Holy guacamole! Playing duets with Sam Bush at 10 years old -- no pressure or anything! Sierra, you were a fine, young lady and one heck of a musician even then. This was a great video clip and I'm happy to have found it. Thank you.
She has truly become a professional! The first time I saw this video, I was shocked from beginning to end, especially for her age. I love the way everyone's face lights up when she begins to play, especially Sam's face!
Amazing players. Sierra at ten years old is so professional and not nervous at all. Bush is a great musician and having her as an inspired fan must feel great. Glad she got into mandolin.
When I first saw this, I called my buddy and said I quit. He reminded me we’re old with responsibilities and work for a living and she’s young with a huge amount of time to dedicate herself to this trade. Besides some people have a natural ability for certain things. Either way they’re both pretty amazing. I met her once at a festival. She’s pretty chill.
Weird to pick this as my favorite part, but Sierra obviously anticipates the end lick stopping quicker than it does....and she still picks it up and never breaks time with her chop. Intuitive artistry and talent, even at that age.
Audie McGinnis I agree!!!! She seems to be a natural. However, I think I remember her talking about how much her family pored into her all along the way. The love of a solid family seems to have a massive impact in the magnitude of a child’s dreams. My favorite part is when she starts to play and Sam bush starts to smile, from ear to ear!
These are some of my favorite types of videos. Established musicians and front runners SHOULD give a bit of recognition and exposure to young talent. Everybody wins that way.
Wow, much better venue than the current stage they use there's actually room for some people and equipment. The Lyric theater that is now used ain't got enough room for five people lol. Kudos to a young Sierra Hull, she was on point with her playing and she held her own with one of the all time greats.👍
*Yes, it´s young Sierra Hull, the Princess of mandolin.! /at first I caught her sense of wit by shaking hands and then/ Masterfully mandolin playing. Thank so much for posting it !
She is pretty amazing. I’ve seen her back in her early days at Bluegrass festivals. I think I even have a picture of her and I. She’s really nice and truly amazing as an artist.
Quentin Fernandez There is some amazing talent out there! I listened to some of your videos, and got the idea you’re born again. Do you use your music or is it just for fun?
@@PossumJoesMando Hi Michael That was very welcome. Happy you liked my videos. You would have read my write-ups in a few of the videos posted about how I came about this talent and my interest in promoting myself. To be honest there is no scope in India for english music to develop. Hence I posted these tracks of mine on You tube, and even been trying to contact a few recording houses abroad and individuals musicians to make a break. I have uploaded a few but i have more than 130 tracks Country and Gospel and still counting......I do not believe in the worldly ways but in the Supernatural and being a very positive thinking person, Im sure I will one day get the opportunity to have my talent recognised. I had a good listen and enjoyed many of your great videos. Do keep in touch Michael. Can chat with me on 917829310277. Quentin From Bangalore India. bye and God Bless.
Lucky to have this vid on the tube as since the radio show switched to Time Warner Cable as a server somthing like 400 videos that were on the archive page have disappeared its been many months and they still are not viewable and I doubt they ever will be again.Damn shame really.
Wow, it has been awhile since I have had the time to checkout the archives. That sucks. On a positive side I now live close to Kentucky so I hope to attend a show live someday. I got written permission to post this video so youtube should leave it alone.
Interesting! I will say this, their may be plenty of fault that can be found in just about anything! However, a moment in time has been captured for all those interested to enjoy. Sierra Hull & Sam Bush sounded amazing! That is where it begins and ends for me. This video has generated some unique perspectives. I simply what to enjoy the music and share it with others.
I subscribed to your site, you have got some great stuff on there. I added most of the SH to my favorites. I have see her lots of times and gotten my photo with her. I have not had the opportunity to see SB but I have most of his stuff. I got written permission to post the video clip in question so it shouldn't be deleted. My comment was more aimed at some of the previous comments. But thanks for clarifying it.
robertro52 Wow, that sounded great. I don't normally connect with Michael's songs, but it was pretty cool the way they all came together. Thank you very much.
+Watchman4u No, that would be Sarah Jarosz on Prairie Home Companion. As a mandolinist, I'd extol her playing virtues even more, but my restraining order forbids me...
Shoot, I sat on Sam Bush's lap when I was six months old. 38 years later my mandolin skills are basically zero, Sierra was already a hotshot at ten. I think I did something wrong.
@@bluetoes591 It looks like I responded in the wrong field. Thanks. Like ChuckyT below, every now and then I get someone who is bitter and can't help themselves. He wrote more, but deleted it. Thank you.
I don't know much about the man, I do know he provides a great platform for musicians to share their music with the community. I've not had the opportunity to see a show live, but the archives are free and they include the entire show, which is better than the radio broadcast. I've not heard him use this program to propagate a political agenda. As for authenticity counts, the artists present a wide selection of genera. I'm a conservative, but even among this group, positions drastically vary from one extreme to the other. So changing him out for some "hill folk" won't please everyone. I posted this episode because I'm impressed with Sierra Hull's skill at such a young age, no more, no less. Enjoy The Music.
I didn't expect a response. But since I got one, I'll tell you what I think. I suppose I should just keep my peace and enjoy the show. Country music, and specifically bluegrass and gospel music is uniquely American. I am proud of my hillbilly heritage and I resent outsiders siphoning the money, but more importantly deciding who does and who does not get a platform. MJ is not country. He has written many songs and I'm sure works very hard, but that is not the point. He has no connection to the culture, and his motives are suspect. (songs suck too). I guess I'm just bitter, because I don't recognize the country I grew up in and I know who to blame!
It's called "context" and it adds a lot to the video and I'd argue it makes the performance more interesting. You can bookmark this video with a timestamp so it only plays the song, if that's really what you need.

