Ethan provided the entertainment for the cocktail hour at my wedding and I have heard him sing on other occasions. Not only is he professional and reliable, he is extremely talented as well. He played to my requests while also giving the performance his own uniqueness, and had the guests engaged! I would recommend him to anyone!
Singing Guitarist, One Man Band, Wedding Singer
I hired Ethan to record a slowed down version of a song for my husband and I to do our first dance at our wedding. It turned out even better than expected. Ethan was professional and timely with his work, he sent a first draft version to make sure it was what we were looking for, and asked our input. I was so impressed with the first draft that I would have been happy if that was the final version. It truly made our wedding day so special and we received so many compliments on having a unique version of a well known song. I would highly recommend Ethan- he is extremely talented!

What to Expect
Ethan provides a solo performance that can focus on an acoustic blend of mellow folk, indie, and pop tunes, or alternatively a more ambient/psychedelic set involving echoey electric guitar played with a loop pedal and ~reverby~ vocals. The performance can be described as melodramatic, with soft love songs and ambient guitar loops. Access to at least one grounded outlet is required, unless the performance is completely acoustic, which he is open to! Ethan's covers and originals are performed with notes of warmth and melancholy, softness and nostalgia.
About
Ethan has been an instrumentalist since he was a young kid. He played the tuba and upright bass in the school band, and when he went off to college he began to explore songwriting and solo performance. Soon finding a passion for music recording, Ethan began producing solo projects and gigging around the Boston area until he moved to Brooklyn in 2020.
