Sharon Van Etten w/ Plume Giant 1/19/11 Bar

Return of the free shows at Bar on Wednesdays not Sundays. Excellent opener Plume Giant sported his and her violinists with acoustic guitar. Close vocal harmonies and imaginative songwriting make me a fan of Plume Giant. Covered a Strokes and Otis Redding song.
Headliner Van Etten is a Brooklyn folkie who had echoes of Beth Orton. Many songs were sombre and had a sameness to them. Group consisted of SVE guitar/vocals, bass, and drums. Odd looking squeezebox-keyboard was not played while I was in attendance.
