    I was really looking forward to this show, and now that it’s sold out, the free tickets would be awesome!

    I want to see Sylvan Esso because I was listening to them when I discovered this contest and if that’s not fate I don’t know what is <3

    One of my favorite break out artists of the year! Would love to catch them in such an intimate venue before they really take off.

    Pick me! Pick me! I’ve been listening to Sylvan Esso on repeat! What better way to get me through the week than to go see them live! Would love to get these tickets and skip out on a boring night at home watching re-runs of the Big Bang Theory. I have been an avid reader of FreeWilliamsburg everyday since it was born!

    i really like her song “coffee” and i just had to do a somewhat difficult math problem to post this comment.

    Please pick me! I am only in the US for the next 2 months. I am from Europe and will not have any other chance to see them soon. That would just made my day – my week – my month – my stay. I LOVE THEM!

    Agh! I heard about them at the beginning of the summer and my friend told me about the show way too late. Would love to go!

    Sylvan Esso is definitely a break out artist to keep an eye on. I anticipate this girl to give Tove Lo a run for her money. Would love to catch the show live!

    I like Sylvan Esso, but I really want these tickets for my friend. She likes them infinitely more than myself (and anyone I know) and is having a bit of a rough time right now, I imagine these tickets would be a welcome distraction.

    I would love to surprise my fiancé with tickets to her new favorite band!

    It’s been incredible watching them blow up since I first heard “Hey Mami” and I’d love to see them live!

    I love this girl who loves Sylvan Esso, but hasn’t smiled or gotten an emotional break since knowing a family member is seriously ill. It would make her day to know we are going to enjoy someone mutually loved since Mountain Man.

    Thanks for considering us!

    Hiiiiieeeee I am a bartender in Bed Stuy & my main pleasure in my work is playing music I live for and kiki-ing with people about it while I get them turnt. I have probably chatted with at least 20 people about SE while I’ve bad their album on…which has been a lot. Dying to see them live!

    Getting these tickets would be absolutely fabulous, given how good their debut album is. I’d love to dance my socks off with a good friend and just vibe to the music. Brooklyn is also just a really dope place. Thanks for the consideration.

    Studied abroad in East Africa, met one of my very best friends. We both just moved to the city for grad school and she just introduced me to Sylvan Esso. Album’s on repeat, we would be so grateful for the tickets and also it’s my birthday weekend!

    Hey! Me and one of dearest friends just moved to Brooklyn last week (see “Cara C” comment below). We both adore Sylvan Esso, and would love to have her music be the start of our new lives in New York. Also, it’s her birthday! If you let us come (please!), we will be the most enthusiastic of fans!!

    Why?…
    Because they’re awesome and I’m awesome because I think they’re awesome! They deserve way more recognition and I would love to see them in BK before they become mainstream. Cheers to Sylvan Esso!

    I would love a ticket for this show, even half will do just to get one foot in the door to see this amazing duo perform. I’ve had “Uncantena” on repeat for months.

    Sylvan Esso’s album has been a summer soundtrack of sorts for a couple of my best friends and me. We listened to it non-stop on our Fourth of July weekend getaway to Philly/Maryland and every time I hear ‘Coffee’ now, it makes me think of those days. It would be amazing to be able to share this show with one of them. I even wrote a poem for them about that weekend, and alluded to Sylvan Esso! Thanks!

    On the morning of the fourth I pulled my eyelids open
    to find fog in Philadelphia
    and a house full of dark, sleep-spent faces.

    I shook the boys awake and we
    put breakfast in our bodies and drove to the edge of the coast.

    The road between morning and afternoon was a dreamy blur—
    strawberries glowing ripe and explicit from roadside stands;
    cornstalks and alfalfa flowers bowing beneath the sun like yeomen;
    and our flag painted in the faded colors of americana,
    all big and earnest across the length of clapboard barns.

    And the three of us, a heady mess all drunk on past and present—
    tracing barren roads through backwoods ablaze with July;
    coffee in our laps, on the dashboard, in the airwaves on repeat;
    laughter in our throats, sun-struck stars in our eyes,
    our fingers full of sugar packets and each other.

    Later in the day we sat on shallow agate beaches, knees bent—
    watching green waves glimmer all the colors of a storm;
    befriending a dozen silvery fish carcasses left over from high-tide;
    spoon-feeding each other roasted corn, sandy brownies,
    boiled crab and least of all a flippant, ripe affection.

    And in the evening we put ourselves to bed in ancient attics—
    our limbs heavy as hills from the solar power and salt-spray;
    our bodies swallowed by sleeping bags as though by sharks;
    our hearts thumping from fireworks and other things,
    our minds disbelieving the plush weight of night.

    On the morning of the fifth I pulled my eyelids open
    to find milk on the stove
    and sun on the spoons in the sink.

    Outside, watermelon rinds gleamed
    like juicy emeralds in a yard burnt by sparklers and cigarettes.

    The boys were still asleep upstairs
    and I still wanted them to stay that way—
    and not wake from our summer stupor;
    and not make the bed;
    and not start the car to go home.
