Sara Milonovich Description
“When people hear Northeast, I hope they feel connected to what they’re hearing,” says Sara, who was named 2022 Americana Artist of the Year by the Capital District Thomas Edison Music Awards (AKA the Eddies). “Like their stories are being written and sung through mine. We’ve all got stories to tell.”
Upstate New York singer/songwriter/fiddler Sara Milonovich delivers a heady harvest of heart-stopping original roots rock and alt-Americana gems. Her latest album, 'Northeast', is packed with atmospheric, powerful pieces, most written by Milonovich, with words that paint poignant, personal scenes, and melodies that linger long after the last listen. As an interpreter Sara is a singular force as well, weaving her own experiences and artistic voice through the threads of well-chosen, lived-in covers of songs by the likes of Josh Ritter, Karine Polwart, Joe Strummer, and Led Zeppelin. Sara, who was named 2022 Americana Artist of the Year by the Capital District Thomas Edison Music Awards, is also a seasoned side musician to such artists as Richard Shindell, Pete Seeger, Eliza Gilkyson, and Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys, and a featured player in the recent smash Broadway musical 'Come From Away'. Raised on her family’s working farm in northeast upstate New York, she started on violin at age four and rapidly established a regional reputation as a top-flight fiddler. At 16, Sara dropped out of school and joined legendary Celtic bluegrass outfit the McKrells. Between accompanying other mentors — including Seeger, on his Grammy-winning 2008 album 'At 89' — she released 2009’s Daisycutter. After a 2011 U.S. State Department/Jazz at Lincoln Center-sponsored “Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad” tour through Kosovo, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Turkey, she recorded 2015’s 'Waiting for the Stars', which earned her enthusiastic reviews and comparisons to paragons like Shawn Colvin and Sheryl Crow. She will be joined by her longtime musical partner, guitarist and producer, Greg Anderson, for their Mountain Music Parlor debut. Additional Information
WORKSHOP with Sara~ Explore the fiddle tunes of upstate NY with Sara Milonovich and Greg Anderson! The Adirondack and Catskill mountains of upstate NY have a long and deep musical history of their own, influenced by the musical traditions of New York’s Irish, Scottish, and French Canadian immigrants, as well as neighboring New England dance tunes. The result is a unique, but little-known and celebrated New York state fiddle style! In this 90 minute workshop, we will learn by ear fiddle tunes that are representative of the region (sheet music also provided), as well as take an in-depth look at the history and musical style that developed. Guitarist Greg Anderson will also be showing you some basics in accompaniment techniques and styles.
Ages 12+, confident beginners and beyond who are familiar with ear training. Open to all acoustic folk instruments (not just fiddle!)
1.5 hour workshop
