He is the recipient of a 2008 NYFA grant for playwriting and was chosen to be part of the Public Theater’s Emerging Writers Group for 2008. His play Luther will be performed as part of the Lark Play Development Center’s Playwright’s Week Festival. With his band, the Ethan Lipton Orchestra, he’s played all over New York, Los Angeles, and the Northeast. He has released two live CDs on indie label Home Office Records and one studio album on his own Muckraker Records.
