    The Philly F/M Fest and Weathervane Music welcome Sharon Van Etten back to World Cafe Live!

    Sharon van Etten came to Brooklyn via Jersey via Tennessee via Jersey. Along the way, she sang in choirs, rejected her school’s music program, worked at an all-ages venue, trained as a sommelier, and got a full time job at a record label. She also had some bad experiences in relationships….Ok, more than some.

    A few things need to be clear about SVE’s music. She’s not the type of “female singer/songwriter” who champions women-centric perspectives and denies personal accountability. Nor is she a strident provocateur. Rather, Van Etten is a performer who fully embraces her femininity while confidently expressing it through intelligent and mature perspectives on relationships. Those turned off by the provincialism of other performers will be pleased that you can identify with Van Etten’s incisive and universal observations about love and loss.

    All proceeds benefit Weathervane Music, a non-profit organization that creates community funded projects to support and advance the careers of working musicians.

    Also performing:
    Marissa Nadler
    Hezekiah Jones
