If Sarah Jarosz Has Earned Anything, It's an End to All That Talk About How
If Sarah Jarosz has earned anything, it’s an end to all that talk about how mature she is for her age. It was understandable that people would marvel at the poise the singer- songwriter-picker showed as a teenaged debut artist. But by now she’s spent half a decade in the spotlight, completed a degree at the New England Conservatory, guested on Tim O’Brien, Crooked Still and Kate Rusby albums and recorded three of her own. O’Brien, Crooked Still’s Aoife O’Donovan, and virtually every other innovative A-lister in the contemporary acoustic world were all over Jarosz’s first and second collections. But her latest, Build Me Up From Bones, puts her nimble trio (with Alex Hargreaves on fiddle and Nathaniel Smith on cello) and expressive self-realization front and center. To put it another way, she sounds like the tuned-in young woman she is. There’s just one more thing you ought to know about Jarosz at this juncture, and that is that she’s a real trooper. The day of our interview, my phone line was plagued with dense, unrelenting static; I might as well have had it plugged into a white noise machine at full volume. Faced with having to communicate through that racket, many an interviewee wouldn’t have been able to hold it together, or wouldn’t have even tried. But she was a total, thoughtful pro. JH: You recorded Build Me Up From Bones during your final semester of college. That makes this the first time you’ve gone into the album promotion cycle without having all those competing demands on your time and energy.

Band the Rank Strangers, Pete Vendettuoli
Roots Report: On the Road Again Okee dokee folks … I am on my way back north going 70mph along Route 95. No, I am not driving. My girlfriend is. I have written my column in odd places before, but never in a moving car. We just spent a week at her father’s in South Carolina. It was interesting to be there considering I am not a fan of the south nor am I a fan of the hot weather. The temperature averaged ABOVE 95 degrees the whole time that we were there. Thank goodness for air conditioning. It took two days of driving to travel the 1,100 miles. We went the long way around and down in order to avoid cities and traffic. No, we weren’t on the lam! Route 95 tends to attract traffic, which we are hitting only 20 miles into our return journey. GRRRRR!!! It seemed an odd time to be visiting SC in light of the church shootings and Confederate flag controversy. Honestly, other than the news on TV, we didn’t hear anything about those issues. In fact, I didn’t see one Confederate flag anywhere. We were kind of in a bubble. We stayed at a gated community for people 55 and over. It was a HUGE place that felt like a small town. They have their own rules and security force. Oh, and alligators! The gators will just hang out in people’s backyards or along the side of the road depending on the time of day. Unfortunately, I only saw the top of one’s head and another one swimming away along a drainage ditch.

Sarah Jarosz's Build Me up from Bones Receives Rave Reviews from The
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 2013 SARAH JAROSZ’S BUILD ME UP FROM BONES RECEIVES RAVE REVIEWS FROM THE PRESS ALBUM QUICKLY ASCENDS TO #2 SPOT ON AMERICANA RADIO CHART “With ‘Build Me Up From Bones’ (Sugar Hill) her third album, she moves past precocity toward the full bloom of artistry: the singing is more deeply self- assured, and the songs are grounded in truer emotional terrain.” - The New York Times Nashville, TN – Build Me Up From Bones, the third studio album from 22-year old Grammy nominated singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sarah Jarosz has received unanimous praise from the press. Released on September 24th, the album has quickly jumped to the #2 spot at Americana radio. After four years of balancing a career with her studies at the New England Conservatory, Jarosz, along with musicians Alex Hargreaves on fiddle and Nathaniel Smith on cell0, both prodigies in their own right, are hitting the road uninterrupted for the first time ever. Positive response for Build Me Up From Bones has come from a wide range of outlets including USA Today, Boston Globe, CMT Edge, Southern Living, American Songwriter, Texas Monthly, M Music & Musicians, Texas Music Magazine, Fretboard Journal, Lone Star Music, Christian Science Monitor, Country Weekly, The Austin Chronicle, PopMatters.com, Stereo Subversion, Nashville Scene and The Chicago Reader who wrote, “…her lyrics have a cosmic streak, but her dynamic arrangements and adaptations of traditional forms keep the music grounded.” Famed economist Paul Krugman, a longtime supporter and true believer, premiered Jarosz’s video for “1,000 Things” in his widely read New York Times blog, and the trio recently taped a NPR Tiny Desk Concert to be posted later this year.

Sarah Jarosz Undercurrent
Sarah Jarosz Undercurrent "I really like that word," Sarah Jarosz says of the title of Undercurrent, her fourth Sugar Hill album. "If you look up the definition, it's 'an underlying feeling or influence' or 'a flow of water moving below the surface.' To me, that really encompasses the feeling behind this record." That evocative imagery is appropriate for Undercurrent, whose 11 original songs seem to reveal new lyrical depth and sonic nuance with every listen. A gifted multi-instrumentalist, a singularly expressive vocalist and a songwriter of rare insight, Sarah Jarosz has been described by The New York Times as "one of acoustic music's most promising young talents: a singer-songwriter and mandolin and banjo prodigy with the taste and poise to strike that rare balance of commercial and critical success." Although it's her fourth album, Undercurrent is a milestone for Jarosz in more ways than one. It's her first release since graduating with honors from the New England Conservatory of Music, and her first since relocating to New York City. "This is the first record I've made since being out on my own and experiencing a lot of changes, and I think that that's reflected in the songs," Jarosz explains. "It's also the first record I've ever made that feels to me like a complete thought, with a beginning, a middle and an ending. It's also the first time I've made an album that doesn't have any covers on it. I wanted it to feel like the rollercoaster ride that is life, so I put a lot of thought into sequencing the songs.

The Roots Report: the Soundtrack of Summer
The Roots Report: The Soundtrack of Summer Okee dokee folks … “Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.” That line is from one of the best summer songs ever recorded: “Summer Breeze” by Seals and Crofts. If summer had the feel of this song, I might like it more, but it usually leans more toward Bananarama’s “Cruel Summer,” so I am miserable during the heat of June, July and August. Whatever the weather, a good soundtrack for the season definitely makes it more bearable. There is plenty of music to go around this summer. Check back throughout the summer months to find out the best choices for “Hot Fun in the Summer time” (that’s Sly, baby!). Read on for what I have now … What better way to celebrate the official start of summer? The Blackstone River Theatre moves their Celtic and world music programming outside on June 20 as they celebrate the 5th Annual Blackstone River Theatre Summer Solstice Festival at Diamond Hill Park in Cumberland.
