This is truly what music is all about. WHY is the view count so low ?!!! This deserves millions at the least !
Many agree. His loyal fans promote him whenever we can. His type of music (folk/rock/blues) isn't that popular in the US & his record label did very little promotion. They parted ways this year. Now he, his mom (manager) and band are doing this on their own. He has written & produced a new LP, Hide Your Ghost, that will be released soon.
don't worry im gonna watch it million times !
From Finland ! holy crap !
Sawyer your voice sings to my soul, could listen to you every minute of everyday. Do not let fame go to your head, stay clean and great. You have an incredible gift from GOD. Can hardly wait to see you next month in person.
I really love your voice, I love your style, and I love your music ....
you are incredible sawyer, never change, never ...
do not let people tell you that you can not because you are the only one who will decide if you can or not.
good luck sawyer
I could listen to his voice forever
Soul,heart and life✨❣ Sawyer the Best of Best!💫💫💫
Sawyer I'm addicted to your voice😍
ArDAlia welcome to the club
Same
This Boy Is Awesome.God Bless You
Sawyer is more "nature" than I could have ever have imagined. I said that from start when he was on the Voice. I'm your biggest fan!
Sawyer fans, please highly suggest to the reactors to singers on Utube. He's well worth exposing to the world to listen. His unique voice should to be heard not to mention his fantastic song writing and guitar accompaniment.
My Lord Sawyer how can you keep getting greater and greater.. You're my hero..
Awesome performance!😍
his voice is soulful, love it.
That's unbelievable.
Magnificent vocal, reverb just right. Wow!
Great song, unbelievable voice! So much better than overproduced pop we hear everywhere! Undenied talent!
Damn man.. I LOVE this song. Crazy awesome.
We will never get tired of your music. 😊💙 great job!
Sawyer you're a totally different man.
so much love from MOROCCO
Always gives me goosebumps! What I don't understand is why this boy ain't every where right now! Why don't I hear this song and others on the radio! Guess he should have been on Blake's team lol I want to buy this song but its not on amazon yet!
In case you haven't seen it yet, his LP, Hide Your Ghost was released the end of March. Should be able to download on Amazon, itunes, hear on streaming services, and FYE stores are carrying the CD exclusively. You can order all of his music from sawyerfredericks.com. Most radio stations are no longer locally owned, so you can't request music because their playlists come from corporate offices. You might hear Sawyer on Adult Alternative Album format stations-usually independent or publicly owned.
Please come to Coventry in England!! We never have anyone sing around here... and I'd die if you came here... ♡
Love the band! Please God let Sawyer come to Boston!
Man, I so can't wait to hear you in October!!! Keep it up Sawyer ✌✌✌✌✌
Love this song ❤
Great music.
Legend
Amazing!!!!
I remember seeing you on the voice when I was younger and it inspired me. Because someone around my age could go and win and make a change. I think your a amazing singer and you really inspired me to sing. I also love the songs you sing.
Thx Sawyer!
I hope that someday you'll come to Moscow!
total fan here.
Love the dark place this song takes you to. Beautiful and haunting. Sawyer, you are a musical genius!!!
Lindo! Brasil aqui marcando presença. Adoro sua voz! Parabéns. Um beijo.
This is freaking good!! WOW!!
Was there to hear this incredible performance live! Loved it and the entire show!
Ricos DD i was at troubadour too, my first concert and i was blown away by sawyer's musical magic. Long hours of Flying to LA from my country was all worth it!
Love this song!! You have the most incredible voice, love the raspy sound and the growl, so unique, one of a kind!!
You're are the best!
Glad that you are still making good music, still a winner voice!
he has passed that stage well and beyond... The moment he picked Pharrell he proved he was a truly independent artist. Magnificent voice, old soul.
