Bentley's Bandstand
It is not an everyday event when a young star is born in the bluegrass world. But that is exactly what is happening here. Sarah Jarosz might still be a teenager, but she has the soul of someone who's lived a lifetime. Not only that, her voice gives off a timeless beauty that turns dark days bright and helps us believe goodness will somehow win out. The way she sings any style of song shows Jarosz was born with greatness inside. Her accomplished original songs stand right next to Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan's "Come on Up to the House," and point to a brand new force in bluegrass-braced music that is just now starting to be felt. Throw in her mean mandolin playing on Song Up In Her Head and it's clear the world is wide open for Sarah Jarosz. She has the attention of all the masters, and is fast becoming one of them.
