Guitarist Ethan James entertains a Coffey Haus crowd in Luverne Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, with original and previously-written pieces. James is the son of Pastor Maurice and Kathy Hagen and dropped his last name for his profession - just going by his first and middle names.
James also sold CDs at the gathering. He holds bachelor's degrees in classical guitar, the lute and Spanish from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. He now lives in Minneapolis and is becoming known for his unique style.
