Instant goosebumps with the 1st phrase. what amazing dynamics, timbre and timing from the whole group. She has the voice of an an angel and fingers that most musicians would sell their soul for

[@eliotduke1753]

Score one for the algorithm. And thank you.

[@elmateo624]

The best music video i have ever seen and heard.

[@Koch52]

Best cover of Mad World ever. She has the voice of an angel.

[@user-hr3jk6bj1b]

Every single member of this band is incredibly talented! Wow!

[@waiteproductions]

That mad world cover was absolutely amazing

[@tedkorkowski7819]

After listening to this, i,ve listened to the large musical catalogue of Sierras albums and videos. I,ve enjoyed it all! Sierra is a monster talent and catalyst for change. Thankyou so much for the love and work you have put in. Im sure you are bringing joy to many people, you do for me.. Nice recording, guys from paste

[@CyranoNYC]

This is THE quintessential Sierra Hull set. The virtuosic playing, the range of style, the voice, the demeanor, the chemistry with her band... This is the video I am going to send to people when I am trying to explain my absolute obsession with her artistry.

[@frankierodriguez8661]

she and Molly Tuttle are the Army in front of such panel of mediocrity. God bless our girls

[@fretfix1]

@@frankierodriguez8661 I believe they are Women. And don't forget Sierra Ferrell. Also a Woman...

[@coryCuc]

@@fretfix1 Oh miss me with that nonsense lol. "Girls" is a term of endearment. Stop looking to be offended and enjoy the obvious sentiment of the comment.

Wanda Jackson meets Dolly Parton

[@sharpsou]

where can i find these song on streming platform? which album?

[@TheDIYTechnician]

She has what other musicians dream of, and that’s ’Perfection’. The lads around her also make her shine. I would love to see this group tour Ireland, they would be hugely popular. ❤☘️

[@mikesimmons4519]

It amazes me only 6200 people have seen this amazing three song performance. I know I have commented on this before and have viewed it several times since, I cannot believe what a talent Sierra is singing and on mandolin. Her band is also super talented. I would really like to know if Sierra arranges these numbers and how much input the band has. Again, my hat is off to this awesome performance.

[@thetxpenguin]

Because of this video I went to see her live when she came through Austin. I expected to love the show but was still blown away! She was astounding, not just on mandolin but with the vocals.

[@FrednDeeDee]

A few hundred years ago when I was in my teens the entire family would head outside to the picnic table to play and sing our hearts out into the night. Those were some of the best days of my life. You folks bring it all right back home to me and I want to thank you very much for the music and the wonderful memories. You're all awesome!!!!!

[@rayfinkle7064]

Guess I'm playing this on repeat until forever !!

[@AmericanGir1333]

Yup 😂❤❤❤❤

[@leebatt7964]

Apparently the drummer cant believe what he’s hearing. The look on his face while shes rippin runs is priceless.

[@235buz]

My God, I've underestimated Sierra. She's the most talented woman of my lifetime and I'm a young 67.

[@need100k]

Never heard of these guys but WOW. They should be famous and this girl is as good if not better than most popular stars out there. What voice too!

[@mbsnyderc]

In the world of Bluegrass she is famous.

[@robertcritchley1338]

My trip to West Virginia and Tennessee introduced me to this gendre of folklore. Fascinating.

[@ArsenAl-zorK]

Absolutely briliant, I come back to this video every now and then.

[@brianjett5718]

Fantastic! Also, I appreciate anybody with a Levon Helm shirt.

[@stringbender57]

Sierra is sounding SO good. What a voice and what a picker!! Excellent group of musicians. I love listening to this young lady.

[@DONNIEWATKINS]

Love Sierra Hull !~!~!~ Cant Wait To See Her And Her Band Again In April Got My Two Tickets :):)

[@pulpmysteryfan]

The Mad World cover is beautifully crafted.

[@TheAbastero]

nobody says it but the audio take is phenomenal, kudos to @Juan M Soria!!

