Sierra Hull, Cory Wong + The Wongnotes | Funk band plays a Bluegrass mandolin tune? YES!

[@mechtaphloba_]

That saxophone player's coordination and precision is just incredible

[@Tony-lc7op]

Unbelievable ehhhh, whats the word for "chops" on a saxophone?

[@jysmtl]

Cory: “I wish I could play that clean!” Sierra: “Oh, whatever…”. Awesome.

[@JochenVogel]

I love to see the overlap of two of my favourite scenes of music here. And I'm so much looking forward to hearing more of that stuff. It's all music. And this is just mindblowingly beautiful or vice versa.

[@JimFothergill]

Yup, Sierra Hull is my favorite out there today! Her voice is pretty magical also!

[@sandlinds]

Cory reacted the same way I did! That's some clean, crispy mando-funk getting crushed by Sierra!

[@williamhaggerson5490]

Reminds me of Bela Fleck and Flecktones back in the 90’s.

[@budg.6094]

I was impressed enough just by the playing. If Sierra wrote that, as apparently she did, I don’t even know what to say 👍

[@guitartec]

The woman IS literally UnStOpAbLe!!! After she gets done taking mandolin, guitar and Bluegrass to another level, she will eat the rest of the genres and leave a wake of fame. Her hubby's no slouch either.

[@yermumsyerdad9174]

Justin Moses is a fucking machine. That guy is the ultimate, boss level musician.

[@markslima1557]

For those that think today's music sucks, please watch this video! Amazing playing!

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

Actually, there's a sh*t-ton of great music and [young] musicians out there today... Unfortunately, many of them will never be known to the masses....

[@gewsterro]

(sory for my bad english). as you say "amazing playing", there are a lot of amazing young players around . what they mean by " today's music sucks" is: there is no more good new music (all deja vu), no songwritters as sting, beatles, joni mitchel, and so on. this talent you can not get in barkley or youtube.

[@patriciawallenmusic]

This is awesome. She is such a talented mandolin player and singer!

[@DriftingMunki]

All I can imagine are cartoons or puppets playfully scrambling about to open the show, or something! So fun. 🙌✨

[@andyrharris]

I watch this every few days, to smile.

[@bobsternvogel5550]

Good to see people grounded in another genre appreciate your chops, Sierra! It's obvious you had a lot of fun shooting this video.

[@Cupoforangejuice15]

you will never find a group of musicians who are as completely in it for the music and nothing else than these guys

[@mikemetague7973]

Great new hybrid! FUNKGRASS! 🎶!!

[@lol.jk.unless.24875]

The crossover I always knew I needed.

[@dupaularthur2447]

Such a GREAT complete artist

[@jeffroll8759]

“I need to hit the shed dude.” 100% agree and the dude on sax ain’t messing around either!!

[@ryanjenkyns4184]

I'm ADDICTED to this video, Sierra... and album of this would be my happy-place for years!

[@jamiesmith6171]

Cory = Insane Sierra = Insane WongNotes (Especially the sax) = Insane But the best moment about this video is the geeky laugh the bass player does when Sierra tells everyone how insane the band is.

[@TrapNerdMusic]

No way!!!!! Two of my favs in the same room.

[@76moxie]

Sierra Hull Is unbelievable!

[@jysmtl]

Wow, Sierra, even for you…this was mindblowingly amazing. More of this please!

[@marshalmcdonald7476]

WHAT?! She's tearin' it up here!! I heard her in Chicago at the Old Town School. One of the most amazing concerts I've ever been to.

[@TheIArocks]

Awesome! Great playing and great energy from everyone, I'd love to see you guys live!

[@DavesCoverSongs]

Saw you with Cory in Columbus this past week. Mind BLOWN.

[@mikeschwendeman4403]

So fun! My 6 year old boy was smiling. He said it sounds like cartoon music🤪

[@stephen_lamonica_bass_covers]

I love how a room full of professional musicians, each a virtuoso in their own way, are just in awe! No matter how good you are, there’s always someone even better to inspire you!

[@fookingsog]

@sierrahullmusic I am *SO* Glad you were featured with Cory Wong!!! I wouldn't have found you and your music otherwise!!!🤗

[@sdmf195]

This is so awesome! Thank you for sharing this! You guys sound amazing together and I love your playing!

[@iainmelville9411]

WOW ! That was A - MAZE- ING ! Good Lord, what a giant talent. Such fun, as well. Just such great stuff.

