Sharon Van Etten is a Jersey born, Tennessee raised, Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter. She grew up playing anything placed in front of her: piano, violin, guitar, etc. Later, as her nascent musicality bloomed into full sprung awareness, she joined every choir and musical she could possibly audition for. This eventually lead to Sharon writing her own material, songs she wouldn’t start performing live until she moved back to the east coast. In the interim she found her own voice and began a love-affair with the grass-roots style of music that flowers throughout her debut release Because I Was In Love.

What people are saying about Sharon's release
Because I Was In Love


“so therapeutic with its unyielding beauty it has often stopped me dead in my tracks.” – ItCoverstheHillsides
April 2008


“With these tunes she is letting me into her living room, raw and poignant, safe and secure, her space, away from it all. Most people write music to hide behind it and a very few brave souls write it and lay it all out there. She bares it all, a beautiful blemished and slightly sweetened reality. Full-on bare your soul solace songwriting up there with the best of some of who we have featured before, Bosque Brown, Essie Jain, Sergius Gregory. To be perfectly honest, I feel a bit guilty writing this, like I am sharing a secret she only told me.” – Red Sea Station, November 2007


“Sharon’s silky, melancholy vocals weep over loose acoustic strumming, imperfect yet immaculate, lonesome yet soothing.” – Rcrdlbl.com, November 2008


“Sharon will probably be grouped alongside Cat Power, Leona Naess & Rachael Yamagata in forthcoming reviews, but in all honesty she truly resonates an immediacy that far surpasses all of the aforementioned artists.” – TheMusicSlut, December 2008
