Norah Jones joined Sharon Van Etten onstage at Webster Hall Saturday night for an inspired performance of Seventeen, the nostalgic sing-along highlight from Van Ettens new album Remind Me Tomorrow. Introducing the song, Van Etten talked about being a new mother and the importance in finding companionship with fellow mothers who were touring musicians.
The few that I know, were all constantly texting each other, Googling it, checking in, she says before introducing Norah Jones as someone that I grew up, that I really admire, who has become a neighbor and a peer as well.
The performance of the reflective rocker was especially poignant since the show was Van Ettens last hometown as a New Yorker. The singer said shes moving to Los Angeles and thanked the crowd repeatedly for supporting her over the past 15 years she lived in this city.
