Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten was so good on Later… with Jools Holland in 2012, she got invited back onto the show last year - and excelled again. In 2012, she played Give Out from her third album, Tramp - something of a breakthrough record - which she followed in 2014 with an equally well-received fourth album, Are We There.
As Van Etten, who grew up in New Jersey, explained to Lauren Laverne last December, much of her music is inspired by heartbreak, resulting in songs that are measured, mesmerising and entirely lacking in affectation. Check her ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Music artist page to hear Marc Riley plays clips from a 2013 session and make sure you’re right up front for her debut Glastonbury appearance - her live performances are intoxicating.
