I have OVER 1000 videos posted here on You Tube and I would definitely rate this among my top 2-3 ALL TIME ! Check this video out and others I posted of Sierra at this same event :) Steve

[@debbie94510]

She is one of the cleanest players of any stringed instrument I have ever heard. Just astonishing talent and ability.

[@jamesmandolin]

Her touch is absolutely exquisite - she is an astounding, my favourite mandoplayer

[@Coopdog1911]

Very good indeed

[@outlawliteratureart1887]

I love this music. I'm just learning the mandolin. One I master my little treasure I'm getting an Octave. God its so deep & rich Feel it in your soul

[@williamkavanagh8805]

Virtuoso, incredibly gifted musician.

[@sarahvangeisha318]

The way she smiles and sways gently whilst stepping high on the rythym steady chugging along is just adorably neat and clean yet is not just one aspect of her flow musically speaking or her total presence just flows like a river her soloing style is melodic voicing coming from a factory power plant of back beat and is so intentional from the very first note to the last . She is a rare blooming flower indeed , may she live long and multiply! She has got it!

[@kevinhennessey3189]

She has that magical IT that I cannot put IT into words but I know IT when I hear IT. My Goodnees!

[@louisestaats234]

And she sings amazingly well. A monopoly on talent.

[@MySlim66]

Good thing I am a Hindu. I can worship multiple Gods. She is the mandolin goddess I worship. She is simply unbelievable! And so were the Tenor banjo and guitar players. Feast to eyes and ears.

[@banjopete]

That’s not a Tenor Banjo, it’s what is called a five string.the tuning peg half way up the neck is a giveaway.

[@jjmuni]

@@banjopete and she is not playing a mandolin. Looks more like a mandala to me.

[@RobGale]

@@jjmuni It's an octave mandolin as mentioned in the description.

[@heliopijpe]

To be fair, I think, U. Srinivas which lived in South India was the actual undisputed mandolin champion ,-) hhha but I love your comment ^^ He did play carnatic classical music tho , I wonder how he would have done with Bluegrass on a octave size mandolin (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6OslqOZgqZ_eas) and here with western Jazz collegues kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHKafq2lbJiWmpY

[@woodswalker88]

Now I remember why I LOVED Bluegrass back in the 70s!!!

[@SteveHanesFiddleMusic]

+Laura Woodswalker YEP ! Her playing will do that LOL. I loved being able to capture this video for all to enjoy :) Thanks for your nice comment Laura :) .... Steve

[@jamesmandolin]

Sweet Holy Moley, that is how you do it kids! She is AMAZING! Hardly anyone plays the Octave in Britain and Ireland - me and a handful of others..

[@lowellirish]

No...but but bouzouki players abound!!

[@johnlorenz3025]

I saw her live recently and it was fantastic, but this performance is unbelievable.

[@lowellirish]

Fantastic musicianship!!❤

[@louiscraddock9853]

Quite simply the BEST then and now. 🙂

[@Thompsongs]

Her playing is hypnotic. So quick and clean.

[@spwb2k]

my new favorite artists i didnt know existed a month ago wow.

[@jamesmandolin]

You don'y know how in love I am with this brilliant player - she is one of half a dozen people I have ever seen playing my chosen instrument and she is incredible! What a talent.. oh the guys are quite good too! SIERRA PLEASE COME TO EUROPE!!

[@pavelkratochvila6157]

*The mandolin goddess plays with her whole body. Especially with bold and skilled fingers, then such beautiful music is created. Great the other too.

[@kirbyhumphrey3684]

I have watched this over and over again the last few months and I absolutely love it.

[@SteveHanesFiddleMusic]

Thanks .. I knew when I was shooting the video that it was gonna be a very special performance .. and indeed it is .. 😎😍

[@nealsmith6035]

Watching Sierra playing in her zone is just the best you can hear all the years of playing of honing her craft wonderful truly wonderful

[@ryand.5857]

LOVE this woman!!!! She just KILLS it every time. Amazing talent!

[@nonh8nsk8r]

Jaw hits the floor.

[@musiclover9361]

No better response: just jaw dropping.

[@cHUCHo458]

When the eyes of that musical angel get serious... the rhythm, sound and feelings just get deeper, she becomes magic and her music turns into a rain of colorful flowers.

[@musket-hc1fc]

Good writing. Poetic. Describes Sierra nicely.

[@jamesmandolin]

I like what you say, very poetic!

[@mythoughts1................1]

200,000k viewers. I'm not surprised. Who DOESN'T want to watch a beautiful Tennessee lady jamn' the mandolin.

