Hot Acoustics has rewarded my attention for nearly half a century now and their longevity is no coincidence.  It’s a testament to these two musician’s inspired chemistry, raw energy and idiosyncratic approach to their instruments.  Their original catalogue has always been the primary draw for me, but there’s also no denying they possess boundless ability at creating cover interpretations distinctly their own.  Few duos that ever were can claim the same, but then again, shattering listener’s expectations has been Gary and Alyce’s modus operandi all along.

Mike Tripp sez....

Gary and Alyce are the real deal, delivering unique takes on awesome covers and original music that will stay with you like you’ve been listening to it forever. Moving you both lyrically and musically. Hot Acoustics will always make you think, smile and stomp your feet!

from Jonathan Winalski

Hot Acoustics have a powerful yet effortless sound that flows directly from their souls into yours. Each concert experience is unique and exciting.

Y’ve enjoyed my listening experience every time when Alyce and Gary play.  Their excitement reveals itself quickly. The audience would be moving and shaking and singing along. Love it! T he music is fast and exciting and vibrates as we take it all in. I’ve enjoyed their talents for years! 

Bill Kinsella says.....

I’ve been a fan of Hot Acoustics since  the late 1980s.  As an avid fan of well made string music and a player myself, they have always grabbed my ear.   Gary and Alyce are creative singer, songwriters and very sophisticated players. Always a joy to see when they hit a local venue !!

John Yungk

I always, always enjoy Hot Acoustics shows, either when they’re opening for other performers or especially when they’re headliners. I love Gary and Alyce’s interaction the audience and combined their eclectic selection of originals and covers, they always weave together a terrific evening of music.

At home on any stage, in front of any audience, Hot Acoustics can be counted on to win over fans in short order. At home in most any genre, it becomes obvious that these are two very seasoned musicians that form a very cohesive unit, contrasting while complimenting each other’s licks.

When I first saw this duet, many years ago, I was immediately impressed by the unique sound of the electric violin mixing with the guitar rhythms and soothing vocals. After many years, their musical talent and interpretation has brought a different twist to so many of the familiar songs I grew up with that I now often hear their versions in my head. Wonderful people and great performers who can always command any crowd in any venue big or small. Can’t wait until I can see them again!

“I have been a fan of Hot Acoustics since the 1970s. They ALWAYS grab people’s attention right away, are immensely entertaining start to finish, and quickly form a rapport with their audience, which carries on throughout the show. Their sound and delivery are top-notch professional, and above all, they are about a good time, which always shines through in the way they perform!”
