I discovered Sarah Jarosz through my mother's iTunes collection and have since created my own iTunes collection that includes -

"Tell Me True"

"Run Away"

"Dark Road"

In posts to come, I will share each song individually.

My anticipated take away -

Sarah Jarosz is a young talent (born in 1991) that brings in a fresh take on folk music.  She taps into common interest from an Americana genre point of view, allowing listeners to enjoy any aspect of her songs - whether it be lyrics, vocals, instrumentals, a combination, or all.  As a fan, I enjoy all.
