Sara Watkins has heretofore flown frequently under the new-bluegrass banner as a part of the vaunted band Nickel Creek and otherwise. But with her impending new album, Young In All The Wrong Ways, Watkins seems to have forcefully branched out to include rock and pop realms. We were wowed last week when we witnessed Watkins wailing away on her winsome song Move Me on Prairie Home Companion. Watch below as Watkins is joined beautifully by the Steele Sisters (Jearlyn and Jevetta Steele), Rich Dworsky and the forcefully-perfect The Exchange Street Band. A powerful performance! Afterwards, you can check out the official video for the same sang and listen to another scintillating song, Without a Word, off of the new album. All of the above and below bodes incredibly well for Young In All The Wrong Ways.

Young In All The Wrong Ways will be released on July 1st on New West and you can pre-order it HERE.
