Music The People in Your Neighborhood: Singer-Songwriter Sharon Van Etten
Posted by Mike Conklin and Lauren Beck on Fri, Oct 8, 2010 at 4:32 PM
Today, repping for Williamsburg, is smoky voiced singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten, whose new album Epic is as commanding as it is utterly heartbreaking, much in the same way as Chan Marshall's early work. Tonight, she'll be celebrating its release with a show at The Rock Shop and on Saturday joining pal Kyp Malone at Mercury Lounge. You would be wise to check her out.
