Two musicians share Thursday Town Hall Concert Series stage
Jeff Brassell and Ethan Setiawan will share the stage of the Bluffton Town Hall Concert Series at 7 p.m., Thursday, March 23.
Wendy Chappell-Dick describes the musicians this way:
Brassell is a self-made singer-songwriter raised in Bluffton, who describes himself as a blue collar “regular kind of guy” and strives to reflect everyday life in his music.
An acoustic mandolin player, Ethan Setiawan performs on mandocello and electric mandolin.
He’s situating funk and jazz on wooden instruments; one such outlet is the Ethan Setiawan Band, a group of musicians from Goshen, Indiana, performing Setiawan’s music as well as “music not meant for the mandolin.”
He’s also a member of Boston-based bluegrass groove band OctoPladd. During high school, Setiawan won the 2014 National Mandolin Championship.
He attends Berklee College of Music on a full scholarship.
The Town Hall Concert Series takes place in the third floor of the Bluffton town hall, 154 N. Main St., It has free admission, and a donation is taken to pay the musicians.
