Bassist

Dubbed the city’s 'Best Lounge Act' by New York Magazine, Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra return to their NYC home venue to share songs new and old. The band have been playing their brand of jazz/folk/alternative nosh with a chewy singer-songwriter center for almost two decades. With melancholy wit and a cockeyed worldview, Lipton and bandmates Eben Levy (guitar), Ian Riggs (bass), and Vito Dieterle (sax) deliver original songs steeped in sincerity and satire. The band has appeared at Celebrate Brooklyn, MASS MOCA, Pitchfork Paris, Theate de la Ville, SF Jazz, All Tomorrow’s Parties, the Gate in London, and Grand Performances, and has been featured on NPR and in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” Lipton received one of Joe’s Pub’s first New York Voices commissions. The band won an Obie for its show “No Place to Go” and was nominated for a Lortel for “The Outer Space,” both produced by The Public Theater and directed by Leigh Silverman.
