Notes from AMA #2: Sarah signs
Seventeen-year-old mandolin player and singer Sarah Jarosz has been signed to Sugar Hill Records, who’s label boss Gary Paczosa, is coming to to Sarah’s home town of Wimberley next week to produce her new record. Best known for his work with Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton and the Dixie Chicks, Paczosa says he hasn’t been as excited to be working as a project as he is with the Jazosz project. The old-timey youngster will co-produce at the Blue Rock Studio, which Paczosa calls “my favorite studio in the world right now.”
Paczosa has also signed the Greencards, whose next record is being produced by Jay Joyce (Patty Griffin’s “Flaming Red.”)
During a panel on festivals and touring, C3 Presents’ Charlie Walker broke up the room when asked how ACL Fest determines which Austin acts to book. “It seems that most of ours are related to people at the office,” he joked. I know Charles Attal’s nephew Sledd is in We Go To 11. Any other instances of nepotism? I mean, besides Electric Touch.
