Sawyer Fredericks The Voice Performances

From February to May 2015, Fredericks competed on the eighth season of The Voice. Talent scouts from the show invited him to participate in pre-show auditions after taking notice of YouTube videos of his singing. On his televised blind audition he sang “I’m a Man of Constant Sorrow”, a traditional folksong he had earlier adapted to perform while busking.

Coaches Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, and Christina Aguilera turned around their chairs within ten seconds, and Blake Shelton joined them 40 seconds later. Fredericks chose Williams as his coach. In his Battle round, Fredericks teamed up with Noelle Bybee to sing Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” and was chosen by Williams to advance.

In his Knockout round, Fredericks sang in a three-way match with Mia Z. and Paul Pfau, after Anthony Riley withdrew from the competition. Fredericks’ performance of Howie Day’s “Collide” earned him (along with Mia Z.) an advance into the Top 20.

In the Playoff rounds, Fredericks advanced to the Top 12 covering Ray LaMontagne’s “Trouble”, and to the Top 10 with John Lennon’s “Imagine”. Falsetto notes in the latter presented a challenge to Fredericks, whose voice was changing.

He received the first iTunes Singles Chart top 10 multiplier bonus of the competition with “Imagine”, reaching the second position by the close of the voting window. He advanced to the Top Eight with Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” (reaching the fourth position on iTunes, edged out by Koryn Hawthorne at third), and to the Top Six with Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” (reaching the second position on iTunes).

In the Top Six, Fredericks performed Al Green’s “Take Me to the River” (reaching the tenth position on iTunes), featuring an energetic teen dance troupe surrounding the more reserved singer. For his Mother’s Day dedication song Fredericks was allowed, in a rare move by The Voice, to choose a song which hadn’t been released by a major label, May Erlewine’s “Shine On”.

In a further twist, Erlewine revealed that while giving permission for use of the song, she was nevertheless a strong backer of The Voice competitor Joshua Davis. “Shine On” rose to the third position on iTunes, the highest-rated song on The Voice that week.

The day after the Top Six results show, he returned to New York for a homecoming visit, participating in a parade and performance of three songs before over 4,000 people at Fonda Speedway (Fultonville, New York), and an evening concert at the Palace Theatre.

In the Top Five, Fredericks’ covers of Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” and Buffalo Springfield’s “For What it’s Worth” both garnered him the highest ratings of the week, reaching the second and third positions on iTunes, respectively.

For the May 18, 2015 finale show, Fredericks released the single “Please” (an original song written by Ray Lamontagne) and an accompanying music video. For his duet selection, Fredericks and Williams performed the Seals and Crofts tune “Summer Breeze”.

The show ended with Fredericks’ cover of Neil Young’s “Old Man”. By noon the next day, “Summer Breeze” had reached the nineteenth position on iTunes, “Old Man” the third, and “Please” the second. On the May 19, 2015 results show, Fredericks, shared the stage with John Fogerty in a medley of Creedence Clearwater Revival hits — “Born on the Bayou”, “Bad Moon Rising” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain”.

Apparent audio problems affected the broadcast. Fredericks was declared the winner at the end of the show, with Meghan Linsey second, Joshua Davis third, and Koryn Hawthorne fourth. Winning contestants receive $100,000 and a recording contract with Republic Records.

According to Republic, Fredericks broke many series sales records for The Voice, with ten singles reaching the iTunes top 10, and 14 singles charting in the Top 200 during the final week. A total of nearly one million digital singles were sold in the course of the show.

Throughout the competition, Fredericks maintained a strong social media presence, with leading numbers of followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Sawyer Fredericks Interview

Sawyer Fredericks is a storyteller. In an age dominated by frothy pop-confessional hitmaking, Fredericks is bare-bones and old school -— a throwback to the oldest folk traditions of singer as yarn-spinner, a ragged narrator of human spit and struggle.

