I don’t know who’s booking these opening acts but they deserve a raise

[@olebubby]

Two of the greatest musicians of their generation, Sierra Hull and Justin Moses.. and they happened to be married. Sierra has an awesome band and Justin has played with almost everyone. They were both featured on Bela Fleck’s My Bluegrass Heart tour over the last year and a half and Sierra played on all of the Sturgill Simpson Bluegrass recordings. The two of them together makes for some incredible playing and singing.

[@jimfort9183]

That was a real treat for all us bluegrass fans ! Sierra's right up there with Molly Tuttle in the BG world

[@luismiguelcueavalos8469]

Wow, a full concert of this caliber all for your self. What a gift.

[@nelsong4719]

Dynamic Duo Leland. Thank you. Makes me re-appreciate my love of bluegrass.

[@mickknight6963]

Pullin' out his Dobro! Man I love these two. Always good. Thanks for the pre-show!

[@vegasaxeman]

This is one of the many things that I love about you Lee; you don't shun talented artists to make yourself look so much better, you bring them to the front and shine the spotlight on them! Thank you my friend. I hope that you realize just how much of a boost in recognition and validation that you brought these two by spotlighted them on your channel to your fans and friends! You're a good man my friend. Keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight Lee! God bless and take care...

[@NickNicometi]

Excellent shredding on those BG licks! Lovely pure & sweet vocal harmonies. With sound check, who needs a concert.

[@enidsnarb]

They are fantastic ! Such a treat to see this sound check !!!! I have seen this picture of Sierra’s left fiddle tip callouses and they are quite substantial due to the amount of time and hard work she puts in !

[@patlatorres7000]

The REAL joy comes in watching Sierra's face as she plays. The pure joy in playing just shines through! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@artemisXsidecross]

What marvelous playing ability they both exhibited, with their only on stage amplification were well chosen microphones and their placement. A traveling musician’s dream of simplicity for being on the road. 👍

[@kateconway-hickman5945]

Fantastic ❤️ Thank 😊 You ❤️ Justin Moses and Sierra Hull ❤️ at The Majestic, Dallas, Texas with Lee Sklar and Lyle Lovett's Acoustic Group Spring 2023. . .❤️ Thank You!

[@pizzicatoprod]

Well, thank you, Leland. This was a treat! We have been fans of Justin and Sierra for quite some time. It's too bad Ethan Jodziewicz isn't playing URB with them anymore. Their show was an outright spectacle. That theater is going to be full of musical joy this evening. Have a grand time, and thanks again!

[@markcasey3991]

Love Sierra Hull! thanks Mr. Sklar.

[@myexperience_is]

I like Alison Krauss but Love Sierra's Hull's music.

[@Ian-Steele]

Thank you Lee for bringing us this beautiful singing and playing. Please pass on our cheers to both of them for a brilliant performance. Your audience is in for a real treat tonight.

[@whodder06]

Virtuoso mandolinist and ArtistWorks bluegrass mandolin instructor, Sierra Hull, was recognized as 2022’s “Mandolin Player of the Year,” making this her fifth victory in the category after winning three consecutive years in a row between 2016 and 2018 and taking home the award in 2021 as well. Justin Moses is a unique acoustic instrumentalist and singer. He plays mandolin, guitar, banjo, fiddle, dobro, and bass. He made his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2008 with the Dan Tyminski Band and was named 2018 Dobro Player of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA). Hull and Moses were married on May 14, 2017.

[@Mark_Brooks]

@@artemisXsidecross Cheers, Artemis. Saturday night with bluegrass music. I can barely think of anything better.

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

Thanks!

[@douglove2412]

Those two are an explosion of talent! Incredible. Thanks for this!

[@richardmarcotte3983]

Another opening act 2 more thank you cards for Leland Sklar! One from from the act and one from the viewers of this video! We sure do appreciate the view!

[@zackman86]

Sierra Hull is awesome! One of the best mandolin players in the Bluegrass world.

[@neilgendzwill3260]

Justin also plays fiddle and banjo really well, in case you thought he lacked versatility. Sierra’s been playing funk with Cory Wong lately, she’s incredible.

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Thank you for filming this Leland. They sound fantastic and that last song brought a tear to my eye.

