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!
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.
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 (ruclips.net/video/qrIepcMALCI/видео.html) and here with western Jazz collegues ruclips.net/video/VA7Mzo73cd4/видео.html
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
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!!
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 :)
+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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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@!!
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
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?
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.
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*
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?
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.
Really like the octave mandolin. Never heard of it til one came up on used site. It’s a gold tone. It seems decent, maybe I’ll get it...what tuning did she use?
Is that Daryl Anger's Gilchrist octave mandolin ("The Mandola") that was used on the "Duo" project back in the early 80's? It is a great ax whoever built it.
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.
She can't, yet, be compared to Thile in overall musical mastery of the instrument. But I don't think that anyone, including Thile, can beat SH when it comes to smooth, fast legato. Each note is separate clear as a bell without being staccato. Amazing.
+oldwest517 Its not a fair comparison. Hes playing a mandolin and shes playing an octave. Shes got a lot more room to play with to hit those frets just right. Thile is in a league of his own. If there is ever another mando player that reaches his level that person is currently a child or hasnt yet been born. Dont look to adult players to ever catch up to Thile. The older you get you lose energy and dexterity.
@@thunorwodenson I actually like Hull's playing better than Thile. There is no doubt that he has an absolute mastery of the instrument, I just think that (1) she does also, and (2) there is much more feeling in her playing, much more 'statement', much more that she's saying something with the music and not just showing that she can play many notes quickly. Of course we all have our favorites, but your contention that she isn't in the same class as Thile just sounds like prejudice.
Sierra, as a music lover, I want to hear ALL your songs. As a musician, I want to learn your smooth expertise. As a man, I want to kiss your pretty smile. As RUclipsr, I want to watch all your videos!

She is one of the cleanest players of any stringed instrument I have ever heard. Just astonishing talent and ability.
Her touch is absolutely exquisite - she is an astounding, my favourite mandoplayer
Very good indeed
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
Virtuoso, incredibly gifted musician.
Damn, she's my goddess! incredible talent, incredible voice! I absolutely love her!

Everytime I watch this I'm amazed and so happy it's on YT...thank you!!😊
Fantastic musicianship!!❤
Uno bellissimo stile pieno di radici blues celtico country bluegrass blues ! Unica ❤
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.
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.
@@Pete-z6e and she is not playing a mandolin. Looks more like a mandala to me.
@@jjmuni It's an octave mandolin as mentioned in the description.

@@heliopijpeMandolin champion according to whom?
She has that magical IT that I cannot put IT into words but I know IT when I hear IT. My Goodnees!
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!

I saw her live recently and it was fantastic, but this performance is unbelievable.
Quite simply the BEST then and now. 🙂
Her playing is hypnotic. So quick and clean.
LOVE this woman!!!! She just KILLS it every time. Amazing talent!
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!!
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..
No...but but bouzouki players abound!!
I have watched this over and over again the last few months and I absolutely love it.
Thanks .. I knew when I was shooting the video that it was gonna be a very special performance .. and indeed it is .. 😎😍
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
And she sings amazingly well. A monopoly on talent.
*The mandolin goddess plays with her whole body. Especially with bold and skilled fingers, then such beautiful music is created. Great the other too.
my new favorite artists i didnt know existed a month ago wow.
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 :)
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!
Well April.... I did go listen to more of Sierra's work and I'm dazzled. What a natural! I'm a believer.
I just saw her playing live a couple of days ago. Absolutely brilliant!
Now I remember why I LOVED Bluegrass back in the 70s!!!
+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

Totally mind blown
Beautiful
You guys are all, very focused and skilled....Outstanding performance..
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.
Good writing. Poetic. Describes Sierra nicely.
I like what you say, very poetic!
That is a very gifted young lady!
That was outstanding. Effortless. Well done.

Wow ,, Just Wow .. How feel be able to do, what million people wish they could do ??? Great playing
That's some mighty fine picking right there, I tell you what.
Sierra never disappoints! Fantastic!
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
I'm with you mate, I think it's Jake Stargel.
Got to be one of my favorites. No one dose it better.
Jaw hits the floor.
No better response: just jaw dropping.
First time I've checked out Sierra Hull. I like! Will be back for more
She's the king of them all!
Simply amazing.

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

Great player, great instrument. I wish I had 1% of her skill and talent
Great player, great instrument. I wish I had 1% of her skill and talent
+Alvin Chorder guessing you did just that, any additional thoughts? I've been a fan since her first album when she was 15. :D
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.
Octave mandolin is an American term for an Octave mandola. Tuned GDAE (usually!).
wow. awesome playing...wish she would play some Charlie Parker melodies.
what a talented band when are they coming over to Scotland?
No dull moments!
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*
effortless...makes it look like magic
Shes amazing.
shes the new kid in town... amazing Sierra!
Banjo and mandolin, my two favorite instruments
Flawless - amazing.
She's the best on the planet!
I got chills!
Thanks for sharing this video with me! Awesome! I had to subscribe of course :-)
She’s got the “it” factor. Needs more recognition!!!
she is great :) got a new fan
Thanks :).
Beautiful!
The octave mandolin on the above video is the baritone mando whereas the normal mandolin is the contralto ones.

Arizona? Damn, I would have loved to have seen it, I live in Flagstaff, how did I miss this :(
The best thing I've ever heard in my life :)
Shred clinic up in here!!
Love the playing and the tone, better than mandolin for my ears.
Nice perf on a The Loar mandolin.

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.
What a 3 year old would look like playing a standard size mandoln. Very cool.
No. Words.
We all love Sierra, but it'd be nice if you'd list the rest of the band in the header.
Here's my complete review: She's wonderful. Full stop.
Really like the octave mandolin. Never heard of it til one came up on used site. It’s a gold tone. It seems decent, maybe I’ll get it...what tuning did she use?
Incredible!
and the guitar!
Music is magical, isn't it
9 shredders got scared.
Bloody oath - she is REALLY good 😊!!!
So good!
Is that Daryl Anger's Gilchrist octave mandolin ("The Mandola") that was used on the "Duo" project back in the early 80's? It is a great ax whoever built it.
Shelley Heard No, it's a Weber octave mandolin.
Thanks Connor; I read about her two Weber octaves recently. Weber impresses me more and more these days.
My favorite person
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.
I really want me one of these. Hear that Melissa? :) My birthday is coming up!
I like your playing i am from India
Amazing
Sierra is so brilliant! Anyone know the name of the guitar player? Shredding solo!!!
On an old, inexpensive Yamaha guitar, too. I had few Yamaha FG 180s in the 1970s and 80s. Nice, light resonant guitars. That guitar guy is something.
Impressive pickin'! Idle thought-wonder if this could be played on border pipes or small pipes ;)
Yes, but not well😁

I need to practice some more.
