In the spring and summer of 2005, Ethel performed over 50 shows across the US and Europe with pop/rock legends Joe Jackson and Todd Rundgren.This tour set the stage for Ethel's second Cantaloupe CD, Light. Light features audience favourites from recent seasons and from the 2005 tour, as well as new works by all four members of the band.

The long-awaited follow-up to their highly-acclaimed Cantaloupe debut has the string foursome veering in a new direction. Robust Americana and fiddle tunes from across the world, originals and new comissions fill a CD that's as danceable as it is thought-provoking.
