KCRW Presents: Sharon Van Etten

KCRW | By Jason Bentley, KCRW Music Director

Published July 10, 2014 at 12:06 PM CDT

Sharon Van Etten wrote her latest album Are We There over the course of two years, while touring in support of 2012's Tramp. In the process, she crafted a set of beautiful, slow-burning ballads that emphasize her emotive storytelling and unique voice. For her recent live session on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, she ran through highlights from the new album, including "Nothing Will Change."