Amazing! Sierra played better at 10 years old than I can after playing for over 25 years.
spitfirekid1 when I first saw this I jokingly told my buddy, I Quit! He reminded me we work for a living.

S Rowe I have seen her live a couple of times and had a couple meet and greets. She is pretty amazing.
Now I love and adore Sierra Hull even more!! ❤🤩❤🤩❤🤩🙏🏼
I haven't watched this video for a few years, but it was an absolute joy to watch it again just now. Tears in my eyes.
Love the Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour! Even saw an episode live. Balsam Range and Sonny Moorman. It was great.
7:08 I like how she passes the lead back to Sam with that that little side look, like a real pro.
She has truly become a professional! The first time I saw this video, I was shocked from beginning to end, especially for her age. I love the way everyone's face lights up when she begins to play, especially Sam's face!
And she certainly not disappointed!!!
Wow great to see this I watch woodsongs on rfd and love it Thank you Micheal for a great show and a great look into the past

It’s hard to believe I first saw Sierra Hull over 10 years ago. She has grown into fine young lady performer

That was awesome! I am studying mandolin with her now. She's a great teacher.
You're a very lucky person! Don't let this window pass, without taking full advantage of this amazing opportunity. It's a once and life time deal.
@@PossumJoesMando Yeah, she's awesome. All my teachers are tops on their instruments. I am a student on ArtistWorks.

@@PossumJoesMando I came across Siera´s current playing with Sam only yesterday, and I´m a big fan of their beautiful music, and Thank you !
This is why I love music. Great video. Watch a lot of Sierra Hull performances. Stay safe. Andy, UK
Always love listening to both of these talents. Whenever I see these older vids of Sierra though it just floors me.
A Canadian fan.
Magical things often happen on this show.... just like that.
Goodness me, it's right there at ten years old! She is now likely the foremost Bluegrass Mandolin player in the world.
Yep, isn't that amazing.... and totally adorable!
She is absolutely a candidate for foremost in the world. Top tier at the very least.
And also a phenomenal guitar player
In my honest opinion this little girl grew up to be the best mandolin picker on planet Earth.
She is pretty amazing. I’ve seen her back in her early days at Bluegrass festivals. I think I even have a picture of her and I. She’s really nice and truly amazing as an artist.
i get happy every time i watch this. bluegrass is in safe hands - yeah
Something incredible. Just came across these two playing some awesome stuff. Subbed