[@mg43472]

She is AMAZZZING!.. been following the second I heard of her..

[@brucemarston5344]

Only Sierra Hull! Can’t wait to see you no matter what venue or style. Keep on rock’n.

[@potentialreality]

I read your bio before listening to your channel. Grand Ole Opry at 10, Carnegie Hall at 12. Wow! This video is amazing!

[@DominicSewellMusic]

The expressions on the rest of the band members' faces says it all! Ha ha - joyous!

[@TrevorBottomley]

Just loved that, Danny, that's some player.

[@robertoclemente449]

WOW !!! FANTASTIC !!! Greetings from Europe , Estonia.

[@josephroorda4410]

I bought tickets for this tour literally as soon as they went on sale - and then bought more when I realized I could go to another show! I'm so beyond hyped to see what you and Cory are doing live!

[@andrewcollins1313]

The crossover I didn't know I needed!

[@1tombensky]

Fantastic! I really enjoyed that the non-playing musicians were smiling in amazement.

[@winkcrittenden6011]

It's funny to see all these pros watch Sierra with their jaws on the floor.

[@davidhoxit4274]

So much speed and energy!

[@zachmatthews9857]

Niiiiiice! Love me some bluegrass. Cannot wait to see you all + Antwaun in Atlanta next week! Sierra you are amazing!

[@FromTheBeast]

The Wongnotes' faces are priceless

[@СергейУрывский-я8ю]

)))))))Absolutely amazing, melodic and funny!!!

[@dingelfranz]

Amazing!

[@fukawininetynine5999]

THAT was fun!

[@soultylive]

So fresh & talented in this all weird digital world

[@FrancescoPinetti]

I love that session!! Great!!!!!!

[@stephenwhite5658]

That was AWSOME!!!

[@michaelrmcornejo]

again, SIERRA HULL IS AN UNDERRATED MUSICAL JUGGERNAUT.

[@Dead-Eye]

Underrated? Where tf have you been? She gets plenty of recognition - and rightly so. Most people I see or hear talking about Sierra Hull count her among the very best.

[@deandaniel4911]

That's awesome Sierra Hall ! 😎

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Frigging amazing!!

[@BillDWatkins]

Sierra, you can get on any stage and play with the beat of them! Thank you for sharing! They seemed surprised BTW. You rocked it!

[@flintdavis2]

All she has to do is smile and I’m captivated. Mandolin playing is a bonus!🤗

[@whythesadface]

I'm having a bon fire tonight, I've already thrown seven mandolins on it. I've got some friends coming around with their instruments too. None of us realised the bar was so high!

[@bikramjitgoswami9139]

Absolutely fantastic. This is unbelievably amazing perfection.

[@markskywalker71]

Sierra, you are so great, unbelievable playing.

[@Khristoph_er]

Amazing

[@mississippijohnfahey7175]

Oh no, it sounds like a crazy carnival level of a video game...

[@richardgleichmann7671]

Wish I could have gotten some tix for the DC show at The 9:30.. Thanks for this little snippet though... It looks like it's going to be everything (and more), as one could imagine..🔥🔥🔥. Hope all y'all have fun, and "break a leg"..❣👍

[@mandograssable]

Well, that was certainly impressive!

[@lucaswarfel5849]

Just saw you last night in Philly on the tour!! Didn't realize it was you until I remembered a video of a mando player doing 40oz by Polyphia halfway through the concert. Then I put two and two together. You were amazing and your playing fits so well with the band. Hats off to you!

[@phoenixdown06]

More of this!

[@jonnya3425]

Sierra is like, "I'm not even the only one in my house who can play that s--t clean!"

[@hello0000000001]

This is so insanely awesome!!! I mean what a combo... Funky Bluegrass....this is swinging SO tight it's almost naughty and all the really good vibes between band members is coming right in the viewers face :) Could ya'll just considering coming to Europe on tour in that setup and particular Denmark when this pandemic is all over please!!!!! Cory & Team and Sierra - you're amazing!!! "Sierra you're insane.....This band is insane :))"

[@leonwhildenjr4483]

Hi little star! 🙂❤️ Sierra are you showing off again! lol 😁 I’m proud of you and I love you!🦁❤️💋💋💋⭐️🐅⚡️🌺🐝🔆🦄🌻🕊🦋

[@patrickbryant_]

You were awesome in Pittsburgh!

