Groove125 West 3rd Street, New York 10012
Ethan Eubanks leads “Bill, Still,” a Bill Withers celebration built to give the songs the care Eubanks feels they deserve. The band approaches Withers’ catalog as he and his own group played it in the 1970s, with hits alongside selected B-sides. Eubanks plays drums, joined by Kevin Jenkins on vocals and guitar, Andy Hess on bass, Al Street on guitar, and Andrew Sherman on keys.
A drummer, producer and songwriter raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Eubanks has spent most of his adult life in New York. He has also played on critically acclaimed releases by Teddy Thompson.
