This week, we can’t help but be hyped about the June 1st return of Sarah Jarosz to our stage as we listen to Polaroid Lovers, released on January 26th.    

The seventh full-length album from four-time Grammy Award-winner Sarah Jarosz is a meditation on those strangely ephemeral moments that indelibly shape our lives. The NY Times this week said: “The primary sound of “Polaroid Lovers” is rich and glossy, hinting at 1970s Laurel Canyon folk-pop and the commercial peak of Fleetwood Mac, who placed sparkling acoustic instruments in the foreground of driving pop-rock.” You won’t want to miss her return on June 1.

It’s the quiet awe of wild places that most animates Natalie Spears’ music. Outside her home in Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley, she listens to the language of birds, notices patterns of migration, and sees the cosmos in the countryside. For Spears, nature offers a constant invitation to open the aperture of life to something wider, something wilder. Her forthcoming album, “The Hymn of Wild Things,” (out June 7) chronicles her experience of wonder, loss, and metamorphosis. This is a collection of songs about the intimate corners of humanity, hers and ours alike. With a quiver of instruments (banjo, piano, guitar), she threads opposites together: love with loss; tradition with innovation; and the human experience with the more-than-human world. Get your ticket to the album release party here. 

As always, keep your eye on our events calendar, you never know what you might find. Shows are added all the time, sometimes without warning!