[@bradb2514]

I think I saw smoke coming off those strings! Wow, fantastic! 👍👍

[@dougmay8924]

Yea,,,!!! Soundchecks ! ,,,Just play,,for along time,,,,Jam,KEEP JAMMIN,,,,I'M GONNA GET IT!!!!

[@91Kingscrib84]

Sounds like Lyle has had his ear to the ground with bringing these two talented players on board! Woo! Makin' a joyful noise. 😊 Thank you for sharing this with those of us who aren't able to attend the concerts. Vancouver BC is still listening in.

[@neilgendzwill3260]

Don’t think you need your ear to the ground, if you’re aware of bluegrass at all you know who these people are.

[@lavatar3562]

Thanks Lee. Their marriage is a match made in Bluegrass Heaven!

[@briannefultonmiller2956]

Thanks for sharing this and thanks for highlighting them! I’m in Sierra’s online mandolin class and have had the chance to meet her. These people are truly as kind and humble as they are talented. They deserve every accolade given!

[@rustyparadise5748]

Another terrific recommendation. Thanks for letting us sit in.

[@eddiebirkett9602]

amazing singers and players Sierra and Justin

[@frankcastel3239]

what a treat, thank you for sharing ✌👌

[@carlmally6292]

Sierra Hull is flipping brilliant. Equally adept on all mandolin family instruments, guitar and who knows what else. Justin, her husband, is a match for her. I first heard her at Merlefest when she was 13 playing in front of 75000 people and already knocking it out of the park. She has done nothing but mature and improve since. She plays equally well slow and soulful as fast and furious.

[@BP-ww9fp]

Big fan of Sierra Hull! She's an amazing mandolin player. Talk about an intimate performance 😉

[@myexperience_is]

She's an excellent singer as well. I like Alison K and her about the same. Sierra has a beautiful voice. I absolutely LOVE her Secrets Album that her and Ron Block produced. Just discovered her music couple months ago.

[@kennonmoen4424]

What a wonderful blend of voices! Glad you were able to catch them at sound check and bring them to us here in the cheap seats.

[@TheShakyArtist]

Superb musicianship!

[@FreedomRock44]

I do not think Justin and Sierra have to think they are like you Lee their guitars/Mandolins are like their third arm!!!!!! Unreal!!!!!!

[@robertfox499]

They both amaze me and are among my favorite all around musicians in the whole wide world.

[@prophet74]

I saw Sierra perform Mad World about a year ago on KZbin. First I'd seen her...and she's amazing.

[@grantligon9770]

Love the change in key change they work on "This Morning at 9" Gives it some flavor. Thanks for posting

[@gustavoviveros8394]

Thanks for share 👌🏻

[@jessiejoseph1093]

So glad bluegrass is on your stage and your radar!

[@brenthollar3600]

Thanks for letting me tag along with you Leland 🪕🎸🎶🎵

[@brettmarlar4154]

Wow... They're like a bluegrass Les Paul and Mary Ford!!!! Did the two guys last night have those Pencil Mics for their guitars as well? Could only see the the vocal mic during their set. It would make sense considering how clear their guitars sounded.

[@eddiethek]

Beautiful! Like this generation's Carter family...

[@dannyLnyc]

Sierra and Justin are incredible. I've been following Sierra since she was 10, playing a tune with Sam Bush. What a treat! Thanks for posting!!!

[@cjm3122]

Justin is such a smooth guitarist. Could watch him all day. And if that's not enough, he goes and picks up the dobro.

[@davidbishop7181]

Sierra's just so awesome. So is her hubby!

[@jrsn2music]

Absolutely fabulous! Thank you, Lee!

[@Mark_Brooks]

2022 Billboard awards: Resophonic guitar player of the year: Justin Moses

[@artemisXsidecross]

👍

[@FreedomRock44]

Wow........Ummmm she has to be one of the best Mandolin players I have ever seen!!!!!! Period!!!!

[@fiddlefolk]

Just killing it! Wow!

[@piscator57]

Great stuff, thanks

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

👍👍. Wow! This was great!!! Particularly liked the last two pieces. Will look them up! Finally, another female in cargo pants..... But does she use them to carry implements to clean her weed whacker? I think not. Probably just implements for all those stringed instruments she plays....

