Sierra Hull

Sierra Hull, an American bluegrass singer-songwriter and mandolin virtuoso, has become a prominent figure in the world of acoustic music. Born on September 27, 1991, in Byrdstown, Tennessee, Hull showcased prodigious musical talent from a young age. She made her Grand Ole Opry debut at the tender age of 10 and was soon thereafter mentored by bluegrass legend Alison Krauss, a sign of the respect and promise surrounding her burgeoning career. Hull's formal education at the Berklee College of Music further refined her technical skills and artistic sensibilities, leading to a unique, contemporary spin on the traditional bluegrass sound.

Sierra Hull's early career releases including "Secrets" (2008) and "Daybreak" (2011) were evidence of her deep roots in the genre and her virtuosity on the mandolin. However, it was Hull's 2016 release "Weighted Mind," produced by Béla Fleck, that signaled a significant artistic evolution, marked by introspective songwriting and sophisticated arrangements. The album was a critical success, earning her a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album. Following this, Hull continued to push the boundaries of the genre with "25 Trips" in 2020, a reflection of her growth as a musician and individual over a quarter-century journey. Known for intricate musicianship and emotive vocals, Hull's works such as "Weighted Mind (The Original Sessions)," "Summer's End," and "Chasin' Skies" further solidify her place as a dynamic force in modern acoustic music, appealing to both aficionados of bluegrass and listeners of the wider American roots spectrum.
