House of the Rising Sun Sawyer Fredericks August 4, 2017 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Hillsdale NY

[@mikem9267]

This guy sings like he is from a different time...he is amazing

[@zenithj3815]

You should hear him live with his band singing the songs he writes. Here's a sample. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3LHZmqYopmHl6M and kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fblpJqfbyFj9E

[@rosembergmassocati9048]

he sings like he is on his own time... so powerful man

[@albacontreras8513]

Jesús perdoname

[@GayleKazanis]

Old soul 😊

[@JonLane-t3k]

He is

[@jaimemantel9002]

Holy crap. His voice is better than it was on The Voice. More mature, stronger. Just Wow.

[@zenithj3815]

He's releasing a new album of his own originals that he produced, Hide Your Ghost, sometime this spring. It will probably include this song that people say "holy crap" when they hear it live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4vaq6N5isiapNU

[@aidanbergeron7516]

I had the privilege of seeing this live and meeting him in person. His voice is just a million times more pure than I thought, just wow.

[@urlittlegirllost]

Old Souls never die.

[@Gibson1961SG]

Souls don't evidently exist. We all fade back into non-existence... Thats what makes this so special.

[@kenapoore3897]

Could listen to Sawyer forever. I picked him as the winner on the voice the night he performed. Old soul for sure

[@BackontheBayou]

This is one of the best versions I have ever heard of this song.

[@Stevesrssrssrs]

Then you've only heard one version!

[@utredragnarson7447]

So with you on that . The best most emotional version ever.

[@tarabletv]

+Stonemansteve II What do you mean by that

[@Stevesrssrssrs]

I mean he sucks and this is a terrible version!!! For the life of me, I have no idea how he ever won!! The only song he can sing is I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow, everything else is terrible!!

[@pedrohpso3762]

Stonemansteve II boy you are stupid

[@reason5591]

Im soon to turn 60 yrs old and he? Well let me tell you...he is one of my all time favorite singer/songwriters, and the song one my all time favorites.

[@tamaralee4435]

I Love this Dude, I voted for him over 100 times, on the voice..HE IS AMAZING.. SOULFUL..LOVEN IT..

[@jamesha547]

How the sun catches his eyes makes u feel drawn in by his performance.

[@davidfarley7235]

Sounds like grunge, folk, blues all in perfect sync. Incredible.

[@zenithj3815]

With his band he throws in some rock and jazz. You should hear his original music, as he is a prolific songwriter, a producer, and quite a guitar player. Here's a link to his latest single. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZfIYWNtnsRkjrM

[@TheBotenTeam]

When my man and I first heard you on the voice singing A Man of Constant Sorrow we immediately said this guys gonna win and fell in love with your voice. I was pregnant with our first child, a son. We hadn't came close to finding a name. When you finished and they asked your name and you said Sawyer we just turned to each other said your name out loud to each other and pretty much new that would be our first borns name. He is a month from 4 now and his name is so fitting Sawyer Bryant Rogers. So glad you're still performing and making music! Your voice is more then amazing it's captivating!

[@zenithj3815]

You'll be glad to know that Fredericks writes and produces his own music-the latest album being Hide Your Ghost. Check out videos for Gasoline, Turning the Shoulder, and Should've Known Better here on Sawyer's youtube channel.

[@robinkelley2071]

Sawyer is the,"Real Deal"! Love listening and watching him perform!

[@JanetLynnJJ]

Best voice contestant ever...ever! Every. Time. Chills. God blessed this soul.

[@soumikbhattacharyya8303]

Still not got over from this performance. I hear it almost everyday. ❤

[@pre411_]

His texture of voice is incredible And the instrument being played is so melodious

[@verucasaltshaker7880]

everytime the sun caught his eyes 1 year was added to my life and now i will never die

[@zenithj3815]

lol. Here's more for good measure kzbin.info/www/bejne/gonPZqmBZdSYqtE

[@kimberly112997]

So beautiful, this is natural talent. His voice is amazing.

[@zenithj3815]

If you haven't heard his songwriting, listen to his new album, Hide Your Ghost.

[@elizabethportuguez3825]

We have the privilege of listening to a legend that synthesizes the perfect: beauty, talent, magnetism, mastery, character, pure art !!!

[@swamivicky]

Incredible continuing talent. He was born outside of his time. His voice belongs in another time. I wish that this time would give him the honor he deserves. Be Well Sawyer Fredericks. Stay safe, and happy. I wish you much love.

[@zenithj3815]

He just won 2 songwriting Independent Music Awards for songs Born, and Amen from his just-released album, Flowers For You. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXSnlIFnZdtqars

[@francesgarrigus9404]

Every time I hear Sawyer sing I close my eyes and away I go. Too cool.

[@bluesmills]

He is that good that the other musicians who have seen many performances are watching him with deep respect

[@zenithj3815]

They also improvised some accompaniment, which was a great compliment. Sawyer is an amazingly original songwriter and is getting attention at folk and songwriter's festivals and events around the country. That is, when he's not touring with his band or recording and producing albums.

[@alphatangohotelvod]

jesus. best cover ive ever seen.

[@zenithj3815]

It sounded perfect-and the back-up was improvised by other musicians at a folk festival workshop. I liked the simplicity of this rendition, but Sawyer showed off guitar skills in another performance on tour in Oklahoma: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5mbZ5KvrNOpf7s

[@pproferes]

Sawyer really knows how to FEEL a song !

[@sarahf5389]

Holy shit! This guy is incredible. This hit me right in the feels.

[@karolinedelrio2467]

Can't believe you're real. I'm literally crying. Amazing voice! Thanks, thanks, thanks.

