Jarosz plays the Greagle Friday. Win two tix: Just be the first to tell us the name of her debut album. Please give your first and last name in your comment.

Sarah Jarosz has as rich a skill set as anybody in acoustic music. She plays—not just one instrument, but enough of them to be a one-woman string band: mandolin, octave mandolin, clawhammer banjo and guitar. She sings—in supple tones that transcend the boundaries between folk and pop – and she writes—old-timey ballads and modern singer-songwriter ruminations alike. Raised 30 miles out of Austin in Wimberley, Tex., Jarosz blossomed within the local music scene and well beyond it, earning admirers from Austin City Limit’s Terry Lickona to acoustic music mavens Tim O’Brien and Chris Thile with her mature sensibilities. She released her debut, Song Up In Her Head, on Sugar Hill Records the year she graduated high school. What followed was a move to Boston’s prestigious New England Conservatory, a GRAMMY nomination and performances on “Austin City Limits” and “A Prairie Home Companion” as well as prestigious music festivals–Bonnaroo, Telluride and Newport, to name a few. In 2011, Jarosz channels her ever-broadening musical horizons onto her second album, Follow Me Down, which again showcases her songwriting, offers two tasty covers and includes a number of top-notch guests from the Punch Brothers to Shawn Colvin.

        Thanks, I certainly will enjoy the show. I have attended more music shows that I could possibly count, all genre’s, and must say, Sarah puts on one of the most incredibly pure shows I have ever witnessed. Thanks again.
