Sierra Hull

Sierra Hull’s positively stellar career started early.  That is, if you consider a Grand Ole Opry debut at age 10, called back to the famed stage a few months later at age 11 to perform with her hero and mentor Alison Krauss to be early.  She played Carnegie Hall at 12; at 13 signed with Rounder Records and later issued her debut, Secrets, and garnered the first of many nominations for Mandolin Player of the Year. She eventually made history by becoming the first female to win the prestigious title.  She played the Kennedy Center at 16 and the next year became the first bluegrass musician to receive a Presidential Scholarship from Berklee College of Music.  As a 20-year-old, Hull played the White House and would later be invited back for a second time.

Now in her late 20s, Sierra has received GRAMMY nominations for her last two solo albums and continues to push the musical boundaries with her continued love of exploration in music. She remains deeply rooted in the Bluegrass community but is also inspired and excited by the ever-evolving roots scene. When not working on solo projects, her ability to span multiple genres has led to collaborations with friends and icons such as the Indigo Girls, Garth Brooks, Béla Fleck, Gillian Welch, Brandi Carlile, Dierks Bentley, Cory Wong, Steve Martin, Bobby McFerrin, Jewel, Edgar Meyer and Sturgill Simpson.