[@sumboy]

Mandolin rocks👍👍

[@2old4u]

Excellent.

[@MisterSparkles]

Love it 😍

[@mborok]

MORE!

[@Dony0129]

just been to DC concert you were astonishing!

[@johnemorrison-kj3ox]

BRILLIANT ! ! 🎶

[@ChrisBevanBass]

Sam Greenfield's face at 0:35 says it all... wicked stuff!

[@goodcommentman1512]

This is worthy of many good comments. :)

[@davidespinosa1910]

The guys are looking at each other -- how does she do it ?!!

[@TeeHallumsYT]

Face melting. Id take out a 2nd mortgage to fund a full album with this combo/approach!

[@joeycraighead5595]

Is there a full version of this that's somewhere or going to be? It's amazing and I'd love to hear more!

[@BelleTolles]

Wow!

[@thelongislandguy]

I never thought I’d see Cory Wong and Sierra Hull together in the same video. I didn’t even know they knew each other. Great job, Sierra! Is she using some kind of effect on that mandolin? It almost sounds cartoonish at times.

[@fragwagon]

That's just a pro mandolin, a great mic, and a player at the height of her powers.

[@thelongislandguy]

@@fragwagon i’ve been a fan of Chris Thile for years and I’ve never heard anything like that. I’ll take your word for it though because I just don’t know enough myself.

[@thelongislandguy]

@@fragwagon I just listened with headphones. There may be some doubling of the mandolin by some of the other instruments. I think that’s what’s fooling my ear. It is especially noticeable every time she slides up to a note. It almost sounds like a cat.

[@fragwagon]

@@thelongislandguy that is a fun slide in this piece for sure

[@TenaciousPrawn]

The melody is also being played by a sax. Is that what you are hearing?

[@dirkxD99]

This is great! Where can I find this recording?

[@yoninissan]

Got some serious Bela Fleck & The Flecktones vibes on this one!

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Sierra _is_ insane. And I firmly believe there is nothing she can't play.

[@paolofurlanis3122]

I relate so much to Michael's reaction at 0:36

[@binarypasta7633]

Loved listening to you last night!

[@coleockerse5473]

Come to Michigan!!!

[@leehjones]

I saw the title and said, "Wait, what? Cory Wong and Sierra Hull? Is this real life?"

[@Andrestenore]

Hermoso!!!

[@GorgBasil]

0:51 "What?!?! Sierra you are insane" Sax player: "I was insane too but everyone takes it for granted now... :("

[@dozensides]

You wait. This band's insane. (I quote)

[@TheRealGoopyGoop]

wish i could go to rochester tonight

[@JohnPaulsEuropa]

Hell yah!!

[@JohnPaulsEuropa]

Just looked at the sched....this line-up won't be at Suwannee in March or in Stuart. The Wongnotes not coming to FL at all...shameshameshame

[@babyfelizardo4041]

Essa mulher é demais, que grande musicista.

[@RickarooCarew]

holy tomoly... you rock

[@Jonnysh]

Poor Sonny T getting cut off at the end there "makes me want to kick my bass... man! how come you don't sound like that?"

[@mrdesperate1]

Why no love for the dude playing sax? What he did was just as if not more impressive (Most of my experience is with stringed instruments, the little I've played sax or harmonica the more impressive I find that stuff.)

[@sean_on_bass]

It's just cause we are all used to him being amazing while Sierra is a newer face for Wong watchers :)

[@FoolishFrankie]

Eddie Barbash will go down as one of the best saxophonists to ever live

[@carlnoel9479]

Eddie Barbash is amazing.

[@johntrudel6849]

I understand your point about the differences between your lungs + fingers vs. mainly fingers doing most of the work, but can't we just celebrate one at a time without someone inserting their critique of a small snapshot of a much larger rehearsal? even Sierra tries to downplay. Check out the full rehearsal before you marginalize Sierra Hull, who's literally a virtuoso on mandolin. She's been shredding since she was 9.

[@mrdesperate1]

@@johntrudel6849 I don't think you "understand my point" because you're adding a LOT of conjecture about my motives and perspective that simply are not there. I was simply stating that during the video, I was insanely impressed by the sax guy and wanted to make a comment about that. The fact that you believe I'm "marginalizing" Sierra, is just plain weird. My motives and purposes are not even close to where you perceive them to be.

[@disprogreavette8545]

Zappa time.

I had to check and make sure my playback speed wasn't at 2x