[@dlagrua]

Sierra Hull and her husband Justin Moses are two of the greatest Bluegrass/Newgrass musicians of today. SIerra has complete mastery of her mandolin while Moses is up there with the best on Dobro, Guitar, Banjo ,Violin, Mandolin and Violin. That multi-instrumentalist guy is on a totally different level.

[@SteveHanesFiddleMusic]

Yep ... A very talented couple.

[@danieloconnell9475]

Flawless - amazing.

[@gopeace4797]

Simply amazing.

[@jsv438]

Wow, excellent. We know she's a great player but she always has this wonderful presence and energy projected when she plays. It's really a combination that makes her so unique and entertaining. WTG Sierra! ~JSV

[@wingnut5TY]

Sierra never disappoints! Fantastic!

[@thunorwodenson]

Shes amazing.

[@arkadyrenko8684]

No dull moments!

[@pilippepine3299]

Wowww...speechless

[@musiclover9361]

I just saw her playing live a couple of days ago. Absolutely brilliant!

[@roycereed1670]

That is a very gifted young lady!

[@Soloist1983]

That octave mandolin looks and sounds fantastic, I wish I could find an F style octave mando that didn't cost as much as my truck, but, that being said, SHE IS FANTASTIC and I LOVE this performance, all the players are quite talented, thanks for posting :)

[@thestcroixkid]

there is a Feeling f style octave on ebay right now for $1500 bucks, but im not sure how shitty your truck is...lol...buy it before i do!

[@mojorisen7812]

That was outstanding. Effortless. Well done.

[@Singlpilot]

You guys are all, very focused and skilled....Outstanding performance..

[@rickcurtis2983]

Everytime I watch this I'm amazed and so happy it's on YT...thank you!!😊

[@Niven42]

I got chills!

[@WeirdMedicine]

effortless...makes it look like magic

[@Camshron48]

Got to be one of my favorites. No one dose it better.

[@heliopijpe]

Beautiful!

[@outlawliteratureart1887]

I'm just learning the Mandolin & this is the coup de gra of everything I've seen Totally mind blown Beautiful

[@TheHellion247]

Well April.... I did go listen to more of Sierra's work and I'm dazzled. What a natural! I'm a believer.

[@Y0d3lingy3ti]

Banjo and mandolin, my two favorite instruments

[@JongleurJ10]

First time I've checked out Sierra Hull. I like! Will be back for more

[@deweybowser796]

Wow ,, Just Wow .. How feel be able to do, what million people wish they could do ??? Great playing

[@scottnix4991]

That's some mighty fine picking right there, I tell you what.

[@cliftonreedjr6073]

Incredible!

[@harmenopoulos]

The best thing I've ever heard in my life :)

[@ironbru24]

So good!

[@Autumnmc3]

Thanks for sharing this video with me! Awesome! I had to subscribe of course :-)

[@mihaiboata1520]

shes the new kid in town... amazing Sierra!

[@MilesBellas]

This is very popular in the region : playing guitars etc.... really well! She grew up playing the Mandolin I read. . Another good video is "Bert Jansch and Martin Jenkins - Bittern". . Martin plays the Mandocello. Bittern is a bird, FYI.

[@TheHellion247]

Wow! An actual Musician..... what a woman!

[@OtisCult]

No. Words.

[@sassyguitars]

Love the playing and the tone, better than mandolin for my ears.

[@florianwolf9380]

Bloody oath - she is REALLY good 😊!!!

[@michaelbresciani9428]

Amazing

[@charlesjohnson-cj1or]

Holy Sh*t 5, 6 and eight string masters. Does it come any better? I don't think so. We are blessed.

[@georgemcfatter3156]

AMEN!!!!!

[@Colosphonium]

that version is uptempo to hell and will be hard to be match.. great job. come back and back again and again... my classical composer background is both amaze an thankfull.

[@TheHirade]

she is great :) got a new fan

[@SteveHanesFiddleMusic]

Thanks :).

[@daviddavenport6896]

She’s got the “it” factor. Needs more recognition!!!

[@jamesmandolin]

Erk alors, back to the drawing board for me.. She is AMAZING! Wish more people played this wonderful instrument over here - it's bouzoukis and tenor banjos here.. I'm sticking to my octave mando though, it's brighter, more flexible and I love it

[@walterearly55]

She's the king of them all!

[@TheHellion247]

Played in a minor key, the Octave Mandolin has the most haunting range and tone. I gotta go now and look at her other stuff. I wonder if she ever looks and down at her own fingers in wonder?

