Ethan Leinwand Duos

Ethan Leinwand is a St. Louis-based barrelhouse blues pianist and preservationist. A student of the music's rich history and varied regional styles, Ethan presents personal interpretations of many of the great (and forgotten) old-time masters. He specializes in St. Louis pre-war piano blues, Texas barrelhouse, Deep South barrelhouse, early Chicago boogie-woogie, and good-time hokum stride. His influences include: Jimmy Yancey, Henry Brown, Little Brother Montgomery, Peetie Wheatstraw, Aaron Pinetop Sparks, Albert Ammons, Black Bob, Cooney Vaughn, Professor Longhair, and Carl Sonny Leyland. Originally from Middletown, CT, Ethan has spent time living in New Orleans and Brooklyn. He moved to St. Louis in the summer of 2014, and, connecting with the city's thriving blues community and its deep piano blues heritage, he quickly became a mainstay. For this very special show Ethan will play half a set each with: The Tom Hall, Mat Wilson, Val Kirchhoff (Miss Jubilee), and Nick Pence. Don't miss this very special show
