Sharon Van Etten

Jump to Performer Info

Sharon Van Etten, from Brooklyn, NYC, makes a very welcome return to The Glee Club, having previously opened for Great Lake Swimmers. She has also played shows with Beirut, Neko Case and Shearwater, sung on records by The Antlers and The National and collaborated with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon.



The shimmering sound of Sharon Van Etten’s Jagjaguwar debut album, Tramp, both defies and illuminates the unsteadiness of a life in flux. Throughout the 14 months of recording sessions, Van Etten was without a home. The only constant in Van Etten's life during this time was spent in Aaron Dessner's garage studio.



Tramp is an album showcasing an artist in full control of her powers. Van Etten has traveled far, and if her displacement took an emotional toll, she offset those setbacks with a powerfully articulated vision. And so, once again, each listener will discover their own moments along the way, and the debates as to the best song start anew.
