Dubbed 'Best Lounge Act of 2009' by New York Magazine, Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra play an edgy brand of jazz/folk/alternative nosh with a chewy singer-songwriter center.
With melancholy wit and a cockeyed worldview, sepia-toned frontman Lipton and band mates Eben Levy (guitar), Ian Riggs (bass) and Vito Dieterle(sax) deliver songs steeped in mixed-message 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.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
THURSDAY OCTOBER 15th @ 9:30 PM
Audience Advisory: Joe’s Pub seating is communal, which means you may have other guests at your table. Please note there is a $12 food minimum or two drink minimum per person.
As a courtesy to the artists we recommend arriving no later than thirty minutes before show time. Reservations are now made when tickets are purchased, it is no longer necessary to call the Pub for reservations. Seating for each show begins when doors open for that performance
"Ethan Lipton is to lounge lizardry what Peter Sellers's Inspector Clouseau is to policing, presenting his singular, funny-miserable take on life via jazzy, brass-festooned songs. It's good stuff."
"Sweet melodies, songs that are both intricate and immediate, hilarious moments, heartbreaking moments, a great band, and a charismatic performer up front to deliver it all."
