CHAN CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS AT UBC
“From the beginning, we wanted to be a band,
and not a side project. By saying, ‘I’m with her,’ it underscores that we’re all such fans of each other, fans of each other’s musicianship. Each of us wants to do really well for each other, because we love each other as musicians.”
– Sarah Jarosz, Los Angeles Times 2018

I’m With Her I’m With Her is Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O’Donovan. Four years after their formation at an impromptu show in 2014 at the Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, CO, the band released their debut album, See You Around (Rounder Records), in February 2018. Co-produced by Ethan Johns and recorded in Bath, England, See You Around has garnered praise from NPR, who instantly hailed the collection as “willfully open-hearted” and The Guardian, who called their sound both “ethereal and purposeful.” From their early contributions in bands such as Nickel Creek and Crooked Still, these three musicians are noteworthy for their recent and extensive solo career successes, including several Grammy awards. I’m With Her have honed a special, family-like chemistry, garnering acclaim for their unique blend of instrumental interplay combined with their indelible harmonies. As the New York Times described of a live performance, “…when the three women sang together, their voices became one instrument, sharing every breath.” Touring in support of the new album, the band has sold out shows across the US and Europe and has also made appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CBS Saturday Morning and NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts. The trio was recently nominated for Duo/Group of the year by the Americana Music Association.
“We came together and left behind the idea that one of us would be the leader. It’s really special to be able to step into a project and have complete equal ownership with two other people involved. We’re a band, not just three individuals each sharing the spotlight with other people singing back up. There’s definitely a sound that we’re trying to create, but it’s evolving as we’re still in the beginning of the band. It’s exciting to feel that we’re in the beginning because I feel that this band will have a long life.” -Aoife O’Donovan, Folk Radio 2018
