Sarah Jarosz won't be old enough to drink legally until May, but you'd never know it from her music. Mature and polished beyond her years, Jarosz plays a deft blend of folk, bluegrass and pop that lands somewhere between Nickel Creek and Shawn Colvin. Her first album, 2009's "Song Up in Her Head," was stellar, and she topped it on last year's "Follow Me Down" (Sugar Hill Records) without even breaking a sweat. She plays tonight at Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw. Lizzy Ross opens the show at 8 and tickets are $12-$15. See hawriverballroom.com for details.
