Bio
Echo Maestro is bringing a fresh new approach to how live music is done down in the dirty South. Hailing from Atlanta Georgia, this three-piece live act is an ever-evolving collaboration featuring Riko Morrissette (also known as MaestroRiko) on lead vocals and keyboards, David Dollar on bass/rhythm synths/vocals, and Malcolm Smith on drums.. This act can’t be defined by a single genre; instead it creates one anew, uniting in a unique yet complex mixture of livetronica, soul, jam-fusion, jazz-swing, R&B and rap with a down-and-dirty, live percussion, space funk twist. Founded in January of 2016, Echo Maestro quickly went to work and began tracking their debut five-track EP “Bioresonant Therapy”, which released that fall. While working on the album, the band also made several live debut appearances around the Southeast, appearing at music festivals such as Moonshine, Timbuktu, and Arise, as well as playing headliner shows across Atlanta as well as in Tampa.
Echo Maestro is quickly resonating with new listeners, culminating in an excited energy that translates throughout the band’s live, often improv-based sets. Unlike many other current musical acts, Echo Maestro pulls off their signature blend of electronic space funk without the use of computers, further adding to the improv excitement of their live show while also ensuring that no two shows could ever be the same. Featuring both Morrissette and Dollar on vocals, Echo Maestro delivers multi-genre grooves with much-needed positivity in their lyrics, culminating in a perpetual blend of harmonic vibration that aims to unite all music scenes as one.
