about

Just off a worldwide 3-band tour with pop Icons Joe Jackson and Todd Rundgren performing for screaming crowds, Ethel takes the category "crossover" to new levels in this CD featuring favorites from their road-tested repertoire.

The long-awaited follow-up to their highly-acclaimed Cantaloupe debut has the string foursome veering in a new direction. Robust Americana and fiddle tunes from across the world, originals and new comissions fill a CD that's as danceable as it is thought-provoking.

About Light:

"Downtown darlings Ethel must be having fun playing in a string quartet. How else to explain all those car noises, footsteps, bird chirps, parrot talk, cowboy yelps, rooster crows, cat meows and strains of Marvin Gaye, Texas swing, Brazilian folk and Appalachia on the group's new CD, Light? That's light as in light, fun-loving music."
- New York Press

"Ethel is a genre unto itself."
- AM New York

Sound from the Bench
by Ted Hearne & The Crossing

supported by 35 fans who also own “Light”

Ted Hearne is rapidly becoming one of my favorite musical voices in Classical composition. Bold, ragged, and exhilarating, his works give the genre an edge it so desperately needs! The track 'Sound From The Bench 3. (Ch)Oral Argument' almost encroaches into RIO territory! Anthony Owsley
