Sharon Van Etten's Tramp is one of my favorite albums of the year so far, but that's no surprise. It has the fragile emotion I originally fell in love with on Because I Was In Love and the mature songwriting of Epic - plus a newfound confidence. A little anger never hurts in rock and roll, and Sharon does it well. That emotion, songwriting and confidence are evident on this demo version of "Serpents":
Sharon Van Etten - Serpents (Demo Version)
Sharon will be at the Paradise in Boston tonight with Shearwater - a show you really shouldn't miss. If you've procrastinated on getting tickets, you're off the hook this time...it's (surprisingly) not sold out (yet). Come on Boston...if NYC can sell out 3 shows (2 Bowery, 1 Music Hall of Williamsburg), can't we sell out one? Buy tickets here
Check out our live recording of Sharon Van Etten last April at Brighton Music Hall - it's absolutely pristine, and one of the most popular recordings we shared last year.
