Ethan Carl

Ethan Carl is a singer-songwriter born and raised outside of St. Louis, MO in America’s Midwest Heartland. Grounded in blue-collar roots and the hardworking values of the region—honesty, resilience, family, and faith—his music speaks directly to everyday people who live, love, and labor in the heart of the country. A former NCAA DII All-American wrestler, Ethan carried the same grit and discipline from the wrestling mat into music. From singing in high school choirs to playing guitar and performing through college, his passion has remained constant. Drawing influence from artists like Eric Church, Kip Moore, Parker McCollum, and Bruce Springsteen, Ethan crafts authentic songs that celebrate Midwest and Heartland life with relatable honesty and heart. An independent artist, Ethan’s debut single “I Could Use A Win” (June 2022) established his digital presence and launched a promising career. Industry recognition followed quickly, earning him opening slots for artists including Gavin Adcock, Zach Top, Russell Dickerson, Travis Tritt, Sara Evans, and more. Ethan’s music continues to champion blue-collar anthems and Heartland stories, blending modern country energy with timeless themes of perseverance and small-town pride. He currently resides in the Nashville, TN area with his wife and daughter.
