An invite only audience gathered at The Chapel in San Francisco for the Sharon Van Etten installment of The StubHub Concert Series presented by Pandora on the 29th of July.

Show-goers were still waiting in line by the time the free event started at 9:00pm but the old mortuary turned music venue had hit max capacity quickly. Inside, lucky attendees enjoyed a full open bar and a simple hashtag scored you freshly screen printed poster and t-shirt at the super neat, small pop-up screen printing set up downstairs!

Currently touring the world in support of her new album Are We There, the acclaimed singer/song-writer was accompanied by a small band made of her siblings, Heather and Peter Broderick. While most of the songs that night were solely Sharon on the piano or guitar, when her brother's beautiful violin playing was featured it single handedly added a hint of lightness to the somberness of the set. Heather's back up vocals complimented Sharon's singing with ease and their harmonies were effortlessly enchanting while The Chapel's acoustics accentuated the stripped down sound of the show.

Along with some self-deprecating banter and interjecting shouting show-goers (who were yelling at each other to be quiet) Sharon tried to lighten the mood with funny tid-bits about being stoned while writing certain songs, she also shared embarrassing stories from her adolescence. The set was short, ending less than an hour later with a cover of Karen Dalton's, "Red Are the Flowers", a fond farewell and a thank you to StubHub and Pandora for putting on the event.
