Live reviews

Sarah Jaffe stands in the center of the well lit stage, looking casual in a grey sweater and leggings, strumming her acoustic guitar. She is accompanied by a violin, percussion, and another guitar as she sings and plays “Clementine”. Her raw, melodious voice mixes with the violin and guitar in a refreshing yet nostalgic melody. Throughout the song, the audience are silent, then burst into applause at its end. Sarah Jaffe began her music career in 2008 when she self released Even Born Again, her first album. Rolling Stone and the Dallas Observer recognized her potential, and in 2009 she was signed to Kirtland Records in part due to their help. She released her second album, Suburban Nature, in 2010, and followed that with three more albums: The Way Sound Leaves A Room, The Body Wins, and Don't Disconnect in 2011, 2012, and 2014 respectively. Jaffe, an American singer/songwriter, started her career writing acoustic folk songs, then gradually moved toward the Indie rock she is known for today. Jaffe has a very unique sound with intriguing music and lyrics. Her music is emotive and moving, and many of her songs tell complex stories. If you have not heard Sarah Jaffe's music or seen her perform live, I encourage you to do so. She is an excellent musician and performer.

Report as inappropriate

I last saw Sarah Jaffe supporting Midlake maybe 6 years ago about the time of her album Suburban Nature. It was one of those gigs where everyone talks loudly through the support act, which I found incredibly frustrating, so I jumped at the chance to see her again in a more intimate space.

While I would love for Sarah to be more widely known, The Lexington was an ideal venue for the kind of gig which an appreciation of her music demands. Sarah's music has an immediacy and vulnerability coupled with great melodies and she has such a lovely singing voice that looked effortless close up. If you haven't heard her music, check out Swelling, Clementine, Summer Begs, Pretender.

The only shame was that I was enjoying it so much that it felt it ended all too soon.

Sarah exceeded my expectations. The show was terrific, I enjoy her music that I listen to on Spotify however the live performance was Killer!! She moved the crowd. I'll definitely plan on taking friends to her next concert when she returns to the Metroplex.

About Sarah Jaffe

Sarah Jaffe Announces North American Tour Supporting Bastille

The tour dates come as Jaffe is currently working on her next full-length studio album.

Acclaimed producer and songwriter Sarah Jaffe has been tapped, alongside Alice Merton, to join Bastille as a special guest on their upcoming North American Give Me The Future headlining tour.

The tour kicks off this weekend in Memphis, TN with Alice Merton and on May 28th Jaffe will join them at the Palace Theatre in St. Paul, MN and continue on for the remainder of their stateside run. The two-week trek includes a June 7th stop in Jaffe's current homebase of NYC, where they'll play Terminal 5 and directly following, Jaffe returns to her home state of Texas for a June 19th show at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden to headline their annual Concert in the Garden event.

The tour dates come as Jaffe is currently working on her next full-length studio album and follow up to 2017's Bad Baby LP. During the past five years, Jaffe has been busy working on various projects in addition to her own music. After a 2020 tour with Generationals, Jaffe found herself co-writing and singing on their recent single "Trying to Reach Ya" from their 2021 EP ILEANA (Polyvinyl).

She's also been working on a production project with her longtime drummer Roberto Sanchez called Golden Aquarians. Through this venture, they released single "High Enough" in September 2020 and just last month, they released "Night Drive" -written by Greg Vanderpool and produced and performed by Golden Aquarians. In addition, this past September Jaffe released The Championship EP ahead of a US tour with TORRES.

Sarah Jaffe started recording and releasing music when she was 22 years old and since then, the Texas native has led a creatively rich career as both a songwriter and a recording artist. She has released four critically acclaimed studio albums, she recently had her music featured in the new Netflix drama Sex/Life, she scored and contributed original music to the award-winning independent film Never Goin' Back, she co-wrote and sang on the recently certified GOLD and GRAMMY award-winning track "Bad Guy" on Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP 2 album, she's contributed her eerily haunting vocal to the Disney/Pixar short The Blue Umbrella scored by Jon Brion and this is only scratching the surface!

Confirmed dates for Sarah Jaffe with Bastille are below and keep your eyes peeled for news on Jaffe's next full-length studio album.

Sarah Jaffe

Sarah jaffe living room tour.

via Undertow Music Collective

We’re very excited to be helping Sarah put together a Living Room Tour!

