Hailed by no less than Julian Lage as “a shining light of our community”, guitarist & composer Ethan Sherman moves between a wide variety of musical worlds with uncommon ease and a deeply personal sound. As a bandleader and collaborator, he's led intrepid electric-guitar trios showcasing spare yet expansive original music (“Building Blocks”, 2017), and sunk his teeth into acoustic music through collaborations with Ben Garnett (“Stereoscope”, 2019) and the one-of-a-kind Harmolodic String Band, a bicoastal quartet that released two EPs performing the music of Ornette Coleman on bluegrass instruments. (“The Shape of Grass to Come”, 2018). His latest release “Indoor Vistas” is a pandemic-fueled surrealist take on the modern stringband; Bluegrass Unlimited called it “first-class picking” and it’s earned radio play from Atlanta to Australia. As a sideman, he’s recorded and performed around his home of Los Angeles with artists as diverse as Nels Cline, Harrison Whitford, Patrick Shiroishi, Lou Roy, Adam Levy, Johanna Samuels, Dan Wilson, Lulu Simon, and Ed Helms. He is currently touring with Michael Bublé.
