Ethan O'Brien was born and raised in Alpena where he fell in love with his parents' record collection and learned how to play rock and roll. In elementary school, he started the local band Bobbing for Piranhas with bassist Conor Larkin and drummer James Daoust. While rock and roll is his favorite thing in the whole wide world, Ethan also enjoys sitting on a stool, strumming an acoustic guitar, and singing pretty (he hopes) songs.
