Sharon Van Etten and Fred Armisen

On top of her heartrendingly raw tunes, Sharon Van Etten's got some jokes up her sleeve, so you can expect laughs squeezed in between the emotionally bare songs at any of her gigs. Accordingly, it makes sense that the Brooklynite's buds with ex-SNL funnyman Fred Armisen. They join up here to play a one-off hometown jam session for Vulture Festival in which the two "interview each other with instruments"—interesting concept there.
