Ekho Duo

EKHO DUO has a huge range of styles that can fit almost any event, they bring energy and passion with every stroke of the bow and love what they do. From corporate events to weddings to clubs EKHO DUO satisfies every need.

EKHO Duo is Shane Borth, violin and Ben Muñoz, cello. The two met back in 2006 while on the teaching staff at Ottawa Suzuki String’s Sound Encounters, a premiere strings workshop. Their similar tastes in music and penchant for performing music outside of strictly classical let them strike up a friendship while they were living in different cities, Shane in Kansas City, MO and Ben in Pittsburg, PA. Every so often they would perform together in Kansas City but finally teamed up in Miami Beach, Florida, while performing together for a one year residency at the Faena Hotel in the Quixotic produced cabaret show, “Samsara.” While there, Shane and Ben began to rehearse and develop a unique sound, combining classical know-how with rock attitude, blending the two styles into something energetic, elegant and modern on ancient instruments. EKHO fuses rock, pop, classical and world styles with recognizable songs that their audiences can enjoy.

EKHO DUO is versatile in their technical needs. They are able to play acoustic or plugged in as needed and they can provide a PA, lighting and all equipment needed for a small to medium size event.