[@mathumphreys]

Wow!

[@slipperynoodle20]

That's some fine picking! I think there's an album in my future. Thanks ❤️ 👍❤️👍

[@pamr4040]

Just lovely! ❤❤

[@eddiebirkett9602]

i am clapping my hands in the kitchen ,and stompin my feet when i can

[@nelsonriches]

So good!!

[@richabolistic]

And Justin Moses is a multi instrumental monster who has spent the last year touring with Bela Fleck. AND they are the cutest married couple in live music.

[@user-bh7fj7hq8u]

Sierra Hull & Justin Moses, is always a very great to watch and listen at the wonderful Music of them🫲🫲🫲🫲🫲

[@gatekeeper65]

They're awesome ! I so love when you bring people who are outside our usual listen to our attention. Gotta get out to see them sometime. Have a great day Leland, and remember to hydrate :O)

[@splashesin8]

❤😊 Played it all again.

[@salmuscles]

Hi lee ..I think his name is Justin Moses...per Wikipedia

[@mgmtrace1]

This lady plays that beautiful mandolin so well.

[@richabolistic]

For those who don’t know, Sierra Hull had a record contract with Rounder Records at the age of 13. #legend

[@myexperience_is]

Wow that last song. Justin is a great singer as well. Wish I could join there band. Lol

[@erickorte2552]

Wow! Burnin'!

[@perrydror]

I have been crazy about Sierra Hull go a few years already. I saw her at Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion 2 1/2 weeks ago. She and her band gave such great performances! (Not that this was surprising.)

[@barbiemckofka8700]

Great music 🎶 😊 Be safe 🙏 Is JB doing any better? Healing prayers for Jackson

[@sjt4225]

Sierra Hull is amazing.

[@lindaregelean8015]

What a treat! Talented pair!

[@mrbotucker]

Lovely. Thank you!

[@JefferyHunt]

Hull has done some marvelous work with Cory Wong recently.

[@walterbordett2023]

Thanks for bringing this to us. I think Sierra's instrument mike needed more gain. These two will warm up the crowd for sure and Lyle and his band will have to be on their game to keep up.

[@TJR-CO]

Awesome opening act !!

[@scottbrantley3866]

Are the current opening acts local to the venue? These are incredible musicians. Love seeing the sound checks!

[@zackman86]

Sierra Hull is kind of a nationwide act. She does a lot in the bluegrass world.

[@scottbrantley3866]

@@zackman86 thank you. Incredible. I've loved each of the opening acts. Top notch.

[@mousejustmouse]

Nice! Makes me sad that I cannot see every single Lyle performance, he always has the best musicians in his company!

[@RUHDD4HVN]

He who's they guy in the peanut gallery? Sounds familiar..........

[@alaskadaysalaska4485]

I see she has read my pamphlet on the mandolin, fantastic

[@philip2750]

Yes, it is Justin Moses not Justin Moores according to my quick research.

[@pine3737]

They are cute!

[@billfletcher7602]

Awesome!

[@apfeltorte99]

Wow ❤❤❤

[@michaelmullins1290]

Two of the finest musicians on earth. I don't know where this was, but it sounded awesome. And looked beautiful. I'd like to know what mics their using?

[@michaelmcgannon5588]

Killer aren't they! Just saw them with the Bela Fleck Bluegrass Heart tour.

[@jackforsythe6480]

For a real treat, watch her at 11 (I think) play "Cluck Old Hen" with AKUS.

[@tomabbot7324]

Fabulous! Back up and punt~!

[@michaellaverty1844]

Dynamic Duo 🎶

[@ArtFernandez1]

This is no opening act. This is the real deal!

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Does anyone know the name of that last song they performed, the ballad? Thanks.

[@neilgendzwill3260]

"Ceiling To The Floor", it's one of Sierra's originals, it was nominated for a Grammy for best American roots song.

[@amysscentsandsongs]

@@neilgendzwill3260 oh thank you so much!! It's just gorgeous. ❤️😭❤️

[@CreamyBone]

Second comment. Who was the headliner act. Holy smokes. To follow those two.

[@oldwest517]

Opening for whom?

[@lelandsklar6363]

Lyle Lovett
