Local Natives & Sharon Van Etten Perform ‘Lemon’ On ‘Kimmel’

Local Natives and Sharon Van Etten served as the musical guests on Monday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. Van Etten joined the California-based band at a scenic location in their home state to film a performance of “Lemon.”

“Lemon” was released by Local Natives last year on their Sour Lemon EP. The song is a duet between Van Etten and Local Natives’ Taylor Rice. Sharon contributed to the version on Sour Lemon as well as an accompanying video.

“I connected with the song at each stage: collaborating and getting to know each other, receiving their openness and generosity, recording the song and feeling the camaraderie and accepted as a part of the band, to shooting the video and reciprocating the longing and connection,” Van Etten said of her experience with Local Natives. “Our friendship and our lives have grown since we first met, and this is a documentation of that… I’m looking forward to seeing where we all go from here.”
