Three weeks on and the launch of local Radio Station “BOPFM” (105.4FM) has been a huge success. Playing a range of hit songs, and broadcasting to the entire Bay Of Plenty region, the dream has become a reality for Jarra Borman, Jesse Archer, and Bing Crosby. Managing Director “Jarra” wanted...

Today is a very sad day for the world, with the passing of Michael Jackson, the worlds best performer, and a musician that was lucky enough to experience changing the way the world looks at music. The only other person to be able to really achieve this would have been Elvis Presley. Although I am on...

As most everyone will be aware now we have been focussing very hard on Ethan’s Reverb Nation site. Only last week we announced that his music was screaming up the charts, and we were all so excited that the countless hours of effort was starting to show some very real results. Well now I have ...

Last night we headed off to the Colosseum to hear Ethan perform in the Winter Showcase. The night started with the typical sound checks with a number of local artists, all from the Bay Of Plenty Polytechnic. (University) It was a cold and dreary night outside, but inside there was an overwhelming se...

Yet another original masterpeice from Ethan is now up on Reverb Nation. “Just The Way It Seems” was written over the past 3-4 weeks, and it is a wonderful song! As always now, you can be the first to check it out at Reverb Nation, and become a fan at the same time. All new fan activity d...

Well here we are at week 2 of the gigs at the Worlds End Restaurant & Bar, and I have to tell you, tonight was a step above last week! I came away pumped and after watching a 5-song set from Ethan, I saw a new kid on the block, lol. This slightly reserved but confident kid of one week ago, tonig...

As most of you will know I am a keen supporter of Ethan and his musical future, and I guess in some ways I have made it my mission to assist in any way I can, in the progression of his opportunities as a singer/songwriter & musician. So a decision was made a couple of weeks ago, to come home to ...

Well I thought it was about time to put together another article, and what better subject to write about than a little kiwi guy down there in the deep dark corners of the globe, Ethan James. As you all know now, I bumped into this mini music machine a while back and it was songs like “Fishing ...

At last, I was able to go ahead and complete this studio version of Miss Jones Miss Jones. I added a few things, changed a couple of others and had a great time with this song. I hope you like it. Written and performed by Ethan2Rock. ...

This great song was written by Chris Daughtry. One of my favorites, and right now, this song means a little more to me. We moved to the Tauranga area a few weeks ago, My first real experience at moving homes that I can remember. This is my way of saying goodbye to the area and hello to the new home....

People have asked me what it is that I focus on when it comes to determining a True Star from the mainstream musicians, and I thought I would elaborate a little here. My interest in and passion for music started almost 40 years ago and in that time, as you can imagine, I have been privileged enough ...

This weekend (Feb 19) Ethan is away in a small rural area of New Zealand, known as Pukekohe. I remember spending a lot of time in this area when I was growing up, as they hosted car racing, and classic motorcycle racing. It was a lot of fun. I was chatting with Ethan on Friday morning about the upco...
