Summer Concert Series: Sara Milonovich & Daisycutter

Sara Milonovich & Daisycutter
Delivering a heady harvest of heart-stopping original bluegrass and Americana gems.
Their 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, 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.
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. She has since worked with such artists as Richard Shindell, Pete Seeger, Eliza Gilkyson, and Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys, and the Gibson Brothers. An award-winning musician, Sara was awarded the Bluebird Golden Pick Songwriting Contest in 2023 and was named Americana Artist of the Year by the Capital District Thomas Edison Music Awards in 2022.
“Write what you know. Tell a story. Let the journey be your guide. There are some simple tools for making great, lasting songs.” -Sara Milonovich
