Ethan Eckenroad is a modern folk singer-songwriter from the foothills of the Appalachians in Pennsylvania. With lyrics that are raw, honest, and inspired by real life, Ethan’s hope and passion is to write music that connects people to people and motivates them to live a life worth living.

For almost 7 years, Ethan was the music director and worship leader at a local church. In 2022, when the church sadly shut down, he decided to move in a different direction with his music and fell in love with storytelling through songwriting.

Ethan prefers smaller venues and theaters where he can better connect with people and create more memorable moments alongside them. Ethan, his wife Savannah, and his daughter Josephine have set up shop close to their families in his hometown in Pennsylvania.

Who Are The Evergreens?

We're an indie folk duo hailing from Johnstown, Pennsylvania. As full-time musicians, we perform at a wide variety of special events and locations across Pennsylvania and surrounding states (but we're always up for traveling further)!

So why did we choose the name, 'The Evergreens?' While we do love Christmas and the smell of cedar, we call ourselves The Evergreens because of the songs we play. We cover hits that have stood the test of time and have never “gone out of season” - much like evergreen trees. We put our own indie/folk twist on hits ranging from the 1950s-the 1990s (with a few modern songs in the mix). This allows us to connect with all people in an audience - young and old.

Performing Oct 4 (2-3pm) and Oct 11 (12-1pm) in the Town Square under the traffic light at Juliana and Penn Streets.

I was blown away the first time I heard the way Zac turned a good song he’d written into his own unique brand of rock-infused country and knew there was something very special about him. His years as a drummer support his songwriting and music production choices and are a big part of his ability to bring something new to the country music landscape. Having the opportunity to be a part of his journey in this business is a privilege,” says Nashville Cool! Partner, Nancy Deckant.

Grace says, “Getting a publishing deal is a career milestone. I owe so much credit to the co-writers that have shown me the ropes and my friends and family back home in Central Pennsylvania that has supported me this far. Being signed with Nashville Cool! allowed me to set my sights on many bigger things.” Grace was the first artist/writer signed to Nashville Cool.