We’ll make this as easy as possible for the hosts. All you have to do is let us borrow your living room for a couple of hours and in return you’ll get 5 free tickets for your friends and our eternal gratitude. We are looking for hosts in the following cities:

May 15 – Los Angeles May 16 – San Francisco May 17 – San Francisco May 19 – Portland May 20 – Seattle

Here’s how it works.

1. You have a house or loft space that can comfortably and safely host 40-50 people. A place with a big living room, finished basement or other large indoor residential space would be ideal. There needs to be enough parking nearby and your neighbors should be cool. It would be a huge bummer if someone called the cops because of all the extra cars and people coming to your house. You probably shouldn’t do this if you live in a small apartment with a bunch of uptight neighbors or a cranky landlord.

2. The shows will not be open to the public and no tickets will be sold at the door. We’ll pre-sell all tickets for each show on our website before the show. Be realistic on how many people your place can hold. We need to know how many tickets we can sell in advance.

3. Ticket prices will be $20.

4. We’ll provide you with a detailed list of everyone who will be coming to the show. This way you won’t have to deal with money. All you have to do is check people off the list as they arrive.

5. The host gets 5 free tickets for the show. If you have other friends who want to come to the show you can direct them to the link to buy tickets on-line.

6. The shows usually start at around 8pm. We’ll ask people to arrive around 7:30pm. It should be over by around 10:00pm. We’ll make it clear to everyone that they should be out of your house by 10:30pm.

7. You don’t need to provide any sort of sound system. We’ll need to borrow a couple of chairs and some kind of ambient lighting like a floor lamp.

8. Your home address will not be published on the web and only given to those people who purchase tickets.

9. The shows will not be promoted or advertised anywhere except our websites.

After reading all of this, if interested please send an e-mail to: [email protected] and [email protected]

Please include a photo of the space where you would like to host the show and put “Sarah Jaffe Living Room Show” and the city in the subject line of the e-mail.

We’ll review all requests and get back in touch to confirm shows once we have a routing figured out.

Thanks for your help!

Sarah Jaffe announces June Tour

News 1 Jun 10 By Doug Van Pelt

Sarah Jaffe is thrilled to announce a June tour with Lou Barlow before he returns to the road with Dinosaur Jr. !  The 24-year-old Texas native will be main support for Barlow on nearly a month of dates starting on June 10 th at San Diego’s esteemed venue The Casbah.  This will be the third tour in 2010 for Sarah Jaffe who just wrapped tour dates as main support for Norah Jones and toured as main support for Midlake earlier this year.  The Lou Barlow tour is her first US tour since the release of her debut full-length album – Suburban Nature – which came out May 18 th on Kirtland Records.

Produced by John Congleton ( Shearwater , Polyphonic Spree , Explosions In the Sky ) who also produced her debut EP – Even Born Again , the new album showcases Sarah’s incredible talent as a songwriter and musician.  The music is dark and haunting and the songs and lyrics belie her age.

“… Suburban Nature , her full-length debut, announces the Denton, Texas-based musician’s arrival as a force on the folk-pop scene in a big way, offering up 13 gems that could make even a hardened critic start throwing around terms like ‘the next big thing.’” – American Songwriter

Jaffe has been turning heads with her memorable live performances over the past several years.  Her performance at 2009’s Austin City Limits Festival earned her a nod from Rolling Stone and a live show at Stubb’s had the Austin Chronicle calling her “…a major new talent.”  Now with a debut album set to come out later this month, a couple of noteworthy tours under her belt and a main support slot with the incredible Lou Barlow in June, Sarah Jaffe is poised to break on a national level – so catch her while you have the chance!  Confirmed dates below:

journalist & author of Necessary Trouble & W o rk Won't L o ve Y o u Back

Sarah Jaffe is a writer and reporter living in New Orleans and on the road. She is the author of Work Won’t Love You Back: How Devotion To Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone ; Necessary Trouble: Americans in Revolt , and the forthcoming From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire , all from Bold Type Books.

Her journalism covers the politics of power, from the workplace to the streets, and her writing has been published in The Nation, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The New Republic, the New York Review of Books, and many other outlets. She is a columnist at The Progressive and a contributing writer at In These Times.

