I’m with Her is Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan and Sara Watkins. Paul headed to London’s Union Chapel to catch them and got a double helping with a top support slot by Sussex born Samuel Ford and a surprise appearance from John Paul Jones.

Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O’Donovan head out on tour this month under the combined tour banner of I’m with Her. Dates include London’s Union Chapel on 28 April. It promises to be a great tour as Sara declares “very time we play together we are learning how to be a supportive, explosive, good band.”

These tribute albums can often be a hit and miss affair but between the quality of the source material and the calibre of the interpreters, there’s no weak link in this chain.

Lead singer of Crooked Still Aoife O’Donovan releases her debut solo album Fossils this week. With Tucker Martine on production her dreamy vocals get the perfect treatment.
