Sarah Jahn - Sparkle - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This product is an authorized manufactured on demand CD-R

Seventeen-year-old Texas native Sarah Jarosz emerged on the scene about five years ago as someone to watch. Jamming onstage with Bluegrass icons David Grisman and Ricky Skaggs, she played her mandolin with a sure touch and real joy. While her instrumental talents are formidable, let's make one thing clear Sarah is a singer. Her voice is velvety smooth, agile, and powerful occasionally reminiscent of such disparate artists as Natalie Maine's and Patty Griffin. Her debut, SONG UP IN HER HEAD, was produced by Sarah Jarosz and award-winning engineer and producer Gary Paczosa. Features a mix of 11 original new-old-timey ballads written by Sarah Jarosz, and two well chosen covers, the Decemberists Shankill Butchers and the Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan co-write, Come on Up to the House Collaborators on the album include teenaged peers Samson Grisman and Alex Hargreaves, as well as well-known veterans of the acoustic scene, including Chris Thile, Darrell Scott, Stuart Duncan, Mike Marshall and Jerry Douglas.

Swedish indie-pop artist Sarah Klang wrote a song to her unborn daughter, just months after discovering she was pregnant, the beginning of her fourth album 'Mercedes'. Charting her experience of pregnancy and motherhood, with all the highs and lows attached - as well as reminiscence of her own childhood. Shimmering synths and a touch of Americana gives a glow to Klang's beautiful brand of retro pop. Focus track 'Sunny Philadelphia' explores the feeling of wanting it all - the career, the husband, the perfect family and home.
