[ATTENDED: November 7, 2025] I’m With Her
We saw I’m with Her in 2019 at McCarter. Billy Strings opened for them and look where he is now!
I’m with Her is something of a folk and bluegrass supergroup made up of Aoife O’Donovan, Sarah Jarosz and Sara Watkins. But on to the music. The women sing in absolutely gorgeous harmony. Individually, their voices are wonderful, but as they add one and then a second harmony…swoon. They also switch instruments constantly–fiddle, mandolin, ukulele, guitar, banjo.
But I wasn’t really feeling this show. And I’m glad I didn’t get tickets because Rocket announced a show tonight and I enjoyed that show immensely.
Ye Vagabonds are a folk duo from Ireland. They are the Carlow-based brothers Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn. They have been described as “being at the fore of a new wave of Irish folk.” The song I heard had full instrumentation and their voices are lovely together. They had a vibe of early Darlingside, which I liked quite a lot.
