Sarah Jarosz — Shrewsbury Folk Festival, 2017

Live concert film of Sarah Jarosz at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival in England in 2017. An American multi-instrumentalist from Texas (mandolin, octave mandolin, banjo, guitar) and a clear-voiced singer, Sarah Jarosz is a figure of the new folk and americana, a multiple Grammy Award winner from the earliest years of her career. Her set, drawing heavily on her album Undercurrent (2016), highlights precise string playing and intimately written songs on the border of bluegrass, folk and acoustic pop. The festival capture, from one of the most respected events of the British folk circuit, conveys an acoustic concert where instrumental virtuosity always serves the song and the accuracy of the singing. A fine overview of the work of a central artist of the 2010s folk-americana scene, also a member of the trio I’m With Her. With no official setlist published, the song order is not reliably documented. Keywords: Sarah Jarosz live, Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2017, folk, americana, bluegrass, mandolin, live concert film.
