If you like bluegrass/americana type music, I suggest giving this girl a listen. The debut album is quite good.

Here's what indiepassions little write up has to say (although I am not sure where they get the info from or if they write it:

[quote="indiepassion"]"Sarah Jarosz emerged on the scene about five years ago as someone to watch. Jamming onstage with bluegrass icons named Grisman or Skaggs, she played her mandolin with a sure touch and real joy. It looked and sounded comfortable in her twelve-year-old hands. She started writing songs on the guitar, took up the banjo, and won a bunch of awards. While her instrumental talents are formidable, let's make one thing clear: Sarah is a singer. She's just flat got it. Her voice is velvety smooth, agile, and powerful. With subtle use of colors and effects, she inhabits her songs the way a fine actress does her role. Overall, her music feels good, avoids over reaching. Nothing's contrived.

About to graduate from high school, Sarah is that rare, self-possessed teenager. Her schoolteacher parents have raised her well, providing the skills, support, and freedom to become the confident artist that she is. Beautiful, talented, and just a little mysterious in a wholesome, Texas hill country kinda way, Sarah is at home in this world. She knows what she's about and is ready to get out there and make her mark.

Playing a short cameo set with her a few years ago at Telluride, I heard that voice ring out over the crowd. It was thrilling. Lots of folks backstage already knew her; now the audience got to find out. With the release of this debut recording, and appearances on festival stages this summer, Sarah will reach many more fans of what's real and true in music. "Song Up In Her Head" features a mix of her new-old-timey ballads, and some rocking covers. Her collaborators include her teenaged peers and well-known veterans of the acoustic scene. It's an impressive coming out party, a survey of where she's been so far, and a good indicator of where she's headed. It's just going to get better from here, and I can't wait to see how the Sarah Jarosz story unfolds."[quote]
