Howling from the frontlines of rural Pennsylvania comes a lad whose deceivingly young appearance masks a wealth of hard-won musical truths.
An arresting young folk singer, Ethan Jano’s guttural vocals and delivery feel akin to the dustbowl protest songs of the ’30s and ’50s which blended traditional folk with rhythm and blues; a musical style inherited from a working class life that he has always known. What separates Jano from the pack of current folkheads is his innate authenticity. He comes equipped with an intensity that, like his predecessors, is best delivered through sparse arrangements with a clear focus on the voice and message.
Take a listen to our exclusive premiere of his track “How You Should Be” off Jano’s debut album, I’ll Be Fine and hear the chugging rhythms of yesteryear paired with the bravado of a true, blue collar bard—one who authoritatively addresses unjust wars on both large and personal scales.
