My guest this week on the podcast is Ethan Sherman. Hailed by no less than Julian Lage as \u201ca shining light of our community\u201d, guitarist & composer Ethan Sherman moves between a wide variety of musical worlds with uncommon ease and a deeply personal sound.\xa0\nAs a bandleader and collaborator, he\u2019s quietly been building a singular body of work orbiting the acoustic music community for many years. His latest release \u201cIndoor Vistas\u201d is a pandemic-fueled surrealist take on the modern stringband; Bluegrass Unlimited called it \u201cfirst-class picking\u201d and it\u2019s been played on radio shows from Atlanta to Australia.\nAs a sideman, he has toured with artists like Americana icons The Wailin\u2019 Jennys and 5-time Grammy winner Michael Bubl\xe9. In addition, he\u2019s recorded and performed around his home of Los Angeles with artists as diverse as Nels Cline, Harrison Whitford, Sean & Sara Watkins, Patrick Shiroishi, Lou Roy, Johanna Samuels, Lulu Simon, and Ed Helms.

He is also a committed educator, co-authoring (with Adam Levy) String Theories: Tips, Challenges & Reflections for the Lifelong Guitarist. \nPurchase his new album Passages HERE!
