SHARON VAN ETTEN @ THE ZOO WEDNESDAY JANUARY 2 with special guests Little Scout + Heather Woods Broderick (USA). Tickets on sale now from The Zoo & all Oztix outlets.

Mistletone and 4ZZZ present the first Australian tour by Brooklyn-based Sharon Van Etten. Singer, songwriter, collaborator and incredibly captivating performer, the irrepressible Sharon Van Etten is nothing short of indie rock royalty. Backed by her stunning three piece band, Sharon will showcase her bittersweet songs with all their raw intimacy and dramatic sweep at The Zoo on Wednesday 2 January with special guests Little Scout. And as a special treat for Brisbane audiences, Heather Woods Broderick from Sharon’s band will perform an opening solo set.

Heather Woods Broderick (pictured below) is a disarming and resonant musician and composer who has released solo material under her own name and as a member of Efterklang, Horse Feathers and Loch Lomond; she’s been part of Laura Gibson’s backing band and has recorded with the likes of Blitzen Trapper and M Ward. Growing up in the relative quiet of the Maine countryside while learning a range of instruments and being sung to sleep by her parents playing folk songs, natural and rural sounds became central to Heather’s sense of song, falling into a deeply personal realm. The subtlety and nuance in Heather’s music also comes from her inclination towards ambient and experimental sounds, conjuring atmosphere equally with the striking melodies at the core of her songs. Her solo album From The Ground (featuring Heather’s brother, Peter Broderick) was released on Sydney-based label, Preservation. She also makes a guest appearance on Slay Me In My Sleep, the sixth album from Melbourne’s Grand Salvo.
