Did you know? With the 2014 formation of I’m With Her, singer/songwriters Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan, and Sara Watkins introduced an essential new force into the world of folk music: a close-knit alliance of highly esteemed musicians, each graced with a deep understanding of folk tradition and unbridled passion for expanding its possibilities.

Recorded at two separate New York studios (The Outlier Inn in the Catskills and The Clubhouse in Rhinebeck), 2025’s Wild and Clear and Blue takes its name from the title track written after the passing of two of the band’s most beloved musical forebears, Nanci Griffith and John Prine. The song soon catalyzed I’m With Her’s album-wide reflection on generational bonds and self-realization.
