Sarah Jarosz - Polaroid Lovers Tour

With her captivating voice and richly detailed songwriting, Sarah Jarosz has emerged as one of the most compelling musicians of her generation. The Texas 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-years-old, she went on to deliver such critically lauded albums as Follow Me Down, Build Me Up from Bones, and 2016’s Undercurrent.

The four-time GRAMMY® winner has announced her new album, Polaroid Lovers, set for release on January 26, 2024 via Rounder Records. The seventh album from Jarosz finds the highly decorated songwriter at the apex of change. Sarah spent most of her adult life living in New York City, but shortly before writing the album, Jarosz left her adopted home to join her soon-to-be husband in Nashville, TN. Polaroid Lovers is an album-long meditation on those strangely ephemeral moments that indelibly shape our lives.

The follow-up to 2020’s studio album World on the Ground (winner of the GRAMMY® Award for Best Americana Album) and 2021’s song cycle Blue Heron Suite, Polaroid Lovers embodies a bold new vitality that has much to do with a deliberate shift in Jarosz’s writing process and sonic approach. A widely beloved musician whose past efforts include teaming up with fellow singer/songwriters Sara Watkins and Aoife O’Donovan to form the GRAMMY® Award-winning trio I’m With Her — as well as appearing on albums by iconic artists like David Crosby and Amy Ray of Indigo Girls — Jarosz derived a particularly profound sense of purpose from the highly collaborative process behind Polaroid Lovers.

The Ballroom Thieves

Indie folk-rock duo The Ballroom Thieves hail from New England. Martin Earley and Calin Peters released their 4th album, Clouds, in 2022 via Nettwerk Records, which became an opportunity for the band to mine the challenges of the past three years for creative inspiration. Clouds is a song cycle born of mixed experiences and fueled by the power of imagination. The album is a lush meditation on longing to return to touring – to see different sunsets and cities. But, it’s also a reflection of its difficulties.
