So fantastic. They met when she was just 9 yrs old - and he became one of her mentors. Now she's all grown up and married and everything - and they share stages together. What i love about every genre of Roots music (Folk, Bluegrass, Country, etc.) - the way the older folks reach a hand back to the youngsters - and bring them along - up into the community. It's a joy to see their delight in - and regard & affection for - each other.

Nobody’s more connected than the bluegrass family

[@drltcrw]

It is Americana music cultural tradition Once you get ‘good’ you start playing with young players to stay up to date and in the movement. Gordon Lightfoot Neil Young Alison Krauss Marty Robbins on the BIG stage at early youth and so on all these veterans spend their careers striving to play with the youngest yet most talented around. Us morals play 30 years or more to start to get as good a Sierra or Sam at birth..

[@someoneelse1534]

It's nice to see that they each have their own distinct style and whimsy, despite their influence on one another

[@wandamundy1759]

@@drltcrw I think maybe Marty Stewart (guitarist and mandolinist for Bluegrass bands when he was really young) - not so much Marty Robbins. Both Lightfoot and Neil Young were pure Canadiana - and that was especially reflected in the imagery of Lightfoot's lyrics - as he went off on canoe journeys throughout the Northern part of Canada all his life. Neil Young was born in Toronto - but grew up in Winnipeg - the R&R "capital" of Canada in the 1970s. And his music reflects that whole scene. I grew up in a logging camp on Vancouver Island - and my brother and I both became professional musicians in the 1960s. And we learned from our elders - my Dad had his own band that he played in - as well as the family band. That kind of musical legacy is hard to beat.

And she's now so good, she sometimes gives Sam Bush a schooling!

[@russscully4992]

This is a classic performance by such a talented bunch.

[@Gman1044]

I'm still astonished how Sam can hit individual strings when it appears that hes just thrashing away. So cool

[@Uriel-Septim.]

As a European I am envious of that culture.

[@dlagrua]

Folks this is great stuff. Sam Bush, the father of progressive mandolin bluegrass joins Sierra and some of Nashville's young great musicians here. Must say at age 71 Sam is still high energy hasn't lost a beat and can still play up a storm.

[@4uRicki]

Not only splendid playing but superb sound. Whoever is responsible for this should be giving seminars to sound men and musicians alike. Unfortunately it’s rare to hear sound this outstanding.

[@PleaseNoMoreFarmhouseDecor]

Sierra is the queen of elegant arpeggios.

[@SophisticatedBob]

Her picking is so clean...crazy clean. Wow. She's amazing.

[@neilgendzwill3260]

I don't think anybody else gets such a clean tone even at warp speed.

Sam's percussive approach to the mandolin is so bad ass.

[@kurtaschermann8332]

Sierra Hull kicks ass

[@NSResponder]

Bluegrass music is thriving! What a brilliant peformance.

[@jimb2427]

Damn that was good. Blown away by Sierra Hull's tone and attack, and the way she leads her band.

[@jonnya3425]

Sierra is so good. Perfect tone, huge chops.

[@davidharman4078]

That guitar solo was bordering on double plus good.

[@VesaGuardian]

Tony Rice level, nothing short of that by any means. Lovely to hear.

[@griffini19]

Bravo to the audio engineer too!! Great job. And obviously the musicians are killin it

[@drwufongsho446]

I clicked on this link with high expectations and was still blown away by how talented everyone on stage is!

[@DanPurdy1]

Great music by all. Those two are just about our greatest mandolin players. Sam has been great for a long time. Sierra has come into it.

[@BlackheartCharlie]

OMG! Channeling musical energy from the Universe - it just flows from their Core out through their fingers and to our hearts! I am so inspired! ... and I am just trying to pick out the melody, note by note, on my mandolin and I'm having to think my way through it... I will keep practicing, hoping to reach a point some day when I'm not "thinking" music consciously, but I'm letting it flow through me like these amazing musicians. :-)

[@joeditta2321]

Tear it up, Sierra and Sam! Wowza.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Damn, first time I have seen or heard this guitar player, he kicked some major ass! Who is it?

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

Nope it doesn't get old. I could listen to the legend play with the NEW legend all day.

[@straycatannie5868]

The mandolin is a very underrated instrument, and I've never seen it played any better than by these two virtuoso's!!!

[@leemcfall4344]

Check out Adam Steffey too. He virtuosity is subtle. Played with Alison in Union Station for years

[@rockinredneck57]

Go back in time and watch Jethro Burns. What he played with Homer and Jethro was jazz and not bluegrass. I'd add Tiny Moore and Johnny Gimble as well. Both played with Bob Wills.

[@tombarnhart7673]

Avery Merritt's beard looks so good! Sierra, anytime you jam with Sam, it can't get much better is right!

[@smithsmith6098]

Duelling instruments is what i call this....awesome

[@billanthony1426]

Once again , Thanks

[@timothycollins3829]

The way they relate says everything you ever need to know about bluegrass,

Monster guitar break here too 2:58

Everything about this is wonderful.

[@kinerskorner1]

I was there and it was so good!!!

[@yukiotakahashi6632]

Sam howls, Sierra roars😍

[@johnvenditto2908]

Sierra's 'solo face' reminds me of Billy Strings', sheer expressions of joy!

Brutal playing! 💪

Sensational.

[@Dloomis494]

Really great framing on the video, Pieman.

[@sbc_4738]

Hopefully they did "Leather Britches" ;)

[@jefferp]

Sam’s mandolin looks like it might be on the way to his version of Willie’s Trigger.

[@ezwriter654]

First heard Sam Bush around 1983. 40 years on he still plays with the same joy as back then. Don't know what vitamins he takes? 😉

[@leemcfall4344]

He takes the bluegrass pill

[@johnlarkin8226]

Amazing playing! There are no better players than these. And for trying to follow what she's playing, the red nail polish makes it lots easier to see where her finger tips are.

[@lamasteve6905]

Shaun Richardson, the guitarist for her band. Yes he is really great

[@hunterellis7785]

Not shuritos…

I'm a big sam Bush fan. He's fantastic, but the student has surpassed the teacher.
