Ehren Ebbage Interview And Album Review

Anyone who I have a had a conversation about music with in the past few months has heard me mention Ehren Ebbage. Ehren is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter that just released his debut full-length album Ten Cent Souvenir. He also just happens to be a member of my favorite Portland band, The Dimes. Before that, he was in Justin King's band, my favorite Eugene artist.


A couple of weeks ago I finally had the opportunity to interview Ehren at the Doug Fir with Gears and Leslie. We discussed his new album, his time with The Dimes, his experience with Epic Records, and his other band, The Floydian Slips. Johnny Clay of The Dimes also joined us to ask his band mate a couple of questions. The interview can be found on the Northwest Noise page at http://www.northwestnoise.com/interviews/ehren-ebbage-interview.

Leslie also reviewed Ten Cent Souvenir for the website. However, I have to say that I disagree with her on the song "Snakes," which happens to be one of my favorite tracks on the album. It's a beautiful track and I love the honestly in Ehren's voice. It's her first review for the site, so I can't give her too hard a time about it. :) http://www.northwestnoise.com/reviews/ehren-ebbage-ten-cent-souvenir

Ehren plays regular solo gigs at the Alberta St. Pub and the Buffalo Gap. If you haven't seen him yet, do yourself a big favor and check him out. He is also an active blogger and writes about his experiences as a struggling musician. The link is to the right in the "Respect" column, or you can link to it here: http://ehrenwords.blogspot.com/.
