Timeless FolkBy Kate McNally on Monday, August 18, 2008.I had an opportunity to see a rising star, Sarah Jarosz, (pronounced JaROSE) at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival. She’s only 16 years old and has shared the stage with some of the best bluegrass musicians around. At Grey Fox she was sharing the Masters Stage with David Grisman and Ronnie McCoury. She plays mandolin, claw hammer banjo and guitar and has a voice that has the soul of seasoned performer. She just signed with Sugar Hill records and should be putting out an album sometime in the near future. Visit her myspace page and sample her playing for yourself. |
