press release: The East Side Acoustic Ensemble (ESAE, pronounced "easy") is a pop-up acoustic ensemble based in Madison, Wisconsin. ESAE usually features about twenty seasoned East Side musicians, from formerly pro to semi-pro to currently pro, all of whom pass open auditions then gather twice a year for eight weeks to create a fresh set of acoustic music. Every roster and season show is different, and songs range from country duets to bluegrass to full-ensemble renditions of Wilco. The ensemble is led by singer-songwriter Ritt Deitz.
