ABOUT ETHAN

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, attended Brown University in Rhode Island (love the chicken wings from "Wings To Go"), and recorded my first CD "A Locked Box Of Treasure" in 1999. I recorded the CD in the low-tech backyard studio of a guy in Fremont, California, a town probably best known as the home of MC Hammer. I wrote the songs for "Locked Box" throughout high school and college, and the oak tree on the cover is my favorite tree in Briones Regional Park. The CD features mostly acoustic guitar tracks as well as some bass and electric guitar and alto saxophone.

After "Locked Box," I moved to Santa Monica and kept performing and writing songs there. In 2006, I finished up my second CD "Tales From California." The record is my musical tribute to California and its history, as well as its hot springs, mountains, deserts, islands and beaches. I played almost all the instruments although I had help from the studio engineer who played some percussion (this time I recorded the CD in a backyard studio in Woodland Hills).

Currently I play gigs whenever I can, continue to promote the record on the internet, and jam out with my toddler son. I think he's going to be a percussionist, judging by the banging.

Take care and thanks for listening!
