Tag: more answer than you really needed

idk if you’re still on the computer, since you posted an hour ago, but if you are (and even if you’re not), I was wondering what some of your favorite musical acts are? In that vein, I remember you mentioned in a post once that you like Sarah Jarosz, so if you need something to kill time in the background, I just wanted to suggest the oh hellos, carolina chocolate drops/rhiannon giddens, and the milk carton kids (who’ve performed with sarah before, actually!)

These sound like the kind of music I will probably like so I’m answering publicly so I don’t forget later.

Although *sheepish grin* I had to google Sarah because I was like, “ummm I like who?” but I am terrible with names and I can’t tell you how many times I will Shazaam the same song but let’s just say it is A LOT because I will never remember. Sooooo… I apparently can’t remember what I like from her so that’s something for me to explore later.

HOWEVER in high school I was super into what I’ll label as “acoustic folk rock.” It’s still one of my favorite genres and when I’m in a funk, I just need to play some Newcomer’s Home and everything is right with the world (they are still one of my favorite groups even though they no longer exist, boo-hoo, but Katie Herzig is still creating music so that’s good).

Anyway, one of the groups I really loved at that time was Nickel Creek, and it looks like Sarah has worked with/toured with a couple of the members AND she plays the mandolin and that’s just awesome.

Side note, I taught myself how to play mandolin in high school and was getting pretty decent at it but then life happened along with my weak-ass attention span but I still have my mandolin and maybe one day I’ll pick it up again. Maybe. One day.
