Sharon Van Etten + Lower Dens + Highlife + Sebastian Blanck

Formerly a resolutely hushed neofolkie, the excellent local songsmith Sharon Van Etten trades up for a full band on her latest, Epic, an album that's alternately breezy and menacing (see Van Etten performing in our offices at timeoutnewyork.com/tonylive). She tops a bill that's quietly magnificent in its own right, featuring Devendra Banhart and Phosphorescent collaborator Jana Hunter with Lower Dens, plus talented New Yorker Blanck whose beautiful album of folk songs, Alibi Coast, features vocal contributions from Becky Stark, Lia Ices and more.
