  • Sierra Hull Weighted Mind Release Date: January 29, 2016
    Sierra Hull Weighted Mind Release date: January 29, 2016 This is the turning point. This is where a preternatural talent becomes a natural woman. This is Sierra Hull’s Weighted Mind. It is nothing like what we ​ ​ thought it would be. It is nothing like what we’ve heard before, from anyone. It is singular and emphatic, harmonious and dissonant. It is the realization of promise, and the affirmation of individuality. It is born of difficulty and indecision, yet it rings with ease, decisiveness, and beauty. “She plays the mandolin with a degree of refined elegance and freedom that few have achieved,” says Bela Fleck, the genre-leaping banjo master who produced Weighted Mind. “And now her vocals ​ ​ and songwriting have matured to the level of her virtuosity.” Alison Krauss, who has won more Grammy awards than any female artist in history, says of Hull, “I think she’s endless. I don’t see any boundaries. Talent like hers is so rare, and I don’t think it stops. It’s round.” Hull came to us as a bluegrass thrush, a teen prodigy. Krauss called her to the Grand Ole Opry stage when Hull was 11-years-old. Two years later, she signed with Rounder Records, and soon became known as a remarkable mandolin player, a tone-true vocalist, and a recording artist of high order. She made two acclaimed albums. She played the White House, and Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center, and she became the first bluegrass musician to receive a Presidential Scholarship at the Berklee College of Music.

After a hiatus, Bradley returned to music and took up a musical residency at Renfro Valley, where she often performed on The Sunday Morning Gatherin’ and became a member of The New Coon Creek Girls. After recording four albums with this group, she was offered a solo deal and her first release, East Kentucky Morning, catapulted her into international media and airplay. In the intervening years, she has been nominated for and won numerous awards from the IBMA and the Grammys and has worked with such artists as Alison Brown, Vince Gill and Pam Tillis. Alison Brown is a Grammy Award-winning banjo player, guitarist, composer and producer.

Printed programs will be provided to patrons at the performances. Programs are subject to change. Sierra Hull Sierra Hull, mandolin and vocals Ethan Jodziewicz, bass About Sierra Hull Sierra Hull, the singer, mandolinist and former child prodigy who signed with Rounder at age 13 and distinguished herself by becoming the first bluegrass musician to receive a Presidential Scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music, released Weighted Mind, her first new album in five years, on January 29, 2016. Fifteen-time Grammy Award winner Béla Fleck produced the recording, which features 11 compelling new compositions written or co-written by Hull and one traditional tune for which she and Fleck provided a new arrangement. While Hull’s ethereal voice and fluid playing take center stage here, she receives ample support from bass marvel Ethan Jodziewicz. Fleck’s banjo adorns the elegant Queen of Hearts/Royal Tea, and Alison Krauss, Abigail Washburn, and Rhiannon Giddens add enchanting harmonies. Though she is best known for her work as a mandolin player, Hull reveals in these songs her abundant gifts as a composer and lyricist. Themes of loss and restoration run through the album, starting with the muscular opening number, Stranded, and continue on the stirring Compass, on which she declares, “I’ve thrown away my compass, done with the chart... I’ll just step out, throw my doubt into the sea, for what’s meant to be will be.” The gentle, dissonant title track ponders existential questions, while the haunting Birthday and Fallen Man offer somber reflections on strained relationships and impossible choices.

  • Sierra Hull Graduates from an Old School of Thought | Huffpost
    22.10.2017 Worth the Weighted Mind: Sierra Hull Graduates From an Old School of Thought | HuffPost US E D IT ION THE BLOG 01/29/2016 09:53 am ET | Updated Jan 28, 2017 Worth the Weighted Mind: Sierra Hull Graduates From an Old School of Thought By Michael Bialas It wasn’t that long ago that Sierra Hull was the trainee, not the trainer. Hull, a gifted mandolinist and promising singer-songwriter from Tennessee, had just wrapped up five days as a guest instructor at RockyGrass Academy in Lyons, Colorado, her first time there as a music professor after attending twice previously as a music professional. A day later, she was performing the third time of her developing career before a RockyGrass crowd, essentially opening the festival with a noon set in the simmering sun. The date was July 24, 2015, two months before her 24th birthday and what seemed like an eternity before her next album would be released. Sounding like she was ready to share her new songs with the world right that minute, Hull had to settle for playing a handful of them before RockyGrass listeners who soon found out they’d have to wait until Jan. 29, 2016, to purchase Weighted Mind. From start to finish, the record took three years to make, “which is quite the path to getting an album out and done,” Hull was saying that Friday in July while sitting inside a hospitality tent that had served as one of the Academy’s classrooms. “And I’m young, too. So it’s not like I have 20 records out.

  • Sierra Hull Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL SIERRA HULL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest, is singer, songwriter, and mandolin virtuoso Sierra Hull. SIERRA HULL I carry my mandolin with me. Some lady says, “What kind of music do you play?” and I said, “You know I grew up playing Bluegrass.” So she says, “I just love Bluegrass music,” but she didn’t know what the mandolin was. Well then when she thinks of Bluegrass music, I wonder what she thinks of. When I was about eight years old I decided I wanted to play something. And I would see my heroes and think, someday I want to do what they’re doing. I want to make albums, I want to tour, I want to… I wanted to be just like those people that I admired. Well I’ve been really fortunate. A lot of the people that I have loved and admired the most have been some of the sweetest most encouraging people to me. I was super vulnerable, was definitely not sure about sharing some of these songs or what people would think. Maybe they weren’t even any good. You know you have all this self doubt and things that go in when you’re really trying to share something close to you like that. If there are little girls out there somewhere that are inspired by what I’m doing, I’m so flattered by that. And that’s a really special thing to me because I certainly know what it’s like to be that little girl.
