SARA MILONOVICH RETURNS TO DELAWARE COUNTY WITH TALES OF PLACE, ROOTED IN TRADITION Nov 15

STAMFORD – Award-winning alt-country singer, songwriter, and fiddler Sara Milonovich returns to the Catskills on Saturday, November 15 at 7 PM to perform at Headwaters Arts Center. Joined by her longtime guitarist Greg Anderson, Milonovich, presents story driven songs that paint vivid scenes of grange halls, working farms, agrarian rhythms and rural highways connecting small towns. Folding chairs will be available, but audience members are encouraged to bring their own chairs or blankets for the floor.  This performance event is free and all are welcome.

"Sara's music and her success as a songwriter stand on their own," said Program Director Rachel Condry. "But what makes her journey so compelling is the way in which she has transformed her traditional roots passed down from teachers like beloved fiddler and square dance caller, Hilt Kelly into something entirely her own. Her career is a great example of how tradition doesn't have to constrain artists, it can give them wings."

Sara received her first fiddle from her grandparents at age four. Beyond classical violin lessons, she learned traditional fiddle tunes directly from older generations of musicians at parties, jam sessions, and square dances. These weren't just tunes to play—they served a purpose: to provide music for dancing, to comfort, to entertain. This foundation led her to study how folk songs evolved in similar ways, developing into her distinctive songwriting voice.

Songs can express personal stories, document events that affect a place or group of people, share history and preserve traditions, or simply create connection through shared stories. Sara’s songwriting focuses on the role of "place" in telling stories through song. Her atmospheric, powerful storytelling paints scenes with words and melodies that linger long after the last listen. 

A 2023 Bluebird Golden Pick Winner (Bluebird Cafe/Taylor Guitars) and 2022 Americana Artist of the Year (Capital District Thomas Edison Music Awards), Milonovich has achieved national recognition while remaining true to the traditional roots that shaped her.  Come down to Headwaters Arts Center at 7pm on Saturday November 15 to hear Sara Milonovich and Greg Anderson perform songs from their most recent album, "Northeast," and get a  preview of music from their forthcoming 2026 album—a heady harvest of fiddle-driven original Americana roots music.
