Ethan Lipton and His Orchestra

“Tender, wise and occasionally hostile, Ethan’s like the tipsy uncle at the family reunion who spills the shameful family secrets—it’s uncomfortable but hilarious, and everyone feels better once the truth is out.” New York Times

Tickets: $45 (fees not included)

The band’s music is steeped in 20th-Century American traditions—jazz, folk, country, blues and rock—but tackles modern subjects with urgency, humor, and a well of deep feeling.

It all adds up to a cockeyed view of an odd, disjointed age.
