Can’t wait to Hear More

I met Ethan at a Lindy Hop workshop weekend a few years ago when he performed with a swing and ragtime band. I have followed him on Facebook where he posts cool videos.
When I heard about her Pianodrome performances at Charlotte Shout!, I went to one on on a very cold and rainy night. Wow, was it worth it! The unique venue and Ethan being his thoroughly entertaining self was fun. I bought his CD and count myself among his fans. Now I’m going back to the beginning of the Carolina Shout podcast to listen to them all. Highly recommend!! 🎹🕺🎩❤️👍🏼

I bought a Mac just so I could rate this show

The music performances are just incredible, and Mr Uslan is a joy to listen to as he talks about the songs he performs.

Delightful

I love this podcast Delightful in every way It manages to make me smile amidst pandemic disease, civil upheaval, rampant wildfires, economic turmoil... If this wonderful music and Ethan’s talent and sense of humor can sparkle and thrive right now, there’s hope for us yet.
