Sarah Jarosz is a multi-talented American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Texas, who has carved a niche for herself in the contemporary folk and roots music scene. Born on May 23, 1991, in Austin, Jarosz showed a natural affinity towards music at a very young age, mastering instruments like the mandolin, banjo, and guitar. She emerged on the scene with her debut album "Song Up in Her Head" in 2009, while still a teenager, immediately earning acclaim for her mature songwriting and deft instrumental work.

Jarosz's music is a blend of Americana traditions and modern acoustic sounds, resulting in a catalog of work that is both innovative and reverent of its roots. After her debut, she continued building her discography with critically acclaimed albums such as "Build Me Up From Bones" and the Grammy Award-winning "Undercurrent" in 2016. With her fifth studio album, "World On The Ground", released in 2020, Jarosz garnered further recognition, winning the Grammy Award for Best Americana Album. Her songcraft is marked by introspective lyrics and her warm, expressive voice, often exploring themes of self-discovery, place, and identity. Whether through evocative solo projects or collaborations in the folk supergroup I'm With Her, Sarah Jarosz has established herself as a distinctive voice bridging the past and present of folk music.
