Ahead of her two sold out shows at Northcote Theatre, the formidable Sharon Van Etten sat down with producer and singer/songwriter, and opener, BATTS (over Zoom), to share some of her favourite tracks by Australian artists and share some of her favourite spots around Melbourne.

Sharon shared an elite playlist of albums and tracks from some great Aussie artists, check out the playlist below!

Where's Sharon Van Etten likely to be found when she's in Melbourne? She shared some of her favourite spots to hit when she's in town and she did not miss!

Melbourne Botanical Gardens is a must, the perfect place to take a walk or go for a run, once touching down in Melbourne, while Rocksteady Records is high on her list for checking out new records to take back home to Los Angeles.

Donovan's Restaurant in St Kilda already holds fond memories from the first time Sharon was in Melbourne, the perfect spot to enjoy some oysters and catch an epic sunset on the waterfront and Heidi Museum of Modern Art is a recent addition to the itinerary for when she's back.

It's not a trip to Melbourne without a go-to coffee spot, and Proud Mary Coffee on Oxford Street in Collingwood is starred on the map for a good cuppa.
