MP3: New Sharon van Etten

First artist in Weathervane Music's new "Shaking Through" series.

By Fred Mills

So if you're reading this you've probably read our exclusive interview with Sharon van Etten that we posted to the site this morning, right? If not, go here - BLURT contributor Jennifer Kelly talked at length with the songwriter and also attended her recent concert in Cambridge where she opened a very special show for Damon & Naomi (not so coincidentally, big fans of van Etten; the photo, above, was taken at the concert).

So anyway, over at Weathervane Music, a non-profit organization dedicated to working with deserving independent artists and help push their careers forward (artists like van Etten, in fact), they've just posted a free van Etten MP3 at their site titled "Love More". The new recording is part of Weathervane's newly-christened "Shaking Through" series.

As Weathervane director Brian McTear (a Philadelphia producer and musician of no small acclaim) puts it at their site, "Listening to ‘Love More', watching the videos... there's soooo many people to thank. Their names are in the credits below the videos, and among the many sponsors that hooked this all up! Remember that Weathervane Music is a non-profit organization that does ALL of this to simply support and advance the work of great independent artists (9 more artists to come in 2010!). We ask that you share the news of this beautiful new piece of music."

Consider it shared, Brian.
