\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love seeing a band with no pre-conceptions – Lee and I went to this gig on spec knowing nothing about Sharon at all. In the Brudenell we bumped into Lee\u2019s colleague Dave and his pals from Ilkley. We got chatting about our kids \u201cWhat\u2019s your eldest daughters name?\u201d \u201cMarisa\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve not heard that name before\u201d\u2026..then on comes the support \u201cHi my names Marisa Anderson<\/a>\u201d Dave turns to us with raised eyebrows “That’s the second time I’ve heard that name tonight!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Marisa played an intense, instumental solo set that made great use of a slide guitar \u2013 you often hear it with sustained high notes in country tunes but she gets dirty blues sounding basslines a plenty from it. A great set.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sharon Van Etten<\/a> has a great voice but seemed to be a bit nervous at first. Her band belted out a couple of rock tunes and I wasn\u2019t sure if I was going to enjoy the gig\u2026..but her banter between songs (she\u2019s from the town in New Jersey where the Sopranos is filmed, it was her boyfriend birthday) was so funny (sometimes unintentionally) and the music soon got more to my liking with some fantastic guitar work on sprawling epic songs. Her songs sound confessional in nature and if they are, she\u2019s had a lot of heartache.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We bought her \u2018Tramp\u2019<\/a> CD on the way out but my favourite song of the night isn\u2019t on it \u2013 it was a song for strong women called “Life of his own”<\/a> that went along the lines of \u201cI want a man with a good social life and friends of his own that he see\u2019s without me, cos that\u2019s what I\u2019ve got and I ain\u2019t giving it up\u201d \u2013 Gonna find a copy for my Marisa!<\/p>\n
