"Hilarious, twisted, sophisticated, schleppy and sad all at once."
–NPR’s Weekend Edition
“It’s always enjoyable when a singer-songwriter throws some humor into his misery.”
–Time Out NY
“Ethan Lipton & his Orchestra are not your average band. They're not even your non-average band. They are out there. I'm talking past Pluto the non-planet out there. And that's a good thing.”
–Mainstream Isn't So Bad
Dubbed ‘Best Lounge Act of 2009’ by New York Magazine, Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra play a brand of uncategorizable folk/jazz/country/lounge- lizardry that's drawn comparisons to the music of Leon Redbone, They Might Be Giants, Randy Newman and Tom Waits. With melancholy wit and a hilariously cockeyed worldview, sepia-toned singer-songwriter Lipton and band mates Eben Levy (guitar), Ian Riggs (bass) and Vito Dieterle (sax) deliver songs steeped in sincerity and soul. The band has appeared at Celebrate Brooklyn, MASS MOCA, Bryant Park, the Camden Opera House, Tangier (LA), Vermont Arts Exchange, and has been featured on NPR and radio stations around the country.
This show previews the release of Honker, the band’s fourth album, which was financed entirely by its fans through the fundraising website Kickstarter. Expect special guests and warm fuzzies.
