Watch I’m With Her Make ‘Colbert’ Debut With Harmonious Paul Simon Cover

Fresh off a pair of Grammy Award wins, folk supergroup I’m With Her appeared on Wednesday’s episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. The trio of Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan and Sara Watkins delivered a stunning cover of Paul Simon's “The Obvious Child” as well as a performance of “Ancient Light” at the Ed Sullivan Theater for their Colbert debut.

I’m With Her also announced they will release a new live album entitled Sing Me Alive on April 17 via Rounder Records. Both “The Obvious Child” and “Ancient Light” are among the 20 songs featured on the set. Sing Me Alive documents I’m With Her’s lengthy 2025 tour in support of their latest album, Wild Clear and Blue.
