Description
Brooklyn-based indie folk-rock singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten is an integral part of the new Brooklyn indie scene, having collaborated, performed or recorded with members of the National, the Antlers, Beirut and the Walkmen, among others. Hailed for the intense honesty and vulnerability of her songs and her alluring vocals, Van Etten's music is noted for its distinctive minimalism and timeless feel. She is a multi-instrumentalist who juggles duties on guitar, piano, percussion, harmonium, and omnichord, and she makes extensive use of vocal harmonies, in part because she claims to hear more than one melody simultaneously in her writing process. The end result can at times be as organic and rootsy as a front-porch picking session, or as lush and orchestral as a symphony. Van Etten - who should appeal to fans of Patti Smith, Emmylou Harris, Jefferson Airplane and the National - will preview new songs from her upcoming recording, "Are We There," due out in late May, when she performs at Helsinki Hudson.