[@JuanSoriaGuitar]

Thanks Esteban!! 🤘🏼

[@T410ce]

Yup, sounds fantastic 👍🏻

[@michaeledwards9376]

One mic takes all. Stupendous audio, fabulous playing. Peace.

[@richardbrumbaugh6481]

Sierra Hull is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists.

[@jeremyschneider9531]

Dang, I've never seen Sierra before...she's FANTASTIC! Her playing, her vocals, and her fun personality. And her band is fantastic too. I love how they are all tuned into each other, keeping it tight, each with their turns to shine.

[@michaelgarrity6090]

My God, what an incredibly talented musician Sierra Hull is. Her choices of covers were awesome. Her rendition of Mad World brought me to tears because it is so achingly beautiful. I had to play that twice and before I move on I will probably play it again. I hope she puts this song on one of her records or soon will do so. Her original track is fantastic as well. She is a virtuoso of the Mandolin. So glad the great KZbin Algorithm brought this video to my feed. She has one talented group of musicians backing her up here, too. PS: I didn't just rewind the video one time, I did three more times. Good lord this lady can play the Mandolin. Her voice is lovely too. The guy playing the fiddle, magnificent work. As they are at the end fading out Mad World, he had this really subtle but beautiful way he played. Sublime awesomeness. Sierra and the band have picked up a new follower.

[@Jewboification]

I saw Sierra Hull@ Clayton Center for the Arts, in Maryville TN, a few years ago!! A brilliant artist, and such a talented group, as well!

[@jaystevens427]

She seems like such a genuine person and such a sweetheart!

[@4b5urd.]

Sierra Hull has a new fan for life 😍 That voice is f***** amazing!

[@chrisbryant1657]

The second song "Lord it's a long way" is killer! Beautiful voice and great band. She's a legend!

[@rickbullock4331]

That was an excellent set. The second tune just about set off the fire sprinklers, that mandolin pick’n was hot. Fantastic musicians all around and Sierra has a terrific voice.👍👍🇨🇦

[@bigtone667]

Bass player has some great groove. All of them have outrageous talent

[@rayfinkle7064]

You have to be world class to play this type of music all of them !!

[@grokeffer6226]

Good job!! I've seen Sierra Hull twice in concert so far. 🎼🎶🎙

[@waltergerlach1059]

Toe tapping and hand clapping music for sure, great band!!! Wonderful job , thanks for sharing this awesome group of musicians with us all.

[@SempreGumby]

"It just got toastier in here". Yes Yes it did. Wonderful playing.. Does my heart good to listen in. Thank you.

[@elrioviolino3549]

Holy Mother of God........bless these fine young folks.....

[@charlesfritter9686]

I could not listen to this amazing women with commenting. Not only amazing, but such a genuinely sweet, awesome person, one of the greatest mandolin players ever, beautiful voice, and cute as a button. As usual, her playing and her bands playing was spectacular. I can listen to Sierra play all the day long.

[@mitchstein1090]

There's a lot of videos of "Lord, That's A Long Way" but none are as fast as this one. Sierra is the best in the business. We need more records, pronto

[@dianesilverstein6475]

What a great vibe this band has!! Can't believe their talent and charisma!❤❤

[@forestsky7064]

Sierra is a sweet sweet treasure of goodness and extreme talent. Great musicians and loved this 👍👍👍

[@wardtroetschel3362]

Sierra, that was the best recording of Mad World. So emotional.

[@charlesbernard9198]

The combo of shredding, emotion, good times and ending with a poignant song selection is incredible

[@christopherbess4018]

Sierra Hull is amazing! Picking that mandolin like a blues genius and love her knowledge of the music. Thank you for this!

[@frankierodriguez8661]

cute chick MONSTER PLAYER

[@timothycollins3829]

That second tune shows how she can learn and adapt from the people she plays with. Her touring with Bela Fleck and Cory Wong have had a noticeable affect on her playing and writing and I for one love it.

[@HeathLetrick]

wow, wow, wow, wow,wow.

