About Sierra Hull
From the age of 11, Hull has been recognized as a virtuoso mandolin player. Now a seasoned artist in her mid-20s, Hull has created a masterful album. With instrumentation comprised mainly of mandolin, bass, and vocals, and with production by Béla Fleck along with vocal guests Alison Krauss, Abigail Washburn, and Rhiannon Giddens adding to the luster. Béla Fleck also guests on banjo on two tracks, and duo partner Ethan Jodziewicz, not only anchors the record on bass, but introduces us to a major new instrumental voice.