[@ladonnad.steele2470]

Don't ever stop singing the songs YOUR WAY. Your way is the best. Soul never dies!

[@maryrosejontilano7872]

this song is timeless... and so is the singer. I keep coming back to watch and listen

[@no-it1et]

Love it when song gives your body chills!

[@jackhamlett6157]

Sawyer is a great singer with lots of soul

[@skunkjohnson6738]

holy shit the chills are intense

[@andreasichmanova5309]

Always loved this song and now hear Sawyer to sing his way, can't find words,what emotion it brings to me.

[@faz1991]

hands down magic

[@tammytruthout8465]

So glad you never sold out and became commercial! Your talent transcends anything else!

[@kellyjohnson5050]

It's NEW YEAR 2018, I'M 55YRS OLD AND JUST THIS VERY EVENING, HOUR OR SO AGO AND I LOVE THIS KID . TALENT FROM THE HEAVENS, FOR SURE .. THANK YOU

[@ryanspencer1482]

Best cover of this song I’ve heard!

[@zenithj3815]

Sawyer does justice to every song he covers. But he's also a brilliant songwriter and guitarist who has put together a top notch band. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZfOYYuVq9R-oKc

[@angcbt]

can't explain how this cover makes me feel. i just love it

[@ninjamaster7724]

Legendary,absolutely fcking legendary.

[@zenithj3815]

This is a great cover, but he's also a gifted songwriter and guitarist. Check out the album he entirely wrote and produced, Hide Your Ghost. Live performances are even better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ-oqnSirr-MaaM

[@melaniadevereux5699]

I wanna touch his hair so much. But seriously, he is incredible, this version is the best!

[@allieyoung5349]

The lady vibing in the background is all of us

[@thematriarchy2075]

That's his mom

[@creepykels]

Your voice hits me right in the soul. Always.

[@charlettea.p.kealoha8050]

It's been awhile 😌since we seen you, Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii.

[@jivanvasant]

[@lunagitana28lg]

I've been hearing you sing for a long time and your voice has such a grace, I'm so enchanted, wish one day I can hear you live.

[@crystalelk]

[@rubyfkat]

R🌹..the sun on your face...omg..so beautiful sawyer!!🌅💋😘

[@Gajusus]

This is the best thing I've heard period. His voice is piercing my soul.

[@alltheprettythings0613]

So beautiful and powerful it sent shivers!!! Oh my goodness!

[@donnasmith8977]

I was THERE when he did this. I was blown away at the time, and I'm blown away again now. My friend Wanda Fischer, host of The Hudson River Sampler on WAMC, was so impressed with Sawyer's rendition of this song she asked him to perform it in September when he was a guest on her show.

[@andrewariasquesada4944]

Donna Smith Yeah, sure! My friends (Peter Griffin, Mac Gyver, Alf, Stallone and King Leonidas) and myself were also there... remember us?

[@alex-sq2ui]

Yefry Arias Quesada yah i was siting next to y’all with my friends Donald Trump, Justin Bieber, Floyd Mayweather and Dan Blizerian

[@nohandleXD]

Wow, lucky!

[@reason5591]

Great story thanks for sharing ✌💜

[@donnasmith7988]

@@andrewariasquesada4944 What are you talking about? This festival is only about 40 minutes from my house. Of course, I was there. In fact, I was there with Wanda for the entire 3 days. In fact, my phone has it's own version of this performance!

[@Blue-rl5dp]

One of the best renditions of this piece. Excellent.

[@shawna-rayeking7885]

Everything Sawyer sings is transformed in the most amazing and personal way. So moving

[@lulupool1992]

Insanely in love with everything he represents.

[@echoman556]

I love Sawyer Fredericks! I love your original recordings most of all.

[@freespiritwithnature4384]

[@loragarver2856]

I am so happy Sawyer is able to do what he loves so much. I think he was one of the best, if not best performers on the Voice. I love the joy on his face when he sings. He just lights up the screen.

[@patribrussou]

What a gift my friend soul, 🌺 share love 🌈🙏

[@raelyn505]

[@denimbluz1001]

[@ronaldokerlan6949]

hey, i´m from in Angola, Africa..., dude...DAMN...it was fantastic really

[@yodeck4814]

I love this version of my all time favorite song - Sawyer Fredericks makes it a favorite to treasure! Thank you! I caught a live broadcast earlier today - he's so good & strong!

[@robinbutler4515]

I can sit and listen to Sawyer all day! His voice is mesmerizing. ❤️👏👏👏

[@crystalbay4037]

Your voice takes me to a time I never got to be in, a time when people like John Denver, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young were telling stories through their music. Thank you Sawyer! The purity of your voice and lyrics is so refreshing. I also love listening to your covers, you blow me away! The raw grit in your voice is captivating, you give me goosebumps.

[@LuniversDeNuna]

Sawyer, You are a Being of Light ! 🙏

[@maryjanemiles3525]

Sawyer is the best voice winner ever!

[@nicholasthompson9771]

this gives me goosebumps

[@madgixxer06]

Wow!!! This dude is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@zenithj3815]

His covers are always special. But I find his original music more interesting and on fire. Here's this mostly self-taught young folk/Americana dude who writes his own songs whose band of musicians are jazz music majors. He was the youngest male winner of The Voice (US) 5 years ago and has since released 3 albums of his originals. This is a song he wrote while doing The Voice (age 16) mostly about his disillusionment and homesickness. It's show-stopping good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZfOYYuVq9R-oKc

[@elenaHernandez-nu7fw]

Love your version i have all your songs i can get

[@AmazonAmanda]

Sawyer tears my soul out every time he opens his mouth.. just awe striking