[@stewartmackey6195]

It's a good time to be alive . Real music performed by real , talented , people .I'm gonna do my happy dance .

[@fredinct5275]

Caught Sierra @ the Grand Ole Opry, Oct. 18, 2022 a wonderful performance, a must see live. I'm an instant fan !

[@carmensylviasicoliseoane8468]

Gosto muito de música country pois morei 2 anos em Houston. E esta tem um toque muito bom.

[@twangmeister]

OMG, this set was amazing. All 3 songs were great, but the cover of Mad World sent shivers up my spine. Sierra should definitely record this IMHO. Many thanks for capturing this for posterity.

[@AdamWestUS]

This rendition of mad world inspired me to learn the song. I have learned how to sing and play it and at this time I am sending this to my teacher so we may fine tune it.🎶🎶

[@ridewithme3428]

She played it in her set Friday night! It blew my mind and I’m so thankful to have seen her and her band live!

[@gsco82]

All 3 songs were great, but I particularly liked the second one where Sierra showed her great skill as a mandolin player. She is up there with the best.

[@ridewithme3428]

Bombshell is the song! Hope this helps!

[@royjustice1581]

Outstanding. That's it....just flat out outstanding. No other words.

[@joecostello1624]

The second song is WAY TOO GOOD. I CANT STOP REWINDING

[@shoominati23]

I think Metal Shredder guitarists would have trouble keeping up!

[@jeffreycohen3451]

From those of us who simply can't get to these bluegrass festivals, I say THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting these videos. Sierra Hull is a national treasure.

[@michaelgarrity6090]

AGREED!!

[@unakavanagh463]

International treasure!

[@user-pq1rs8im6l]

She’s one of the best out there! And is always surrounded by great musicians.

Beautiful voice. Great band. Found you on Bandcamp will have to download all your stuff!

[@madpicken]

sierra hull is the greatest of all time

[@robertflores4537]

Yes, I can attest, it's not the angle. She really is tiny, but very charismatic in person. Great set, her band seems to have a great chemistry and great skill.

[@ursafan40]

Yeah, she is tiny, but she packs ten feet of talent in that tiny frame.

She says that she is 5’5”. If that’s true her band is unusually tall.

Got hooked on Sierra when she played with Sturgill...now i'm along for the ride

[@champ8899]

What beautiful creations! Thank you for being!!

[@guyot1979]

Such brilliant beautiful tone. Fast, slow, loud, soft, low, high. Always spot on!!

[@vanhalen45]

Keep it real...even when those record label / music industry types try to make you fit a mold. You are better, way better than their mold. Honestly, I did not think I would find something like this. Great work.

[@christopherschissler1675]

Del yeah! Was my 1st Delfest with my 2 sons and their friends. 'Mad World' really struck me when Sierra sang it live! 4 days of music and fun briefly obscured from the harshness of the outside world in such a friendly and beautiful place. That song has been stuck in my head with many pleasant memories.

[@JacobHeadMusic]

When she did it with the set did she play it on the electric or the acoustic mando? This video is the first time I’ve heard her play it not on electric, and it’s absolutely just as gorgeous in that setting. I went to Delfest in 2018, and have heard/met/talked with Sierra a half dozen other times. I know you had a blast. She is an incredible individual and a once in a lifetime talent.

[@_dad_chef_exotics__forksno3381]

Nice jam session, just listen to it with my daughter, shes almost two, and she loved it. 😂👍

[@ersp1]

Yeah, just a little something they threw together without hours and hours of rehersal.

[@justifiedFaith209]

Got to have some top musicians to keep up with Sierra. They are good.

[@DavidHaile_profile]

I’ve commented on this before but after listening to it many times I’m still floored by Sierra and Mad World. She’s made it her own. She’s inspired. Her final mandolin solo is fantastic. I wonder if she performs it in her present tour with Bela Fleck.

[@johniedesk1]

I'm floored what a fine version of Mad World.

[@graemefurrie9272]

Unbelievable playing on this one Sierra...
