“[Sierra Hull is] a shockingly good player, with more than enough ability to play my admittedly angular and sometimes complex form of bluegrass." – Béla Fleck

Sierra Hull, a six-time Grammy nominee including Bluegrass Album of the Year for her latest release A Tip Toe High Wire, brings dazzling musicianship, expressive vocals and genre-bending imagination to the stage. Once a prodigy mentored by Alison Krauss, she has become one of acoustic music’s most captivating voices, blending bluegrass roots with adventurous songwriting and chamber-folk finesse. Her command of the stage has led to widely acclaimed performances including the Outlaw Music Tour alongside artists such as Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and Billy Strings. This concert showcases Hull and her own band at their most intimate, dynamic and emotionally resonant.
