Summary: Constructing a play and songwriting have a lot in common, and for Ethan Lipton it's the basis of his creative being - that, and his gut-busting humor. A background in musical theatre helps Lipton weave weird and unique stories backed by his pop/jazz quartet. The group has been together since 2005 and has been named New York's "Best Lounge Act" by New York Magazine. Lipton has also won an Obie Award for No Place to Go, a theatrical song cycle about a man outsourced to Mars, which occasioned their memorable last visit to Soundcheck. Today they join us to mark the release of their fourth studio album, Raw Milk.
