Ezra Cares is a Boston based artist whose musical experience reaches back to his childhood. As the son of a professional indie musician, it wasn’t long before he began to forge a path of his own by forming a band with his brother in high school. Inspired by DIY musicians and influenced by classic greats like Lou Reed, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and Slowdive, he began to write and record songs in his bedroom under the Ezra Cares moniker. Ezra continued to involve his family in his creative process and began performing with his dad and brother: “When I started playing gigs in college, I had no one to play with, so I naturally started practicing the songs with my family. I realized it would be a fun gimmick to have a ‘family band’ in college, so it just stuck.” With a handful of singles and an EP under his belt, Ezra’s growing discography features a distinctive blend of lo-fi, hard rock, and shoegaze that captures the hazy nostalgia of suburban middle America.