He was a Fultonville farm boy of 12 when he first sang his aching songs of darkness, 15 when he auditioned for “The Voice” with “I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow” (and sold it), 17 when he released an album full of heartache after winning the show. And here he is, almost two years later, singing of life and death and the shadows between on “Hide Your Ghost,” a fresh crop of 11 songs poised for release on March 30 — the day before his 19th birthday.

The topics and tone are as anguished as they ever were, the voice as gravelly and soulful. But it’s deeper. He’s older. The disconnect between the songwriter and the songs has narrowed some as Fredericks’ experiences have broadened; a guy pushing 20 can snarl at his woman about the other man in “our bed” with a smidge more authenticity than a kid who’s not yet shaving.

But as Fredericks made clear on “The Voice” — and as he makes clear, once again, on “Hide Your Ghost” — the stories he tells are not his own. He’s not the man of woe he sang of as a boy. There are exceptions: in “Angel’s Skin,” he describes his lifelong struggle with sleep paralysis and the sense, as he lies awake unable to move, that a “demon in angel’s skin” is whispering and laughing nearby.

And yet the same album boasts “Half a Mind,” a startling quasi-murder ballad sung from the P.O.V. of a betrayed lover contemplating violence: “I’ve got half a mind to kill you … ’cause you knew that I’d find out / Yes, you knew that I’d cut him down.” Clearly, this is not the mild-mannered kid with the long mane and the quiet air of casual self-possession tucked under his bowler — nor is he anywhere to be found in “Broken Home,” the agonized lament of a son witnessing his mother’s flight from his abusive father.

”Father’s tears tell me Mother’s gone/And I’m not welcome no more

Screaming at me, saying, “It’s your fault that she’s gone.

So get out of my house, you worthless son.”

It’s a lovely, lilting tune, incongruously bright on an album that otherwise spends most of its time hanging in minor keys. “This world is full of monsters,” sings Fredericks in the opening line of the title track, which opens the album, which has more to say about the demons within than anything hoofing around outside. In “Moving the Sky,” he sings of sleep and interminable night; in “Window,” it’s remorse and depression; in “Red Memories,” he might be describing the lingering scars of trauma.

All of the album’s tracks build on the same careful framework: a spare acoustic opening gradually gives way to a subtle arrangement of instruments, thickening with a bit of percussion, a layering of piano, a snarling riff of electric guitar. Almost all of them are slow. Almost all of them are dark. But all of them are poignant and considered, and all reflect the intensity and direction of a young artist determined to make his own way.

Unlike “A Good Storm,” his first official post-“Voice” album, “Hide Your Ghost” was written and produced entirely by Fredericks, and it never steps too far afield from his home territory of rough-edged indie folk. The crowd-funded album is being released independently on Windrake Recordings, named after the 88-acre Montgomery County farm where the singer lives with his parents and brothers and mucks his share of stalls. “Going independent felt like a risk,” he says in the liner notes, “but working with artistic freedom and integrity makes it all worth it.”

There are no co-written forays into pop or country this time, no funk-splashed tracks produced by Pharrell, his old “Voice” coach. It’s raw Sawyer, channeling lost souls and following them into the duskier corners of human suffering. There’s a lot of heartbreak and soured romance — in the gritty “Gasoline” (“Oh, I ain’t no toy”), in the relatively uptempo “Should’ve Known Better (“I know that you don’t love me, never will”), in the bitter “Stone” (“Just like you, darling, just one more statue in this cold”).

But on the 11th and final track, “How Beautiful,” he sings to a woman he once loved and loves again, cautiously. (“I know, I’ve hurt you too/but don’t ask me to leave.”) The song is marked by hope — not drunk on it, maybe, but spiked with it.

And in that tune, twining love with fear, attaching a major-key melody to memories of pain, the kid from Montgomery County sounds the most mature. It’ll be interesting to see where he takes this, moving forward. It’ll be interesting to hear him venture out beyond those dark walls and clouded windows, bringing his prodigious gifts to the songs and stories of people who elbow the glass, push outside and find a patch of light amid the shadows.

Sawyer Fredericks is, after all, a storyteller. It’s a wide world, and he’s only just started. I wonder what he’ll make of it.
