Forget genres for a second, forget pigeonholes or styles. Echo Town lives in a world of its own. The musical chemistry between these brothers, Richard and Robert Harrison, shouts louder than any genre ever could. Witnessing these two working-class Yorkshire boys bounce around, smiling and loving the jams they produce, is enough to captivate their audience. 

 

They have begun describing their musical style as ADHD, a mash-up of so many genres and styles. They can never commit to one specific sound. Richard can’t concentrate on one genre, and Robert can’t sit still. This creates something for everyone, and they consistently find a diverse demographic at their live shows as a consequence. Drawing on the bands of the 60s and 70s, Echo Town like to incorporate improvised musical excursions, drum solos, and off-the-cuff jams to keep each show fresh for them. 

 

Relocating from Yorkshire to Cornwall in 2015, Echo Town began to tour extensively, performing at numerous festivals including Glastonbury and Boomtown. They packed out venues across mainland Europe and have performed at some of the most renowned festivals over there, including Montreux Jazz Festival. 

 

In 2020, their social media presence was hacked. This didn’t deter the band, and they decided to rebuild their online presence from the ground up in 2022 after a brief hiatus. If you like what they do please share their links with your friends and family!

 

In an effort to combat the rise of Artificial Intelligence in music and art, Echo Town have made a sworn promise to never use it in their creative endeavours. They are firm believers that it is the imperfections that make humans truly beautiful and authentic. Every song and every melody is crafted from a place of genuine emotion and lived experience. 

 

Additional to the music, Robert works as a personal trainer, specialising in animal flow movement and mobility. He can be found on Instagram as @rh_movement.
