Sierra Hull interview

Sierra Hull interview

Author: Matt Hutchinson January 27, 2023 Duration: 34:57

My guest this week is Sierra Hull.

I caught up with Sierra before the London show on her UK tour with Justin Moses. 

We chatted about how spending so much time at home over the course of the pandemic changed her outlook on things and about some of the collaborations she's been part of over the past year, including touring with Cory Wong and her involvement in Bela Fleck's 'My Bluegrass Heart' record and tour.

We also talk about the new record Sierra's currently in the process of making, her ArtistWorks course and much more.

It was a treat to record and a great way to celebrate Bluegrass Jam Along's 250th episode!

Thanks to Maria Ivey and Kerry Fee for their help in making this happen.

Make sure you check out Sierra's website for  tour dates, info and news.

You can also keep in touch via Sierra's Instagram and Facebook

If you want mandolin lessons from Sierra, check out her ArtistWorks course.

Check out the Justin Moses interview I did too if you missed it first time round!

Thanks everyone and happy picking!
Matt
