State Shirt is Ethan Tufts, an American songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist from Easthampton, Massachusetts. He is known for his hand-crafted, diverse and often unpredictable indietronic style, integrating live looping in both his recordings and live performances. All of his songs are open source and licensed via Creative Commons, providing raw materials for the hundreds of remix artists that have created new works based on his source tracks. Tufts currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

He released his debut EP Don't Die in 2004, and his second album This Is Old in 2008. The first single from This is Old is "Fell Out of the Sky," a song inspired by the black box data recordings recovered from the crash of Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 182, September 25, 1978. His most recent album, Lost Hills was released in August 2015.
