The roots music world is rejoicing: beloved supergroup I’m With Her — featuring Aoife O’Donovan, Sara Watkins, and Sarah Jarosz — has reunited for their highly anticipated second album, Wild and Clear and Blue, now out via Rounder Records. The trio, each a celebrated solo artist (or, in Watkins’ case, also a Nickel Creek mainstay), first joined forces in the late 2010s, and their return feels perfectly timed in a musical landscape craving organic harmony and authentic connection.
Formed through a series of one-off collaborations — including their 2017 single “Little Lies” — the group cemented their chemistry with the critically acclaimed 2018 debut See You Around. Their 2020 Grammy win for “Call My Name” further confirmed what fans already knew: this was more than a side project — it was a rare, resonant alchemy.
Now, after years of separate successes and pandemic-era pauses, Wild and Clear and Blue is here — a record that not only refines their intricate harmonies and multi-instrumental finesse, but thematically embraces the deep emotional bonds they’ve forged. “We’ve got this mystical sister thing that came out,” the group reflects, and it shows. From intimate ballads to jubilant string-driven anthems, the album celebrates chosen sisterhood and the enduring power of musical communion.
To mark the release, I’m With Her is embarking on an expansive 2025 tour, including appearances at major festivals like Newport and Telluride, prestigious venues such as The Beacon Theatre, Ryman Auditorium, and Wolf Trap, and select co-headlining dates with Iron & Wine.
In a time when Americana feels more vital than ever, I’m With Her brings it back into sharp focus — a reminder of what happens when talent, trust, and shared history collide in harmony.
