Sarah Jarosz – Polaroid Lovers

Wednesday, January 17, 2024 By Shawn Underwood

Back in 2005 I had the pleasure of seeing a then-13-year-old Sarah Jarosz in cut-offs and black high-tops shredding her mandolin on a couple of bluegrass numbers in the spot she’d earned by winning the previous year’s youth talent contest at Old Settler’s Music Festival. Several of the other acts that year invited her up […]

I’m With Her – See You Around

Wednesday, February 07, 2018 By Shawn Underwood

The term “folk supergroup” seems a little like an oxymoron.  Calling anyone in the folk music business a superstar is probably pushing it.  Having said that, there aren’t many musicians in this genre that can draw crowds like Sarah Jarosz, Sara Watkins, or Aoife O’Donovan pull in individually.  So if they do something together, yeah, I […]

Sarah Jarosz – Follow Me Down

Thursday, May 19, 2011 By Shawn Underwood

Covering the likes of Radiohead and Edgar Allen Poe in addition to her own superb songwriting, the single word to describe the latest effort from Sarah Jarosz would have to be “diversity”.  With a supporting cast of Americana and pop stars seemingly unavailable to any other musician under 70 years of age (Sarah was 19 […]

Sarah Jarosz – The New 45

Monday, December 20, 2010 By Kelly Dearmore

In the world of bluegrass and roots music, few, if any, have been buzzed about louder than Sarah Jarosz has been in the last couple of years. Unlike so many other hyped-up youngsters, however, the current musical student (it’s likely she could take many of her fellow pupils to school, if you know what I […]

The Longwalls – Dark Academy

Friday, April 02, 2010 By Shawn Underwood

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like there’s a recent trend in the land of Twang to add some of the production values and philosophical, lyrical meanderings of the indie music scene into the roots and country values that have defined Americana.  I’m not saying this is bad, or even new; in fact I’d […]

Sarah Jarosz – Song Up In Her Head

Wednesday, June 17, 2009 By Shawn Underwood

Five years ago a skinny 13-year-old in black high tops took the stage at Old Settler’s Music Fest in Austin and proceeded to leave me, and most of the crowd, slack-jawed at her mandolin skills and innate stage presence.  Fast forward to today and Sarah Jarosz has performed with some of the biggest names in […]
