Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Jarosz was seemingly born a musician -- she was already a virtuoso on mandolin by the time she was 10. Jarosz left no doubt as to where her future was going, and at 12 years old she was jamming with the likes of David Grisman and Ricky Skaggs on-stage. But she wasn't really bluegrass so much as she was something else: a fine and graceful songwriter with a sweet, timeless voice that gave her songs and well-chosen covers tremendous resonance. With her fourth album, Undercurrent, Jarosz made a studied departure from her previous records, shifting the emphasis from her skills as a multi-instrumentalist to her songwriting and vocal performance. The record took home two Grammy Awards in 2017-Best Folk Album and Best American Roots Performance for "House Of Mercy." Undercurrent also picked up the award for 2017 Album of the Year from Folk Alliance International. I'm With Her's (feat. Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O'Donovan) single "Call My Name" also took home the 2020 GRAMMY Award for Best American Roots Song. Jarosz continues to make frequent appearances on the Chris Thile-hosted "Live From Here" (formerly A Prairie Home Companion) and in 2020, she will tour extensively in support of her new album World On The Ground.

Sarah Jarosz's fifth studio album World On The Ground is arguably her finest work to date. Jarosz worked closely with producer John Leventhal on World On The Ground, which offers up some of Jarosz's best songwriting to date, and showcases that she is one of the most stirring musicians of her generation. This 10 song album is thoroughly beautiful and a testament to Jarosz's innate ability to capture the hearts of fans around the globe. World On The Ground is due June 5, 2020.
