This was so so so so so so lovely. What a treat to see Sharon in such a small space again with just a guitar & Heather Broderick on backing vocals for some of the songs. Sharon commented at one point that it was nice to see no one in the room wearing Santa hats and that this was the anti-Santacon. – BV photographer Amanda Hatfield

A not very well kept “surprise,” Sharon Van Etten, whose last NYC show was headlining Town Hall, was the “special guest” at the show she presented at Cameo on Saturday (12/15) that featured official sets from She Keeps Bees and Speck Mountain. Sharon’s was a nice 12-song set, stripping down her backing to just guitar for the rare and intimate appearance. If you missed it, NYC Taper was on hand and already has his recording of the show up for you to download and you can stream her doing “Consolation Prize” below. Pictures are also in this post.

Sharon Van Etten will soon be on tour with Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, hitting Beacon Theatre on March 28 – 29. Tickets are still available. More pictures from Saturday night’s Cameo show are below.
