Corner House

Originally hailing from Boston, MA, Corner House takes their name from their shared home in Brighton, where the four young band members found a musical family in one another as students at Berklee College of Music. Emerging from varied genre backgrounds, the quartet’s unique strength is their desire to learn from one another, not only in musical skill and style but in life experience, such that every challenge overcome by one band member becomes part of the group’s shared musical and personal DNA. On their debut full length album, How Beautiful It’s Been, the band reveals the sublime result of that growth mindset with a singular sound incorporating old time, Scottish, progressive bluegrass, and folk. Students of these varied musical traditions, the group is made up of songwriter and guitarist Ethan Hawkins, Scottish fiddle player Louise Bichan, bluegrass mandolinist Ethan Setiawan, and illustrious cellist Casey Murray, Corner House.

 

Corner House is a beautiful representation of their generation, tolerating and embracing diversity in every aspect of their music making. If we listen closely enough, we may be able to learn just as much from them as they have from one another.
