    Sharon's an amazing vocalist. Her voice and her music seem so natural. She's one of those artists where you can love almost every song on the album and that's rare.

    I've been a fan of Sharon's since 2009, and I'm somehow just now finding out she was on Tiny Desk! Fun to hear these old songs, I remember being so blown away by "Epic" when it first came out after the much calmer "Because I was in Love".

    I've only just discovered Sharon Van Etten, here in England - so apologies for that, it can be quiet here in the Old Country - via a song called Dry, which I believe is a new one. I have subsequently bought her latest album and look forward to the next one keenly. A fine and talented performer and writer and I've especially enjoyed these NPR recordings. I hope she performs here in England soon.

      I too have fallen. I only discovered her two days ago and haven't stopped. I almost never like a song the first time I hear it, but 3 seconds into every one of her songs I'm already in love. All my life I don't think any other artist or song has made me feel so much, she is so raw and real, you can hear and feel the emotion... it's like my heart is doing somersaults and weeping at the same time. I feel young again. Sharon, where have you been all my life?

    When I first saw this in 2011 my very first impression was Oh man, a couple of folk wannabes from American or Georgetown or somewhere. Then I watched and listened to the simple but compelling music and lyrics and I fell in love what she brings to this. Now its 2017 and I'm revisiting it as I have on and off for years and finding even more. One of your best finds NPR music.

    She opened up for my band once in Indy around in 2010. She was very sweet to talk to, and of course her performance was powerful and very felt. I was lucky to buy her last vinyl she was carrying with her. I wish I would have had her sign it. Last year I was blown away to hear her song "Serpents" on Walking Dead. Great tune, check it out. My favorite song by her is still "For you", the last song on this vid, so damn good!

I kind of love how she has grown into an international headliner who rocks shows (Ya gotta make a quid after all!), and I reckon she's done well not to lose that authenticity and vulnerability as her fame has grown and as her songs/shows hit the mainstream over the years.
