Given enough quiet surrounding space, anything can look or sound like art. Sarah Jarosz stops you dead in your tracks with her subdued contemporary bluegrass style, but it’s not just space that makes her work feel like a center of gravity. The Hill Country-reared singer-songwriter, who enchants on mandolin, banjo, and ukulele, returns to Austin, a city where she trekked as a preternaturally talented “child prodigy” from weekly Wimberley jam sessions to live events that nurtured her. Now with 10 Grammy nods and four wins, the 30-year-old young master supports albums five and six, last year’s stunning Blue Heron Suite, and 2020’s World on the Ground.
