Sharon Van Etten

Happy New Year!
Here's to a year full of musical discoveries!

So I've been starting to show symptoms of Brandi Carlile withdrawals lately, and I thought I should try and fix that.  Finding new music is always a pleasure for me and when I'm searching for something new I usually head over to TheCurrent.org or Lastfm to see what I can find.

Recently my find was Sharon Van Etten.  I got hooked on her song One Day after about 3 listens.  I wasn't sure at first if I enjoyed her voice, but I kept listening and determined, that yes, yes I did like her :)

Theres been a lot of talk lately that musicians just aren't making good music anymore.  I have to disagree.  People need to turn off their generic radio station and branch out into other turns of the dial.  When they do this, there are quite a few artists out there making really good music.

Sharon Van Etten has a voice that reminds me of someone, but I can't put my finger on it.  Her songs are diverse in that for the most part they don't all sound like a pop song, an indie song, and they don't sound tired.

Giver her a listen people of the world, give her a listen.
