TINY DESK CONCERT:
?si=hCBffac6vrbT24XJ&t=14
Sierra Hull is widely regarded to be a master of her instrument; A two-time Grammy Nominated artist and songwriter, recognized for both her most recent projects, 25 Trips (2020) and Weighted Mind (2016), she is also the 6-time recipient of IBMA’s Mandolin Player of the Year, the
first woman to ever receive this distinction.
A pioneer for acoustic music throughout her already impressive multi-decade career, she has graced the country’s most iconic stages, including Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry, and the White House.
Hull’s virtuosic abilities have garnered respect from genre-defining trailblazers, friends, and collaborators such as Alison Krauss,
Sturgill Simpson, Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Béla Fleck, Bobby McFerrin, and Brandi Carlile.
Originally hailing from Byrdstown, Tennessee, her unique sound is rooted in bluegrass, and she is widely considered one of acoustic music’s most inventive artists.
Short Documentary - “Sierra Hull From Child Prodigy to Bluegrass Queen”:
?si=FlKMGB8h2yaQ6mmP
Step into the extraordinary life and career of Sierra Hull, one of the most influential and innovative mandolinists in modern bluegrass. From her early days in Byrdstown, Tennessee, to performing at the Grand Ole Opry with Alison Krauss, to earning six IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year awards, this documentary-style video traces her inspiring journey.
You'll discover how Sierra rose from a 10-year-old bluegrass prodigy to a Grammy-nominated artist, collaborated with fellow trailblazers like Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings, and released genre-bending albums like Weighted Mind and 25 Trips. Along the way, she’s redefined the mandolin’s role in Americana and folk, and paved the way for a new generation of women in roots music.
Learn about Sierra's deep musical roots, her education at Berklee College of Music, her creative partnership with husband Justin Moses, and her bold leap into independent artistry with her latest release Tip Toe High Wire. Featuring clips, interviews, and rare footage, this video is a must-watch for fans of bluegrass, folk, acoustic, and Americana music.
