Band Leader

Tautologic
An eclectic, adventurous, forward-thinking, brainy, ironic project that dabbles in just about every style you can imagine. We've done two rock theater and multi-media productions and are working on more. I'm fortunate to be able to work with such fantastic musicians.

I also play solo and small acoustic ensemble gigs with members of Tautologic.

We do occasionally work as a "backing band for hire" for singer-songwriters who need a studio or live band, generally as an extension of my production work. E-mail for rates and more info.

  Past:

Ethan Sellers Band - An eclectic roots-oriented folk-rock band with a world beat influence, political conscience, and a party attitude. We decided to put the project on hiatus when we learned that one of our members was moving. It was a good ride, though! Most of ESB's repertoire has since found its way into Tautologic set lists, and it is more likely than not that Tautologic will finish the recording project that ESB began.

Soul Calculus - A free-form jazz-rock improvisation project, featuring several members of Tautologic. We didn't really have any songs, although there were certain pet licks and motives that periodically re-surfaced to form the basis of some jams. The group dissolved when its members got busy with other projects, but its free-wheeling approach is something I wouldn't mind re-visiting where appropriate.

Grand Unified Theory - My college band. I've seen several bands with the same name since then, but in 1993-1995 or so, we were the only one. As you might guess from the name, we were a band of big ideas - and not much experience. Ah, youth - what better time to learn how not to do things?
