Peaks Island House Concert – Ethan Setiawan
Aug 4 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Ethan Setiawan will be performing at the Fifth Maine Museum!

Originally from Goshen, Indiana, Ethan Setiawan tried out numerous instruments before finding his way to the mandolin.  “I played the cello, and tried out banjo and ukulele as a kid”, he explains, “But I really liked the mandolin, it was small but packed a bigger punch than the ukulele. Anyway, that was the one that stuck”, he laughs.  Years later, Setiawan has a command of the instrument far beyond his twenty-five years, and has won both the National Mandolin Championship at Winfield, KS and the Rockygrass Mandolin Championship.  On his new album, “Gambit”, Setiawan takes the calculated musical risks of a seasoned player.  He moves aptly between stylistic influences, harkening back to the experimental string band music pioneered in the early 80s while presenting entirely original compositions.
