Video Debut: Ethan Samuel Brown, “Tomorrow is a Long Time”

The Inglewood Motel is one of those pieces of gnarly old East Nashville that kind of screams illicit affairs and crack. But in our minds there’s always one room occupied by some newly-arrived Nashville player picking an old favorite in the corner of his room, observing the wallpaper, contemplating his next move, in exactly the way Ethan Samuel Brown does in his live video performance of Bob Dylan’s “Tomorrow is a Long Time.”

Brown, formerly of folk outfit Walden, picked the Inglewood Motel because "it is a fitting environment for a song that was written in 1963, as the place looks as if it hasn’t been remodeled or renovated since 1963. It’s perfect.” The video precedes the June release of his solo album, as well as a set of spring shows, the first falling on February 10 at the High Watt with Mark Fredson, Zach Schmidt, and Pageant. -Terra James-Jura
