Norland Wind, 
which features such acclaimed members as the Doogan brothers (Enya's uncles), and 
Maire Brennauch, the original fiddler from Riverdance.  He has won international awards for his 
Celtic harp artistry,
