\n\tGive or take, I have approximately the time it takes for I\u2019m With Her to pile into a sprinter van backstage at Colorado\u2019s Telluride Bluegrass Festival<\/a> and drive to their late-night show at the Sheridan Opera House to conduct a fast-paced interview.<\/p>\n \n\tBut, in truth, three and a half minutes of listening to songs like \u201cAncient Light,\u201d \u201cYear After Year,\u201d or \u201cMother Eagle (Sing Me Alive)\u201d is all you need to grasp the appeal of the supergroup trio. Their innate gifts for harmony, melody, and songwriting make their songs, especially those on the new album Wild and Clear and Blue<\/em>, all but irresistible.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve just lived so much life together, much more life together than we had on our first record,\u201d the band\u2019s Sarah Jarosz<\/a> tells Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cThis [album], we know what our sound is, and now what do we want to say?\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAt 11:30 p.m., the group emerged behind a lone microphone at the intimate 1913 opera house on North Oak Street. The gorgeous \u201cYear After Year\u201d hushed the audience, focusing them squarely on members Jarosz, Aoife O\u2019Donovan, and Sara Watkins<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThings will never be the same\/as they were when we were young,\u201d Watkins sang. \u201cLet\u2019s welcome the change\/no song unsung.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI love singing with them so much,\u201d Watkins says of her bandmates. \u201cOne of the main things I remember from that first meetup was just how easy it was to communicate.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe initial meetup occurred right around the corner from the opera house in nearby Elks Park. It was during the 2014 Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The three musicians were each performing at the gathering with various projects and were asked to host a workshop in the park.<\/p>\n
