Jarosz will celebrate the release of Undercurrentin Los Angeles with two album release shows at the famed Troubadour on June 16th and McCabe’s Guitar Shop on June 17th.  Following the California dates, Jarosz will travel to Washington, DC where she’ll perform as part of Chris Thile’s American Acoustic Show at The Kennedy Center on June 24th with her band I’m With Her (ClickHERE for details.)  Jarosz will headline the Bowery Ballroom on June 27th followed by The Sinclair in Cambridge on June 28th.  On Friday July 1st, Jarosz will join Garrison Keillor and many of his other duet partners for A Prairie Home Companion at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA.  Other dates include Louisville’s Forecastle Festival on July 16th and a UK tour in November. 

Joining Jarosz on the road will be musicians Eli West and Jeff Picker. A collaborative musician by trade, Seattle-based Eli West will play electric and acoustic guitars, and provide harmony vocals. Bassist Jeff Picker’s unique blend of folk, western swing and jazz influences has made him a highly in-demand player and exciting, creative voice in the Brooklyn roots music scene. 

Undercurrent reflects the unique way Sarah Jarosz combines her early roots-based background with new influences stemming from living in NYC, and her diverse group of musical friends and colleagues, many of whom are reflected in her 2016 tour collaborations.  The Austin American-Statesman wrote of her recent SXSW performance, “Grammy-nominated Jarosz is a string instrument prodigy, a heart-rending writer, and the owner of a clarifying, powerful voice.  Her set was poised and flawless…”.  Sarah’s previous album, Build Me Up From Bones, received praise from a variety of press outlets including The New York Times, New York Magazine, NPR, LA Weeklyand USA Today, and she also performed on CONAN and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
