Sarah Jarosz

Her 7th studio album is a bold creative statement that sees Jarosz exploring new sonic territory.

The 11 songs on the album, all co-written by Jarosz with songwriters including Daniel Tashian, Ruston Kelly, and Natalie Hemby, touch on themes both personal and universal: love, longing, and finding one’s place in the world. The creative reorganization of her writing process evolved to include a much richer and more electric sound in the studio and being in Nashville meant access to a world of hot shot players. She tapped guitarist Rob McNelley (Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood), Tom Bukovac (Tom Petty, Vince Gill) on guitar and organ, her husband- bassist Jeff Picker (Nickel Creek), and drummer Fred Eltringham (Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams) for the album recording. Tashian took the helm as producer and the whole album was laid down at the legendary Sound Emporium. 
 
As it goes with all change, Jarosz’s major life events had her feeling contemplative. While sitting on the precipice of adulthood, 'Polaroid Lovers' finds her reflecting on past loves, childhood dreams, the places she lived in and all the versions of herself that she’s been. Although the listener experiences the sonic shift forward, the album’s subject matter is a photo album of the past. Jarosz has never sounded more assured. 'Polaroid Lovers' is filled with the kind of confidence that comes from hard won life experiences and the conviction of someone who truly knows herself.
