Ehren Ebbage wears many musical hats, and it's no surprise he wears them well -- he's spent years as a touring musician with bands like The Dimes and Justin King and The Apologies. Further, he lived and worked as a songwriter in Nashville, and now resides in Eugene, Oregon where he works as a composer for film and TV. Drawing thoughtfully from his deep well of musical experience, The Volunteer State is a crisp, new side project more than the sum of all these parts.
