But as National Public Radio has put it, the versatile star “seemed to emerge fully formed.” Indeed, when the Austin native released her debut disc Song Up in Her Head in 2009, the just-turned-18- year-old garnered her first Grammy nomination, Best Country Instrumental Performance, for the song “Mansinneedof.” With the release of her third and most ambitious studio effort, Build Me Up from Bones , Jarosz is back on the Grammy nominees list, with nods for Best Folk Album and Best American Roots Song for the self-penned title track. Jarosz is a prodigious musician, who first picked up the mandolin at the age of ten; she also mastered the clawhammer banjo and the guitar. She recounted to Texas Monthly how she went, around that time, to see Nickel Creek in concert and waited after the show to get an autograph from another former child prodigy, mandolinist Chris Thile, who left her with the scribbled words, “Let’s jam sometime.” He wasn’t kidding: Thile has not only performed with Jarosz on stage, but has guest-starred on all three of her discs, along with such country, folk, and bluegrass luminaries as singers Shawn Colvin, Aoife O’Donovan, and Vince Gill; guitarists Jerry Douglas and Darrell Scott; violinist Stuart Duncan; banjo player Béla Fleck; and various members of the Punch Brothers. (The Punch Brothers backed Jarosz on a genre-expanding rendition of Radiohead’s “The Tourist” for her 2011 sophomore disc, Follow Me Down .) Though her youthful career was off to an auspicious start, Jarosz chose to set aside the life of a full-time touring musician to enroll at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, performing on weekends and on school breaks, and recording as her studies allowed. This was an unconventional path for a budding star, but one that has enriched her songwriting, along with her worldview, as the preternaturally sophisticated Build Me Up from Bones so often proves. Says Jarosz, “I feel like I’ve grown as a person, espe - cially in these last few years. I latched onto music as a child and it became my main way of expressing myself. But through college I got into other creative outlets: art, painting, and poetry. It helped me to come back to music in a deeper way, to follow deeper trails and meanings and feelings.” Reviewing Build Me Up from Bones , the New York Times noted, “Ms. Jarosz is expand - ing her beloved Americana roots in both sound and message. Her lyrics have a mystical streak, projecting love and loneliness across the landscape and the sky. And the string- band heritage matters to her, but so does what she can convey, here and now with her chosen instruments and modern technology, about ‘the way I feel inside.’” The daringly pared-down arrangements of her latest work especially suit the trio format in which Jarosz prefers to work in the studio, with fiddler Alex Hargreaves and cellist Nathaniel Smith. Her cover of Bob Dylan’s “Simple Twist of Fate” features no more than her echo - ing voice and the plucking of a cello, yet Jarosz brings this bittersweet tale to fresh, deeply emotive, cinematically vivid life. She also jazzily reinterprets eccentric folkie Joanna Newsom’s “The Book of Right-On.” 02-12 Jarosz_GP 1/30/14 3:27 PM Page 4 Lincoln Center For critics, fellow musicians, and fans, Sarah Jarosz is now a decidedly established pres - ence on the contemporary roots music scene and beyond. For Jarosz herself, however, it seems like the adventure is just beginning. With Build Me Up from Bones , she says, “I wanted to create a rollercoaster of different sounds, emotions, and feelings, and not one even line…. It feels true to me: unique and new.” Hear Them Loud: The Milk Carton Kids As Joey Ryan, one half of the Milk Carton Kids, tells it, the acoustic guitar-based pair owes its existence to a dead dog—more to the point, to the memoir left behind by an especially thoughtful and forgiving canine, recently struck by a car, that Kenneth Pattengale had con - jured up in a plaintive tune he’d written. As Ryan told the audience of A Prairie Home Companion , he’d first heard “Memoirs of an Owned Dog” at one of Pattengale’s shows in Los Angeles and knew that he had to introduce himself to this singer-songwriter, whom he instantly perceived as a kindred spirit. Though both Pattengale and Ryan had pursued solo careers, touring and releasing several albums independently, they quickly nurtured an almost fraternal connection as harmonizing singers and composers. The pair started out with some front-porch jamming in their Eagle Rock neighborhood of L.A., then decided to re-record their individual songs as a duo in order to “bury” their solo personas for a 2011 disc called Retrospect that they released for free via their website. New co-written songs came soon after that, as Ryan told No Depression . Their first disc as the Milk Carton Kids “was the result of excited and fevered discovery of each other’s processes, and of being at the beginning of something we felt was important.” The resulting Prologue (2011), like Retrospect , was offered as a free download, a gesture both magnanimous and practical: the duo was assiduously building a community across the country via its easily accessible recorded music and a packed touring schedule. Impressed critics soon followed the fans. After the duo appeared at the 2012 edition of South by Southwest, Time cited them as one of a dozen new acts, from a lineup of thou - sands, to watch that year. The New York Times agreed, praising their “sweetly dazzling variation on close-harmony vocals, part Simon and Garfunkel and part Everly Brothers, with occasional acoustic prestidigitation.” The Milk Carton Kids play vintage guitars—for Pattengale, the flat-picking prestidigitator, a 1954 Martin 0-15 guitar; for Ryan, a 1951 Gibson J45—and their tailored suit-and-tie wardrobe recalls folk groups from decades past (though the look would feel just as au courant right now on the streets of Silver Lake or in many parts of Brooklyn).

The easiest thing would be to thank all the many people that have been contacted during the researching of this history. There has been nothing but cooperation from everyone, for which I am really thankful. However there are a few people who must be given special thanks for their help, patience and forbearance. The first of these must be my wife Katheleen who racked her brains remembering all she could about her family, while digging out all her old photographs and letters. She also listened patiently to my endless theories, hopes, successes and failures, besides searching records in Alberta, Ontario and Ireland Archives and tramping through numerous cemetaries in these same areas. Without her the task would have been considerably harder. The same can be said, in varying degrees, to her family from whom I continually requested information and pictures. Mabel M "Wright" Duncan who wrote "The Duncans of Bethel" must be commended for the work she put into the book, while her niece Margaret Elizabeth Duncan, of Edmonton is thanked for introducing me to it. While on the subject of books Patricia Harts "Pioneering in North York", is a must to anyone who is researching that area.

Or more accurately, by the time our March meeting convenes, we will have sprung forward for daylight savings time, meaning that at least one absent minded member will show up for Performance Hour just in time for Big Band Practice. If you enjoy listening to music as much as you enjoy playing it with the Folk Music Society, I have some suggestions for you on new music. The Punch Brothers resemble a traditional string band -- guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and standup bass. Lead by the virtuoso mandolin player, Chris Thile, the Punch Brothers stay true to the traditional string band format, while using their enormous talents to also make music like a jazz quintet or a classical ensemble.

In an election season where refugees have become such politicized gures, where they’ve been distilled down to talking points and memes and likened to a bowl of Skittles, the Emmylou Harris-helmed benet was a humbling reminder that, above everything else, refugees are just people. They’re just people. Men, women, and children, and in the current refugee crisis, 65 million of them around the world have been displaced from their homes. This isn’t a partisan issue; it’s a humanitarian one. “You can start from a place of fear and suspicion, or you can start from a place of love and compassion,” Joey Ryan, one half of indie-folk duo the Milk Carton Kids said. “We’re all doing this to hopefully promote the latter.” People behind the slew of Facebook comments that litter the event’s posts might want to question their decisions to boycott the concert series for political reasons.
