Sharon Van Etten’s 2012 release for her album, “Tramp,” is one of my favorite of this year. Van Etten recorded the album with a little help from the National’s Aaron Dessner. Her tour bring her to Denver with the unfortunate sons of Philly, the War on Drugs. C=T wants to send one lucky reader to the show with a pair of tickets and a copy of “Tramp” on vinyl. All you have to do is tell me what label Van Etten is on and the package is yours. Send your answers via Twitter @Causeequalstime or email (julio dot enriquez at gmail dot com). Check out her cover with Shearwater of the Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty classic, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” and purchase her album, “Tramp,” here.
