Where She’s From

hen she was a student at Wimberley High School, bluegrass prodigy Sarah Jarosz was already mesmerizing audiences across the country with her nimble mandolin playing, honey-rich voice, and down-to-earth demeanor. Today, the 29-year-old carries the landscapes and spirit of the Hill Country with her, touring the world as a solo Americana artist and as a founding member of I’m With Her, a progressive folk trio with Sara Watkins and Aoife O’Donovan. Jarosz’s fifth album, , released this summer, reverberates with characters and imagery spun from Jarosz’s memories of growing up in Wimberley. Although she has lived in New York City since 2013 and counts three Grammy Awards among her achievements, Jarosz says her creativity still draws on the hills, rivers, and songs of Texas.
