ROCHESTER - Sierra Hull, singer, mandolinist and former child prodigy appeared on the Grand Ole Opry stage at age 11 and signed with Rounder Records at age 13. She has played the White House, Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center and will perform one night only on Nov. 17 at the Rochester Opera House.
Hull has distinguished herself by becoming the first bluegrass musician to receive a Presidential Scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music.
Her January 2016 release of Weighted Mind was a turning point where a preternatural talent became a natural woman. "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, "I think she's endless. I don't see any boundaries. Talent like hers is so rare, and I don't think it stops."
