Sarah Jarosz at Shrewsbury Folk Festival

[@inspectorraycharles]

She is a musician, song writer, singer, story teller. Her performances are truly professional in production and so beautiful. She has surrounded herself with other professionals that all perform at a very high level every time they open a microphone or turn on a camera. I am glad to be alive long enough to watch her perform from the beginning of her career. Thank you to all of you for bringing it to us.

[@katgirl8146]

I never tire of watching/listening to this. Love Anthony DeCosta. So fun to watch him play and is excellent with vocals, too.

[@Red_Dead_Director]

me too. I was almost 2 years ago youtube was playing a playlist or something on auto play and then other stuff started playing - I was on my way to go and change it to something familiar in my freezing garage at the time but I couldn't make it to my screen fast enough and about 30 seconds through this I just couldn't bring myself to turn it off - I don't think I've ever been sold that quick - The studio recordings are good and other performances, but there's something about this atmosphere, the set, the way she sings it all for this performance that I just could put it on repeat for a few times a day for like a decade and never say to myself I'm burned out on it.

Great scoop and judgement by Shrewsbury Folk Festival

[@thomasmcintosh390]

A year ago I was very ill, just too dumb to know it. An open heart surgery in March. In August I saw my nephew's wedding. The bride's processional song was 'Build Me Up From Bones" and I suddenly was overcome with such a feeling of joy and well being I began to cry. I'm just happy to be here. Listening to such fantastic artists is just icing on the cake.

one of America's gems

[@Red_Dead_Director]

ive listened to this performance more than anyone else on earth - repeat for 4 days nothing else - never got old - nobody has done this im pretty sure - it just randomly played a few nights ago and i couldnt put it away

[@Red_Dead_Director]

its been more more than a month an I have been putting this performance on repeat for at least two hours every night - there's a couple songs i wanted to cover - but then i realized that this aint no look up chords and sing along stuff - i narrowed it down to two songs but I have to literally pull up other performances to get the guitar translation down (addapt to six string acoustic) and Its the best music ive ever heard so I'm in no way discouraged.. I'll just keep marching on until i get it down. (20:48) holy s$#$ - i just listen to it - its on a do-not-touch-status and that's what makes her one of my favourite artists - Better than 89% of the stuff i filled my head with before stubling into this. I used to listen and play dave matthews/tim reynolds live at luther college like almost 20 years ago - i grew and dont think about that too much these days but it had an influence - this is the the most underrated performance of anything ive ever heard - not sure if she plays with these guys regularly but holy crap its a gem - Im OCD and I'm going to focus in on it and make it a part of my playing style. If there are youtube stats, I have watched this more than anyone by a factor of x8 at least.

I just can't fathom how talented Sarah Jarosz is. It is mind-bending.

Just stunning.

Sarah Jarosz and Anthony DeCosta sound so good together!

[@dsm5d723]

Hoping for a Slaid Cleeves duet, but they would pull the Becker-Fagan war of selective focus in the whole. These kinds of collaborations are the hardest, and most productive. Could you imagine a duet of "Cry," "Hard to Believe," Temporary," Build Me Up From Bones," "Ring Them Bells," anything? There is a good video on the "Other" Gaucho, for reference. He came from the Northeast (Downeast really) to Austin, and IS the solemn Country voice of Globalization thematically, in a dustbowl. And she the red clay Earth inverse, To the New England Conservatory at so young an age. My brain is exploding. It is perfect, at least to me.

[@johnthompson3802]

She took these words and put them to the perfect music. She's beyond amazing. I'm not one for overpopulating the earth, but she should have a dozen kids or more to "gift" the human race with her unique talents. She kills me when she gets into her own zone. The head nods and the little smile - she's in a world she created. Damn. Would that we could all go there...

[@jonmars9559]

I don't know how I missed this video before? What a great performance. I had the fortune to catch these remarkable young artists a few weeks ago in Seattle. Got to see them up close and personal. Sarah just keeps growing as an artist with leaps and bounds. Jeff is a sublime talent. Anthony was on fire that night, standing a mere 5 feet away, delivering a torrent of sound and emotion. I really enjoy the electric element infusing the music as of late. The evolution of Sarah's sound is going to be a thrill to behold for years to come. Thanks for posting!

Can't believe I'm the first to comment on this. But WOW, how Sarah has blossomed on this material since even just August 2016 wen I saw her live. Not just with the "Undercurrent" material but with everything. Replacing Jeff with Anthony was a great call mid-tour, and it's incredible how well he does as a foil for Sarah and her creativity. She's looser now and it's a joy to see. Not to mention he's great in his own right. Thanks, @shrewsburyfolkfest, for posting the whole performance!!!!!!!!!

i think jeff was much better, something about anthony.. to his horning in on her part (last chorus of mile on the moon) to when he ran right over her conversation when she was talking (shows he has no respect for her or anything she has to say). his sense of humor sucks as well. and his dramatics while playing and singing drive me crazy(not in a good way).with all the boner moves he made just during this gig he'd have been gone down the road if he was in my band. he's a mysogynistic jerk.
