Did this really just happen? Sierra Hull, Po Ramblin Boys and Wyatt Ellis Encore Jam

[@4houndswhoheal479]

This is the pure spirit of every Bluegrass Festival. Musicians JUST finished their set then naturally just go off into the crowd & start jamming w the locals.

[@scray00]

Anytime I need a little smile I come on over to Wyatt’s channel ❤

:)

[@asahoura2798]

the real hero is the bass player.

[@limey222]

This is the correct answer.

[@gabrielcaleb9277]

Of COURSE ❤️

[@nicholasklein9180]

Amen!

[@stevesherman2923]

Correct

[@bluepez57]

Yep. Look how fast Sierra’s hand is moving

[@amandagibboney7054]

I was raised on bluegrass and love that younger people are getting into it. Keep it up Wyatt!

[@haegenbyrne]

same here

[@aaroncummins2752]

I'm from Ireland , the music is so similar but it just has a different twist🤟👌love it😊

[@KarlKarsnark]

There are lots of Bluegrass versions of Old Irish standards and you'll often see the same players at both festivals here in the Sates. Erin go Bragh!

[@aaroncummins2752]

@@KarlKarsnark Ireland forever " a hole lott of Irish over time have gone to America" and brought music with them, a fine music talent over there" great stuff🙋karl

[@mauriciodelossantos8314]

I am In love with bluegrass music I am from Jalisco Mex God bless the USA 👍👍👍

[@dlagrua]

What a great way to honor the audience than by playing in their center. There are some fine musicians in this group . Laura Orshaw's and Avery Meritt's fiddle solo's were incredible as was Sierra's mandolin solo,. Don't know who the other guys were but they lit is up as well. This does represent the heart and soul of America.

[@dlagrua]

Wyatt you are on your way to being a true great player in bluegrass

[@camofrog]

The heart and soul of America is way more than white people jamming.

Takes me back to my own bluegrass festival days.. music of the people in amongst the people!

[@williamsmith7406]

Been in this business since 1947 and this is has got to be the best jam session ever and I have been all over. so much fun to watch Jeff Saunders on the bass. Sierra has got to be the most educated and the most progressive mandolin player in the world. Hint: No one else could have learned all the ( My Bluegrass Heart) tunes.

[@fishhuntadventure]

Real musicians don’t need a stage or a plan they just need their instruments and a song. I was at a country music event with my daughter (2006??) and there was a ‘private’ little stage show between “acts” where different musicians were doing a little impromptu one after the other. Interesting but not…outstanding. Until Craig Morgan came out. He called up some of the others from backstage and tried to do a little jam with them. Craig was the only musician- the others just performers- and it flopped bad. Nobody could just pull it off, no jam skill. That little jam on the dirt with Hull and the others was over the top and fun, great to listen to. Real musicians.

[@fretfix1]

Jeff Saunders is a force of nature on bass...this is shortly before the 'other' Sierra (Ferrell) snatched him up for her band:)

[@anthonyhaylock6655]

Sierra and her friends just having a blast , how can you not love it , all very talented folks indeed :)

[@dees4959]

I remember when Laura Orshaw was just 13 years old, playing at the Wrench Wranch in Coventryville, NY! She's always been amazing - so glad to see her nationally known!

[@mspinksarahbug]

Goose bumps. Head to toe goosebumps. My people!

[@WyattEllis]

😊

[@kevincozens6837]

I like how Sierra kicks it off and everyone else knew the song and jumped right in.

[@sidsnot6952]

Greetings from 🇬🇧 great music 👍🏻

[@billstetler6769]

Good clean fun and Awsome pickers

[@alan4sure]

Boy that's an amazing bunch of musicians to jam with Wyatt! You're a lucky guy! 👍👍

[@WyattEllis]

🙏🏼

[@healingspiritart]

Makes my heart sing! 😊

[@josephking1947]

This was in my recommend so I had no idea who any of the musicians are or what they was going to play, what a pleasant surprise when they did, it reminded me of time spent in Ireland.

[@calvingarrett3245]

I'll be damned all of you was amazing I just made my 61st birthday complete and that bass player you are awesome dude thank you for sharing that made my day

[@robinwatauga]

Don't know for sure, but I was at what may have been the source seed for this type of performance. A few years back I worked the 25th Anniversary Party for Asheville music venue The Grey Eagle. It was held at Lake Eden, with back-to-back stages on the lawn sloping down to the lake, alternating sets. Sierra Hull opened the festival. About halfway through her set, there was a loud "POP!" and the sound system croaked. Sierra did not miss a beat, grabbed her mandolin, jogged off stage right of the platform (just like here), leading her band to finish the set 4-5 rows deep in the center aisle of the audience.

[@billquailes7882]

Excellent!! I cannot think that fast

[@michaelsurratt9593]

That was Awesome of Sierra and company to come out and play with them.

[@pavelkratochvila6157]

Brilliant music circle and I like what can hear, nice Sierra´s solo and violins dialogue.

[@butchjackson4428]

In case y'all haven't figured it out, it really is Sierra's show. A real star. A legend in front of you. The real deal. And you live in her times, and she , in yours. And this happened because she led everyone to it, cause she's a star & other players will follow.

[@samuelbarham8483]

This is so beautiful -- I'm crying.

[@WyattEllis]

❤️

[@billroberts4910]

For the artists, a moment in time. For the audience, a moment of a lifetime.

[@mountaintyme2000]

For that little guy, Wyatt. A reason to keep picking. I simply don't understand people who have no clue about how this music stays alive and down voted this.

[@mattdyke589]

This is so good!!!

[@stevepalchak7340]

Just wonderful music

[@fumastertoo]

That was fantastic!!!

[@genesishandboards]

Now this is why I LOVE BLUGRASS! What other genre of music at a show the band on stage comes down to jam with the audience?

[@sidneypoe2986]

Awesome!!! I could listen to that all day.👍

[@grumpyg9350]

So much fun. Wish I was there.❤️

[@RTCarterful]

I hate to say it but has always been very common in Bluegrass Music that the main acts at some point during the festivals join the common people, like myself, and jam away the weekend. It's very nice and fun for them too.

[@SillyMoustache]

Ah, I used to go to a bluegrass camp and whilst I studied under some of the best names in the business - the jams on the lawn (and later in the bar) were so good, and you never knew who you might be playing with/alongside/after. Once, a few beers down I was impressed with the mando player to my right - hadn't seen him before, but he was good. I learned later that he was John Paul Jones. Oh, BTW - I want the banjo player's shirt!

[@malins5819]

I love that John Paul Jones is into Mandos. And he seems to be such a nice guy!

[@LPSpooks]

Beautiful....the love and harmony!!!

In the 60's I use to attend such impromptu hootenannies every Sunday afternoon in Washington Square park, Greenwich Village neighborhood in lower Manhattan - less than two miles north of the Wall Street financial district. Come Monday morning some of the musicians were at their desk in 3 piece suites.

[@WyattEllis]

@@albertbegin5119 My grandpa was one of them.

[@brianog5267]

One word…. Wow….. thanks!

[@tonycarey9731]

WOW!! What a performance! If that didn't wake the crowd up nothing will! Half a century ago I played in a trio called the Phallyc Phusilleers - don't ask why, I just did - and we were gigging to raise money for Greenpeace. As we approached the first rest interval the building was hit by lightning and all power was lost to the PA systems. So, we got the crowd to shuffle their tables around and we stood in the middle to complete the evening. Many folk thought that the best part when we got down amongst them and an intimacy developed between us and our audience - blooming GREAT night indeed!
