Brooklyn singer songwriter Sharon Van Etten blew the roof off Cargo in east London last night. Well, 'blew the roof off' in the only way that you can with a polite, respectful, packed audience hanging on every word, laughing at every joke (there were many) and bringing down the house after every song. What a show - if you missed it, she's back on May 16th for her biggest show yet at Scala.
You might remember TOW catching up with Sharon Van Etten at the beginning of the 2011 She was on tour with The National and riding high on the critical acclaim of her first album proper Epic. Here us catch up with Sharon here.
Well now her album Tramp has been unleashed on the world on Jagjaguwar and is already topping best album of the year lists, and it's only March!
Van Etten worked with Aaron Dessner from The National on this record, working from his home studio in a leafy part of Brooklyn. Guests on the record include Jenn Wasner from Baltimore duo Wye Oak and the wonderfully ethereal Julianna Barwick...
TOW caught up with SVE in a pub near Hyde Park on her recent brief trip through London to talk about conquering this filthy great city, working with Aaron and finally finding a home:
