Sarah Jaffe (approx. 9:00pm)
Sarah Jaffe became one of the most talked about artists of the year following the release of her debut album Suburban Nature which earned her accolades from NPR, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Interview, and American Songwriter among others. The album also landed her on numerous year-end “best of” lists including USA Today’s Pop Candy, Paste Magazine and Amazon and also found her single “Clementine” in heavy rotation at WFPK!

“Suburban Nature, Sarah Jaffe’s full-length debut, announces the Denton, Texas-based musician’s arrival as a force on the folk-pop scene in a big way, offering up 13 gems that could make even a hardened critic start throwing around terms like the next big thing.” –American Songwriter