Súper linda voz , me enamora 💗💗

Heya. I saw you on a random UA-cam video and your so good! I think your my 2nd favourite singer now! ♡
Edit: Where are you from? ♡
He's from upstate New York :)
Glad you found him, an amazingly talented singer/songwriter/guitarist who also works on his family farm in New York State. Look for his studio album, A Good Storm, and Hide Your Ghost, his soon-to-be-released independent, self-produced album. Also many live performance videos on Newyorker9 and Jam in the Van youtube channels.
Zenith J Thanks for telling me! I'll probably go to a Live Performance in the future.
Do you know when Hide Your Ghost will be released?
Terry McDonald No.. I don't...
PLEASE COME TO PORTLAND OREGON SAWYER
Aww, he's performed in Portland 3 times already! The first time as opener for Langhorne Slim, last year on the A Good Storm Tour, and just last August on the Hide Your Ghost Tour. Go to sawyerfredericks dot com and sign up for his newsletter or sign up on bandsintown so you don't miss him again.
I will!! Thank you!!

Please pair self with Justin Johnson.
Sawyer you know how talented you are but your music is depressing
Its his own brand of folk/rock/BLUES. He admits he has a hard time writing happy songs. A lot of people find his music more cathartic than depressing.
I appreciate the feedback, and knowing he has addressed it. I loved him on the Voice, of course saw his raw talent, but for me this show was more about hanging with my kids. So seeing someone of his gift, in this case, I seriously looked forward to seeing 'the real Sawyer,' just knowing he had his own stuff. You are so right, his voice itself when he cranks is hugely cathartic. The first song of his own I heard I thought was sad, but this is the song I had to comment on, it's flat out accusatory...put me through the floor myself. I couldn't even wait for the good stuff I knew was coming first time. I'm still here now, listening while responding...minute left to go, getting harder. Holy shit, I've got half a mind to kill you? He seemed like such a basically happy person on the show. (Although once or twice I wondered if the sweet flower child thing was quite as heavy in real life. There was once or twice when I thought he batted his eyes just a teeny bit too hard.) But before all this just popped up in my face, I was going to just say that once when visiting my older daughter at art school, all the stuff on the walls was really so heavy and dark, and it concerned me. She said it was so much easier to be authentic expressing negativity, hard to not get smarmy if positive. She had a point, I thought. This is harder it's true, you have to be so seriously powerful to inspire approval and not disdain if it's a positive message, that's for sure...and I thought maybe this was about maturing into more self confidence and developing one's art instead of playing it so safe, especially at school where you regularly get critiqued, you know? And I thought it applied to Sawyer too, the maturity and development of one's art...but holy shit, this last line actually kind of scares me. I'd have left too...nothing like a good old fashioned guilt trip (in triple spades) to get the hell away from! I remain open minded enough not to make assumptions, but if this song is a reflection of who Sawyer Fredericks is as a person, he has already learned a lot of narcissistic behavior. That last line is flat out disturbing...
Sawyer has said that his songs aren't necessarily about him or his experiences. He says he puts himself in an imaginary scenario to convey emotion. This song is about the conflicting emotions one feels when betrayed by someone they love. I think he's also a keen observer of what's around him, and may have picked up on someone else's personal story. I've heard people say about this song and "Broken Home" that they've experienced these things and thank him for conveying how they felt. Sawyer comes from folk and blues traditions that are sorrowful. Plus I think teens often focus on dark things because they're becoming aware of the darkness of the world as they emerge from the protective cocoon of childhood. In fact, Sawyer's latest unfinished song is about someone who is asking a person they love to stop being protective: "don't need you to take my scars... I want you to tear me apart." (See youtube video titled "Sawyer Fredericks Untitled Sept. 6, 2017 Slowdown Omaha NE.") That said, I've seen him in person 3 times in the last year or so. While he's gained on-stage confidence and is less uncomfortable when cheered, he often uses self-deprecating humor on stage. And while he may sometimes come across as an angry lion in a song, at meet-and-greets he's surprisingly meek and mild-mannered. He takes his music seriously and is proud of doing things his own way, but the last word I'd use to describe him is narcissistic. Check out other songs on youtube like "Silent World" and "Hide Your Ghost." I think there's genuine concern for others there.
