Telluride Kickoff: Sarah Jarosz
Telluride was kicked off by Sarah Jarosz. Stepping in for Tim O’Brien, the traditional opener, Sarah played a smattering of covers (a shout out to Tim O’Brien to start, Dylan, Patti Griffin), some songs from her debut album, and some new writing she’s done recently. I have to admit, I’m SUPER biased because I absolutely love Sarah Jarosz. I had a chance to hear her last year when the Punch Brothers had her up on stage during their Night Grass set (more on this year’s PB night set on Monday). Additionally, my cousin and sister sang one of her songs at my wedding…

That said, let me tell you that this is one seriously talented woman; a wicked instrumentalist (banjo, guitar, mandolin and others I’m sure) and a hypnotic vocalist. You may have seen her open for Steve Martin or heard her during Emmy season this year. This was a great, stripped-down set, enhanced with a cameo from Tim O’Brien himself, which was a great treat. Take a listen to Sarah.
