Following an August residency at Hotel Café, LA-based singer-songwriter Ethan Gruska is back on the road in North America for a tour with Asgeir before embarking on a 20+ date tour with Ray LaMontagne this October and November. See a full list of dates below. To coincide with yesterday's tour kickoff in Vancouver, Ethan's El Rey Theatre performance in Los Angeles of "The Egoist" and "Time Is The Healer" was featured on Last Call With Carson Daly last night. Ethan has also shared his intimate Found Sound session of "The Valley," an acoustic series that has featured The Lone Bellow and Lucius, among others.

https://youtu.be/_6o5KtOY008Los Angeles Times declares, "L.A.'s next great singer-songwriter? It might be Ethan Gruska" and goes on to praise his recently released debut, Slowmotionary, stating that the album "showcases an assured songwriter with an inventive melodic flair and some heavy things to say about love and family." Meanwhile, The Sunday Times attests, "The combination of his tremulous high tenor voice, soul-baring lyrics, spare but richly textured instrumentation and chord progressions that nod to Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Randy Newman and Elliott Smith produces music of startling beauty and emotional resonance."
Gruska first emerged onto the scene as part of the brother/sister duo, The Belle Brigade, which he formed with his sister, Barbara Gruska in 2011. As the grandchildren of award-winning composer, John Williams, the sibling pair comes from a strong upbringing in music. In addition, Gruska co-produced Phoebe Bridgers' new album, Stranger In The Alps, which has earned early acclaim fromNPR, Under The Radar, Stereogum, and more.
