I've had her album on my iPod since I heard her on NPR. Great album and really good songwriting.

Wait a minute! I recognize her! She was one of the kids back at the Mandolin Symposiums I went to. This is her taking a solo at about 1:20
And yes, that's Chris Thile teaching.

What's she playing here? www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGXhAHQdxpMis that some kind of octave mandolin? Bazooka? (I've never faired well on a mando. The strings are so stinkin close together. And the right hand motion is so controlled and precise. I'm such a sloppy percussive guitar player. ) |

And the right hand motion is so controlled and precise. I'm such a sloppy percussive guitar player. ) One of the comments says it's a Mandocello made by Luther Brock from Seattle, WA. It looks a lot like the special octave mandolin made for Tim O'brian. >The strings are so stinkin close together. That's why I like my Breedlove so much. The neck is 1/8" wider than normal and it has a radiused fretboard instead of a flat fretboard. They also space the pairs of strings closer together which, when combined with the wider fretboard, gives you more room between the pairs. |

That mandolin symposium video is great. Damn kids!! Now I realize how much I wasted those years when my brain was quickly programmable. (Well not totally, I was using my processing power to memorize stuff like the periodic table and the Krebs cycle.) I hope we get a chance to go around again. BTW Fletcher Brock made her instrument. www.fletcherbrock.com/Home.html |

The future of acoustic music is indeed in good hands with Sarah Jarosz (and many of her contemporaries)
Ms. Jarosz has been described as Gillian Welch's long-lost daughter -- not a bad description, but I think her voice is richer and more soulful than Ms. Welch's.
I understand Sarah Jarosz is in college on the east coast in a jazz program.
