Ethan W Olsen & Being

Ethan W. Olsen (aka Ethan WL) is a American-Primitive guitar player and filmmaker from Gloucester, Massachusetts. His works often explore the idea of place and its connection to one's personal history. In both film and music he favors long, contemplative pieces.

My God Is a Consuming Fire is Ethan’s 2nd LP for Carbon Records. His first, Blood Farm, received many accolades and airplay.Ethan continuously strives to bring the proficiency, creativity, and patience in his music to new levels.
"Homespun, hymnal, and hypnotic, Ethan W. Olsen’s My God is a Consuming Fire is a shapeshifting and vital work of contemporary six-string storytelling. The album’s centrepiece, a 15 minute piece called ‘The Ely War’ is a cathartic odyssey through the throat, belly, and bowels of the acoustic guitar." - Jesse Eckerlin
Beingis an acoustic music collective fronted by Jesse Sheppard and his daughter, Eva, featuring some of the greatest improvising experimental musicians in the Philadelphia music scene.
