Some songs make you dance. Some make you cry. Will Ettante’s might make you question everything — while laughing through a mouthful of oatmeal. His latest single, “Oatmeal Can Slap,” is an ode to the absurdity of adulthood, served with a wink, a groove, and a spoon. It’s existential comedy disguised as indie pop brilliance — and yes, it’ll make you crave breakfast.
The musical alter ego of singer-songwriter Will Tynan, Will Ettante has mastered the art of turning everyday chaos into catharsis. “Oatmeal Can Slap” captures the messy, funny, and strangely moving contradictions of millennial life — the kind that make you laugh, cry, and text your therapist all before noon. It’s the third single leading up to his upcoming debut album Vdad, a record that promises to be as heartfelt as it is hilarious.
While his humor shines here, Ettante’s musical chops are no joke. A seasoned performer, he’s graced stages like SXSW and the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, blending fingerstyle guitar, folk roots, and sharp wit into something uniquely his own. His songs sound like if John Prine and Bo Burnham got stuck in traffic together and decided to write an anthem about it.
Now taking his charm directly to fans, Will’s Living Room Tour brings the show home — literally. Performing in intimate house shows across ten-plus cities, he’s stripping it all back to what matters most: connection, laughter, and maybe a good bowl of oatmeal. With Vdad on the horizon, Will Ettante is proving that sometimes, the best way to face the chaos of modern life is to sing, strum, and laugh right through it.
