Phoebe Bridgers

In the live cover of 'Say Yes,' recorded on November 30, 2015, Phoebe Bridgers was just beginning to make waves in the indie music scene. This came shortly after releasing her debut album, 'Stranger in the Alps,' which hit the airwaves in September 2017. At this point, Phoebe's hauntingly evocative vocals and poignant songwriting were already garnering attention, hinting at the brilliance she would soon unleash. It’s fascinating to note that she chose an Elliott Smith track, an artist known for his deeply personal and introspective lyrics, which aligns perfectly with her own style. The collaboration with Harrison Whitford adds an intimate, almost nostalgic feel to the performance, capturing a moment when Phoebe was still emerging but already paying tribute to her influences. This live rendition showcases not just her talent, but her respect for the song's emotional gravity.
