Three singer-songwriters, a small mountain of stringed instruments and harmonies so close you couldn't slide a pick between them: that's I'm With Her. Sara Watkins plays fiddle, guitar and ukulele, Sarah Jarosz handles banjo, mandolin, octave mandolin and guitar, and Aoife O'Donovan moves between keyboard and guitar, and since 2014 they've been braiding bluegrass, folk, gospel and Americana into something that sounds as old as the hills and freshly picked at once.
After a nomination in 2018, the trio took Duo/Group of the Year at the Americana Awards in 2019. "Call My Name" then earned two Grammy nominations in 2020, Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song, and won the second.
Then came Wild and Clear and Blue in 2025. "Ancient Light" is its glowing centerpiece, three voices rising and folding over spare acoustic lines, and it won Best American Roots Song at the 2026 Grammys, while the album itself took Best Folk Album.
