Sharon Van Etten, 31-year old singer-songerwriter, was born and raised in suburban New Jersey. Her songs are described as having some echoes of folk tradition but generally in a more personal, introspective space. Van Etten’s folk music evokes the open landscapes and lonely expanses of Middle America. A dedicated choir student during her childhood, she began writing songs on her guitar as a high school student and, upon moving to New York, start playing them in concert. She has released three albums including “Tramp” in 2012.

There’s a little of Chrissy Hynde in here..I like it a lot..Goes well with hot apple cider.
Yes. I had to listen to Chrissy to see the connection. (Here’s Chrissy singing Angel of the Morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Qfqle_2Bs&feature=player_detailpage)
I never heard this version before. And I think it is now my favorite. Two home runs from one at bat – has that ever been done before?
Not sure. But we’ll take it! 🙂
*Such* an interesting voice and Mimi’s right, shades of Chrissy Hynde in there. Very nice! I just discovered a singer that I’m really likin’: Imelda May. Do you know her? Check out “Knock 123” from Love Tatoo. Fabulous! Happy Saturday evening, David!!
Thanks Lori. I will check them out.
Imelda. LIKE it. Better suited for Saturday night. But I’m UP now. Unique style – not sure what you would categorize it but good. Thanks for pointing me to her Lori
My pleasure! 🙂
I really need to read the comments sooner. I was trying to figutrre out who she reminded me of, and Mimi had it pegged already.
That Mimi, she’s quick on the draw…:)
And I hear Cherry Poppin Daddies…..like her!
Cherry Poppin Daddies. New to me too.
Zoot Suit Riot…..
Wow. Never heard of them. Will check it out. (Cool name)
I absolutely love this video and song. The lead singer is fabulous, kind of mix between Pat Benatar, Diane Schuur, and Brian Setzer. A pretty cool mix.
I’m with you on all fronts Rick. And I too love video production. Thanks.
