Sarah Jarosz Multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Sarah Jarosz made a name for herself as a bluegrass prodigy, releasing her debut album in 2009 at the age of 18.   GRAMMY and Americana Music Award nominations, a trio of Austin Music Awards and invitations to perform on television quickly followed. She remains one of the most exciting young voices in folk music. Her approach to acoustic music is expansive and vital; she sees no need to choose between old-timey and modern material; between picking, singing and writing; between experimenting and reviving tradition. She does all of it, and then some.  £13.50 Early Bird Tickets £10. 50 Art Forms, Folk, Special Offers, Group Discount, Seasons, Where good music matters 2012-05-30T10:28:52+00:00 muni.rct-arts.org/events/the-games/ muni.rct-arts.org/events/the-games/#When:12:18:07Z Tuesday 29 May 7.30pm.
