Shortie: Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra

Ethan Lipton and His Orchestra write music steeped in 20th-century American traditions—jazz, folk, country, blues, and rock—but tackle modern subjects with urgency, humor, and a well of deep feeling. The quartet has released four studio albums with their fifth album "Did You Do The Thing We Talked About?" dropping Feb. 16. We chat with Ethan about the album, the group's name, what else is happening in 2024 and more.
