Post-modern crooner Ethan Lipton writes sidesplitting songs of love, loss and alienation among the invisible classes. Often compared to Tom Lehrer and Randy Newman, Ethan's tunes have thrilled crowds around New York and beyond with their unpredictable wit and unreliable narrators.
NPR's Weekend Edition called his songs "twisted, dark, sophisticated, hilarious, schleppy and sad all at once," and Popmatters celebrated a "sardonic voice that offers an unlikely kind of comfort against the vagaries of everyday life." Ethan's debut CD A New Low has developed a cult following, and will be followed this September by the release of his sophomore effort, Baby, I Feel the Same Way.