[@simonjones5817]

Great player, great instrument. I wish I had 1% of her skill and talent

[@simonjones5817]

Great player, great instrument. I wish I had 1% of her skill and talent

[@Temptresstoo]

+Alvin Chorder guessing you did just that, any additional thoughts? I've been a fan since her first album when she was 15. :D

[@TheHellion247]

No sir... It NOT a mandola. A mandola is only slightly larger than a mandolin. If you look at the caption of the video you will see clearly stated by the author... OCTAVE MANDOLIN.

[@digitalis7]

Octave mandolin is an American term for an Octave mandola. Tuned GDAE (usually!).

[@norriehunter7436]

what a talented band when are they coming over to Scotland?

[@briane.paulson]

My favorite person

[@everettskubinna4240]

and the guitar!

[@johnsmith-sv1vr]

She's the best on the planet!

[@guitartec]

I have been trying to find the name of the guitar player. Love that he breaks all the rules and plays an inexpensive old Yamaha acoustic and it sounds every bit as good as any high-end boutique guitar. Guy's a monster BG player

[@Tom-zy6ke]

I'm with you mate, I think it's Jake Stargel.

[@Soloist1983]

Arizona? Damn, I would have loved to have seen it, I live in Flagstaff, how did I miss this :(

[@SteveHanesFiddleMusic]

She can Rock that Mandolin can't she !! Thanks for the compliment.

[@colinlamont5040]

That ther is the best tone of any gosh dangdest mando chopper I seen in these here mountains since Bill Monroe's ghost showed up in the McBandy's barn in '82. Mhmmm. *spits tabbacy*

[@outlawliteratureart1887]

Music is magical, isn't it

[@ultimatebasses]

I have a Mendel OM that I love to noodle on. Seeing Sierra totally rock her Weber reaffirms I have a long long way to go. The scary part is she's up there on stage enjoying herself and not even breaking a sweat. Imagine Alison Krauss calling up Sierra and asking her to join the band on tour! Now that would be a treat. After all, they have played together on a previous occasion or two. Alison?

[@beyondthegong]

Shred clinic up in here!!

[@OtisCult]

Respect.

[@timchildress2048]

GO GIRL!

[@bleikrsound6127]

Nice perf on a The Loar mandolin.

[@robertchamberlin2072]

9 shredders got scared.

[@mattslavik8159]

Here's my complete review: She's wonderful. Full stop.

[@3340steve]

wow. awesome playing...wish she would play some Charlie Parker melodies.

[@occamrules]

Wow!

[@jacquesblaque7728]

There are some who like to pee and moan about how current music sucks. Then there are folks like Sierra. Incredible virtuoso, but not a show-off, It's not like Sierra just fell off the proverbial turnip truck, growing musically before our eyes since sixth grade. Such a down-to-earth, approachable person. Sierra really rocks.

[@octave6321]

I like your playing i am from India

[@ElwoodPDowd-qn7vn]

WOW!!!!!

[@popoaggie]

What a 3 year old would look like playing a standard size mandoln. Very cool.

[@fiddlewood9]

rockin"!

[@SteveHanesFiddleMusic]

Sure is! Thanks for the comments :)

[@sanggarmerahputih496]

👍❤️👍 fantastis

[@stevenroland7472]

Sierra has her own distinctive sound. I can't describe it but when you hear it you say. Yeah that's Sierra playing. Great musicians have that. Listen to Itzhak Perlman or Yo Yo Ma.

[@Tonetwisters]

Yeh. She can play. But whatta cutie!!

[@ballinpaul7157]

very good

[@SteveHanesFiddleMusic]

thanks for watching :).

[@fdcentrella0069]

Oh yeah!!!!

[@lektrikbass]

WOWZA! Her body undulations are reminiscent of David Grisman! All the group, GREAT pickers!

[@SteveHanesFiddleMusic]

thanks

[@ised-5239]

The octave mandolin on the above video is the baritone mando whereas the normal mandolin is the contralto ones.

[@Plafintarr]

Holy sh*t

[@SteveHanesFiddleMusic]

YEAH ..... she is great ! thanks :).

[@PrettyCoolFriend]

Dang....just dang....

[@DESQ59]

What a phenom performance and great sounding octave mandolin as well, Is it an Olson? Anyone happen to know what the scal length might be approx? Seems to be about 20 inches, but that's essentially a guess. This makes me want to procure an octave mando.....it also makes me want to practice more bu that's an ongoing feeling@!!

[@sexylover780]

She has some crazy skills on that MANDO.....................be cool to see her do a tune or two with Molly Tuttle.

[@alan4sure]

There are some on youtube, perhaps not very recent tho.

[@Coopdog1911]

I really want me one of these. Hear that Melissa? :) My birthday is coming up!

[@WhiteNacho]

I need to practice some more.

[@MikeontheMandolin]

Boom.
