Energetic. Emotional. Enigmatic. Many musicians proclaim originality as their forte, but Ethan Kellers star qualities truly cannot be pigeonholed. Swimming & screaming over dreamy chords produced by fingers that seem to flow over the fret board, his vocals soothe you and shake you in the same stanza. His love of jazz is the bedrock upon which layers of upbeat rock & pop are built. Hip-hop outcrops jut out of a vast landscape entrenched with deep roots of homegrown folk singers; both featuring poetry filled with simultaneous melancholy & inspiration. His sober, somber explorations of truth & turmoil do not depress, but uplift and illuminate like a beacon of hope. Kellers solo debut, Face Light is 12 tracks of raw, pure, spirit & soul. Ethan Keller is a Midwest pioneer. Writing since age 9, touring since 13, and promoting since 18, Keller built a scene in his southeastern Wisconsin hometown, quickly permeated the Milwaukee sound, and then took to the road. Since 1995, he has sold over 6000 albums and made over 1000 appearances in 35 states, including many prestigious venues & industry showcases (SXSW, NACA, NEMO, EATM, MFNW, MMC). Winning Jim Beam National Band Search in 2001 and sharing the stage with a plethora of diverse acts (Glenn Tilbrook, Night Ranger, Umphreys McGee, Better than Ezra, Lucky Boys Confusion), performances on national T.V. (MTV, Jenny Jones), and the relentless perseverance on the road, continually increase Ethan Kellers outreach.
