1h 7m
East Tennessee native and multi-instrumentalist Sierra Hull performs songs she’s written and answers audience questions as part of the Museum’s weekly Musician Spotlight series. Avery Merritt and Shawn Richardson perform alongside Hull during this program, supported by the Segal Bluegrass Collective, presented in support of the Museum’s “American Currents: State of the Music” exhibition, and recorded on March 22, 2026.
Hull starts the program with the songs “Boom” and “Lord, That’s a Long Way,” both featured on her 2025 album, “A Tip Toe High Wire.” She later performs another one of that album’s tracks, “Spitfire,” inspired by her grandmother. Hull also performs “Beautifully Out of Place,” from her 2020 album, “25 Trips”; “Walk on Boy,” originally performed by Doc Watson and written by Mel Tillis and Wayne Walker; Bill Monroe’s “Rawhide”; and an instrumental traditional, “The Arkansas Traveler.”
In 2016, Hull became the first woman to receive the International Bluegrass Music Association Mandolin Player of the Year award. Since then, she’s won that award a total of seven times. In 2025, Gibson released the Sierra Hull F-5 Master Model and the Sierra Hull F-5G mandolins, making Hull the first woman to be honored with a signature Gibson mandolin.
