“Fort Wayne singer-songwriter Ethan William Bowers makes music you could drop in the Americana slot, yet you'd be wrong to pigeonhole the music as just that. There's plenty of twang throughout his work, yet Bowers brings much more to the table than jangle and a tip of the cowboy hat. Either playing solo or with his collaborative band Ethan William Bowers & The Painted Strangers, Bowers brings powerful vocals, evocative lyrics, and a solid Midwest energy to the songs.”
