Sarah Jarosz


Sarah Jarosz is a bluegrass multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter. Jarosz was born in Austin, TX, but was raised in Wimberley, TX. She picked up the mandolin at age 10 and has been called "a songwriter of uncommon wisdom" by the Austin Chronicle. Fourteen year old Sarah Jarosz emerged on the scene around 2005 as someone to watch. Jamming onstage with bluegrass icons such as David Grisman and Ricky Skaggs. She then started writing songs on the guitar and took up the banjo. While her instrumental talents are formidable, Sarah is very much a singer. During her senior year in high school Jarosz released her debut album, writing all but two of the thirteen tracks. This was followed up her freshman year in college (New England Conservatory of Music) with her second album (released May 2011). This is "Tell Me True" off of her debut album Song Up In Her Head.
