Ethan promotes his superb "Don Quixote of Suburbia" album, which features
Eddie Harsch (from The Black Crowes)
His new release on Times Beach, "Don Quixote de Suburbia," continues a journey through all of American Popular Culture, starting with Folk through the territories of Gospel, Jazz, Country, Blues, Rock n' Roll, Punk, Hip-Hop, Americana, etc. His "lifetime o'travel" has influenced not only his taste in music, but also his style. Often overtly political ("I was always a fan of the more socially conscious punk bands, like Minor Threat and the Dead Kennedys."), at other times purely romantic, Ethan has a habit of wearing his heart on his sleeve. "I was always a big fan of the Beatles," he says. "(I liked) that their music got to be beyond 'entertainment,' (they) were expressing a fuller range of human problems, and had more of a social consciousness. Audiences aren't used to hearing that these days, so they don't know how to handle it." He goes on to say that he tries " not to show too many opinions, but stick to honest-to-God facts. I don't hear too many artists today dealing with politics. (But that's) a dreadfully important thing, really."
