Ethan Samuel Brown is a singer-songwriter from the coal-dusted hills of Kentucky. He spent a decade in Nashville wearing various hats in the music biz. His sound lands somewhere between the introspective folk-rock of Christian Lee Hutson and the piano-driven pop sensibilities of Ben Folds. His delicate guitar work and sharp lyrical wit have drawn comparisons to James Taylor and Leonard Cohen, with a voice that's a blend of Appalachian grit and Nashville polish.
