The Other Side of ... the 14th Circuit's Ethan Rosenberg

When it came time for Ethan Rosenberg, guitarist of Baltimore funk band the 14th Circuit, to record the group’s latest album, Monkey Juice, he didn’t have to look far for an engineer or mixer. That’s because Rosenberg not only mans the six-string and occassional keyboards, but he also knows his way around a recording studio. Music is the constant in his life, whether he’s writing, performing or mixing a new track. When we met at a downtown coffee shop, he couldn’t help but recommend a new pair of headphones on my way out of the door. Along with the 14th Circuit’s other members — Aaron Kovelman (guitars/keyboards), Jeremy Schon (bass/drums) and Zak Lessman (drums/bass) — Rosenberg will open for the Bridge at Federal Hill’s 8x10 June 15.
