On Friday, June 3, singer/songwriter Sarah Jarosz will be at Tryon Fine Arts Center for an 8 p.m. performance, accompanied by Alex Hargreaves on fiddle and Nathaniel Smith on cello.
A 2009 Grammy nominee, the 20-year-old Jarosz has taken the Americana and bluegrass world by storm, with a release this month of her second album, “Follow Me Down.”
In her first recording in 2009, “Song Up in Her Head,” she chose a more traditional bluegrass sound. With the new release, Jarosz explores other musical ideas, “changing from a sweet-sounding folksinger to a sultry and contemporary musician,” hails NPR radio. “The fact that she’s convincing at both is pretty remarkable.”
The fiddle and cello players joining Jarosz are 17 and 18 years of age. Jarosz is passing through on her way from the Spoleto Festival to Blackberry Farm, Tenn.
Tickets are on sale now at the box office, open Tuesday – Friday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Visit sarajarosz.com to listen to her music, and tryonarts.org for more information, or call 828-859-8322.
