On the night of the release show for her outstanding new CD epic, Sharon Van Etten played a sold out and packed Rock Shop. Sharon has said many times that she suffers from excessive shyness, but on this night, far from being overwhelmed by the intensity of the crowd she was confident, relaxed and having fun. Sharon performed a similar set to her August show at Rock Shop, but added a special mini acoustic set at the end of this special night. Accompanied again by the excellent Cat Martino, Sharon has added a new drummer and new bassist to the band we saw this Summer. The new rhythm section seems to have added some extra muscle to the material, so that new songs such as “Don’t Do It” (streaming below) came across with a heavier rock beat. But it was the four-song solo acoustic songs that closed the set where Sharon seemed to say thank you to her long-time fans. As she was brought back for an encore, the calls for “Damn Right” were acceded and Sharon delivered one of her oldest numbers with an extra edge — a touching acknowledgment of her past as she moves towards a brighter future.

I recorded this set with the Neumanns placed in front of the soundboard cage mixed with a feed from the board. The sound quality is superb. Enjoy!
