Local singer-songwriter and activist Les Thomas performs a beautiful song he has written for the late Sisto Malaspina of Pellegrini’s, and Katie talks on the phone to Sarah Jarosz, one of the three members of US folk-bluegrass ‘supergroup’ I’m With Her. She, Sara Watkins and Aoife O’Donovan have been performing together since 2015, and released their debut album, See You Around, in early 2018. Sarah Jarosz is a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter from Texas, now based in New York; Sara Watkins is a founding member of the hugely popular bluegrass group Nickel Creek; and Aoife O’Donovan is the lead singer of bluegrass-string band Crooked Still.
