Interview with multi-instrumentalist Ethan Teel from The Owl-Eyes

October 22, 2014

Young men and women are not as passionate as they used to be, etc “.

I know a young man who is amazingly talented and passionate in all that he does, that I would like to place in the spotlight and let the world enjoy his great gift of music and that young man is Ethan Teel. The solo project of Ethan is The Owl-Eyes and earlier this year he released his debut EP, Wild Child. Ethan displays his great affection for various genres of music as he experiments with everything from pop, jazz, heavy metal, alternative, metalcore, hip-hop, punk, and so [Read More]
