Ethan Stone

Video Description:
Ethan performing "Ain't That The Way" at LATV Studio. Songwriter / recording artist Ethan Stone hails from Athol, MA. A rocker at heart, he also bleeds traces of jazz, funk, soul, pop, acoustic, and other sounds. Stone claims Thelonius Monk, Jimmy Smith, Billy Joel, Beck, Tom Petty, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Radiohead, Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan, Soulive and "millions of others" have molded the keyboardist/vocalist/guitarist into his enigmatic style. Though Stone often builds his songs around messages of humanitarianism, he also takes a poke at the status quo, often mixing uplifting musical textures with harsh, devastatingly honest lyrics of disillusionment. Ethan Stone has earned a reputation for putting on marathon, sweat-drenched rock concerts. He released his debut single, "Too Late" in January, 2006. With a full-length CD to come in 2007, Stone performs exclusively in venues where alcohol is not consumed. "My mission is simple, to make the world a better place through my music, in the largest degree possible. If I'm going to be selling something with my music, its not going to be alcohol. I've been there, done that, and want no part of it, ever again," says Stone. Since leaving the bar life behind for good in 2004, Ethan has worked hard to stimulate his craft and invest in his community. He has created and performed at countless alcohol-free benefit concerts and festivals. Ethan has also been the driving force behind Tool Town Live!, a series of concerts held in several small towns in central MA, benefitting the Public Library and other non-profit organizations. "Ethan Stone approaches music from a whole different direction than most musicians. He neatly fits into every possible category without trying to fit into any."
-Paul Zimmerman, First Coast News, Jacksonville, FL

ow one person can contain so much talent and not EXPLODE defies explanation?! His drive to do it 'right' makes listening fun, and an adventure. His live performances are mesmerizing, and you'll come away glad you went in the first place!" -Jay Deane, President, WJDF 97.3FM "Just when I was getting
ready to stop listening to rock demo's, Ethan's appeared... 'WOW', I'm hooked !!!" -Producer, Co-founder of Moxie Music USA / Overtom Music, Thomas O'Keefe

I don't know if Ethan had any roots there, but his attire does look familiar...Music with guitar and vocal seems to be pub based but a unique voice with alot of gut emotion.
