Sarah Jarosz Releases New Album World On The Ground Today Via Rounder Records - A “Wistful...Tantalizing” (Rolling Stone) Look At The Push And Pull Of Home

Today, Sarah Jarosz has released her first solo album in four years, World On The Ground (Rounder Records). The three-time GRAMMY winner’s new collection looks at the inner lives of small-town characters caught between their desire to escape and embrace home. Produced by fellow multi-GRAMMY winner John Leventhal (Rosanne Cash, Elvis Costello) and set against Jarosz’s own childhood on the tree-canopied banks of the Texas Hill Country, World On The Ground stands as a vivid portrait of tension and inertia in the artist’s pastoral hometown of Wimberley (population 2,626).

Only 29, Sarah Jarosz has racked up an impressive list of accomplishments, starting with her first GRAMMY nod at age 18 for her 2009 debut, Song Up in Her Head. Following the release of her most recent solo album, 2016’s Undercurrent, the Austin American-Statesman hailed Sarah as “poised and flawless...a heart-rending writer and the owner of a clarifying, powerful voice.” In addition to her solo work, she is also a member of the GRAMMY-winning group I’m With Her.
