Milky Way Over Wimberley  by ELI COHEN

​

"For a town the size of Wimberley, there is an incredible number of acclaimed and award-winning musicians, but there may not be any as celebrated as Sarah Jarosz." (The Wimberley View, 03-18-2021).  

​

With her captivating voice and richly detailed songwriting, Sarah Jarosz has emerged as one of the most compelling musicians of her generation.  A four-time Grammy Award winner and ten-time nominee at the age of 32, the Wimberley native started singing as a young girl and became an accomplished multi-instrumentalist by her early teens.  After releasing her full-length debut Song Up in Her Head at 18 she went on to deliver such critically lauded albums as Follow Me Down,  Build Me Up From Bones, and Undercurrent in addition to joining forces with Sara Watkins and Aoife O'Donovan to Win the Grammy award for Best Americana Album.  

 

Her fifth studio album, World On The Ground, went on to win the Grammy award for Best Americana Album.  She told Dalton Sweat of The Wimberley View, "I'm over the moon after the Grammy win.  It's especially meaningful being recognized for this album considering that it's so deeply rooted in my thoughts of home.  I feel so fortunate to have grown up in a place like Wimberley - its unique rolling, textured landscape inspired so many of the images throughout this record, particularly on the songs Hometown and Orange and Blue.  I'm so grateful to the community of musicians in Wimberley who believed in me from the very beginning. . ."
