With his earnest brown suits, mournful eyes, and neat mustache, Ethan Lipton looks less like a silken-throated lounge lizard than he does a beaten-down ad salesman—an ordinary Joe singing gentle songs about everyday life. Backed by a tight three-piece jazz band, Lipton’s topics range from the frustrations of a pal who chooses a bad partner to the joys of looking groovy in your thrift-store pants. One tune consists entirely of a 15-second instrumental vamp ending with the line “I’ve got something for you … coffee breath!” Catch him on March 26 at Rockwood Music Hall or in April at Barbès in Park Slope.
