Ethan Hazzard-Watkins - In the Window

Ethan Hazzard-Watkins lives in Brattleboro, VT and spends a good deal of time traveling the countryside playing his fiddle. Ethan has performed for Contra and English dances; as an accompanist with singer-songwriters; and in festivals, concerts, and sessions throughout the U.S. and Europe. His highly-danceable fiddling fuses contemporary and traditional Irish, New England, and French Canadian influences. In the Window contains a selection of traditional and original tunes, including several of Ethan's own compositions, arranged to highlight the diverse musical ideas that grow out of the New England contra dance tradition.
