She may call Brooklyn home, but singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten's got a soft spot for Philly. Here was where she recorded her full-length debut, Because I Was in Love , with Greg Weeks, and where she recorded her latest release, the seven-song Epic (Ba Da Bing! Records), with Brian McTear. But while Van Etten fits snuggly within the context those collaborators suggest — think rich sonic textures and bittersweet relationship songs — her husky soprano and reserved demeanor are timeless enough to have bewitched a folk-club crowd a generation ago or to win over resigned romantics yet to be. Lucky us that she's playing here and now.
