Dubbed the city’s “Best Lounge Act” by New York Magazine, Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra return to the Pub to play songs from their upcoming fifth studio album, Did You Do The Thing We Talked About?

For nearly two decades, this quartet has been playing an incomparable brand of jazz/folk/alternative nosh with a chewy singer-songwriter center. 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 mixed-message sincerity and soul. The band has appeared at such venues as Celebrate Brooklyn, MASS MOCA, Pitchfork Paris, SF Jazz, ATP, and London’s Gate Theatre, and made appearances on NPR and in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” A winner of the 2023 Kleban Prize and a 2023 Creative Capital Grantee, Lipton received one of Joe’s Pub’s first New York Voices commissions, and the band premiered its musicals “No Place to Go” (Obie award) and “The Outer Space” (Lortel nom.) on its stages.



“Hilarious… twisted, sophisticated, schleppy and sad all at once...songs that take the mundane of life and twist it." - NPR