El Pais: “The ideology of love for work is a scam”

More Catalan press! Noella Ramirez of El Pais interviewed me about Work Won’t Love You Back :

The  journalist Sarah Jaffe  (Massachusetts, 43) always heard the same story. “I’ve been writing about work for most of my career. And the story was constantly repeated of people who had landed  their dream job and suddenly discovered that the conditions were terrible : they worked a million hours a week, they didn’t rest, they didn’t get paid much and they had perhaps moved to an expensive city that they couldn’t afford”, he explains through a video call from  London  this reporter, one of the first to report on Occupy Wall Street or Fight for $15 (the movement demanding a federal minimum wage of $15 in the United States) and who has worked for publications such as . The Atlantic or  The Washington Post What’s going on with work? How is it all different compared to other periods? The answers to these questions can be found in  The job will not love you  (Ara Llibres, translation by Pau Gros), an essay that puts historical context and social question about why we have so quickly forgotten that “eight hours to sleep, eight to work and eight to live” and ended up mired in a work culture that has appropriated our identity, exhausting us and keeping – us isolated from the rest. Read the rest at El Pais.

Nuvol: “We are made to believe that we like to sacrifice ourselves for work”

More Catalan press! Santi Dommel at Nuvol interviewed me about Work Won’t Love You Back, and writes:

Climate change, political polarization, the precariousness of everything and the rise of inequalities are the main challenges that are eroding the social pact that emerged from the ruins of the Second World War and, above all, the lives of people Because that’s what it’s all about, in the end, living under dignified conditions. But everything seems to indicate that the system continues to perpetuate and reproduce structural faults. By  Sarah Jaffe , author of  Work Won’t Love You  (Arallibres ), the prevailing system inserted a seed, now about fifty years ago, which, little by little, has grown to the point of structuring our morals: the love of work. The umpteenth pirouette of late capitalism which, according to the author, has made us believe that we like work, a coercive mechanism par excellence. Jaffe destroys myths with a feminist and progressive perspective, while delving into the past to trace the origin of the inequalities that make up the current labor market. It also manages to expose the labor problem with cases that can be fully extrapolated to other non-Anglo-Saxon realities, revealing the unsustainability of the working life of a whole range of profiles. From artists, athletes or scholars, to computer programmers, teachers, through domestic workers – historically carried out by racialized women -, or by the highest levels of international women’s football with , Jaffe goes into the gears of “the love of work” to refloat witnesses who seek to recover a lost solidarity. We met with the author online to find out more about a book with a coherent and clever plot. Read the rest at Nuvol .

Rac1: “That people don’t want to work? Very low wages, precariousness, and they expect us to wake up smiling and happy?”Rac1:

More Catalan press! Rac1 interviewed me about Work Won’t Love You Back. Rosanna Carceller Squire writes:

Love of work is a scam, and devotion to professional dedication keeps us exploited, exhausted, and alone. This is what American journalist  Sarah Jaffe (1980, Massachusetts) explains, specializing in power politics,  who works for media such as The New York Times,  The Guardian  or  The Nation .   Now publishes in Catalan  Work will not love you  (Ara Llibres) , a volume which is his second work and which  The Times  has defined as  “one of the best books of the year”.  Jaffe makes an interesting reflection on labor rights and a thorough analysis of how capitalism has manipulated our feelings to take advantage of our work relationships.  Read the whole thing at Rac1

La Vanguardia: “The relationship with our jobs is more toxic than any other love affair.”

Work Won’t Love You Back came out in Catalan from Ara Llibres and I did several interviews for that edition. Lara Gomez Ruiz at La Vanguardia wrote:

Jaffe emphasizes “the importance of understanding that work does not liberate us or make us happy. It is true that, sometimes, it gives us good moments. I get satisfaction from interviewing certain people and when I was a waitress I loved the spontaneous conversations that arose with some customers. That is to say, I agree with taking advantage of the occasions that bring us joy during the work day. But that’s not enough to hold it all. Longing for total happiness in the workplace is an unrealistic concept imposed by an outdated society. And we are in the 21st century, let’s modernize and start acting as such,” she concludes. Read the whole thing at La Vanguardia

Work Won’t Love You Back at Morning Brew

Susanna Vogel at Morning Brew interviewed me about Work Won’t Love You Back. She writes,

In her book,  Work Won’t Love You Back : How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone,  Jaffe offers a message that flies in the face of C-suite hand-wringing over so-called quiet quitting. Jaffe argues that workers, particularly those in fields that recruit on the promise of purpose, are often unfairly expected to make sacrifices—taking unpaid internships, working long hours, or accepting low wages—to do what they love, and that pursuing a job for passion often leads to being exploited.
