Welcome

Singer of the week: Sharon Van Etten

Thursday, February 3, 2011


"Sharon Van Etten plays bittersweet neofolk so slow, spare and subtle that you might have to crane your neck to hear it. The Brooklyn songsmith’s tunes are definitely worth the effort.” – Time Out New York









At the age of 25 she left her town and her boyfriend to make music in New York. Asked what her music sounds like, Sharon answered:" Folk. Really simple guitar. I try to focus on the melodies and try to make everything else minimal. The melody and the lyrics are most important to me."