I lived in Lexington KY when I was a kid, I thought it was a beautiful place to grow up but I didn't get to, my mom and dad did alot of moving around.
I visited KY and I agree it was very beautiful. It is on my to do list to watch a live show.
@@PossumJoesMando where would you like to watch the live show at?
Sherlen Spanky Horn Woodsongs old time radio hour
@@PossumJoesMando Oh ok that sounds good to me.
Priceless...
oh my god.... awesome.. !
Zabardast.... cheers from Toronto!!!
Both favorites of mine.
That is cool, to find out she is loved or for that mater that bluegrass is loved so far away!
Bluegrass is loved all over the world, wherever people play music for the love of it. Sierra is exceptional and she has loving fans everywhere.

woodsongs archives are back on the webiste. the first few hundred are in audio only.
check out #178, sierra hull first radio appearance.
#178 is awesome! I just got done listening to it! Thank you so much for letting me know, it really completes the video above!
Michael Cormican Michael Comedian, If you think #178 is good, you've got to
hear #210, sierra"s third appearance as a 10 year old, it rocks!
robertro52 Wow, that sounded great. I don't normally connect with Michael's songs, but it was pretty cool the way they all came together. Thank you very much.
Like Sam said, "Sierra is kicking the Good Ole Boys in the world of mandolin right in the A.
No doubt
Music starts at 6:02
The best part is before that tho
That's funny, I didn't notice! By the way, your an amazing musician.
I tough i was getting it and not that bad. I was wrong. Tres jolie.
... and Thank You to Sam Bush for reiterating Sierra's name...
Yeah,I love seeing g this, Not my jam but, wow they r awesome!🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙 vote for freedom, Harris/Walz 2024
i am subscriber 321!!!!
@capebeale Very True. I check out your web site but I don't see any videos you playing.
Wow👏👏👏😊
Couldn't have said it better myself!
i think alison krauss is quite a bit like that
She has a "Big Heart"!!.
Can anyone help me with a newer female Mandolin Player that I heard on NPR a few days ago. Thx. Man that Little girl Nailed them Octaves. WOW
How can I help?
Michael Cormican I need her name. I'd like to listen again to that performance.
+Watchman4u I don't know how I could begin to help you with that. Just not enough information.
+Watchman4u SierraHull is her name.
+Watchman4u
No, that would be Sarah Jarosz on Prairie Home Companion. As a mandolinist, I'd extol her playing virtues even more, but my restraining order forbids me...
What is this first song which is sometimes played in woodsongs show? Anyone knows?
It sounded like My Old Kentucky Home
Shoot, I sat on Sam Bush's lap when I was six months old. 38 years later my mandolin skills are basically zero, Sierra was already a hotshot at ten. I think I did something wrong.
That was funny, some people are a natural!
@@PossumJoesMando I also haven't tried very hard.
bluetoes591 I go in spirts. But it has been almost 2 years since I played. So I feel your pain
Michael C. If you think #178 is good, listen to #210 sierra"s third appearance
as a 10 year old, the best of all three I think.
None of my videos have advertisements so what is your problem?
I couldn't have said it better myself!
Why do so many people dislike this?
The opening credits are wrong. There's no way this is video is from 2011. Sierra was born in 1991. This has to be from 2001-2002 era.
@@J.B24 the video is not from 2011. But that is what I was told to paste for legal purposes when I got permission from the show.
@@PossumJoesMando lol.....And thats why I chose not to pursue a law career. I prefer to tell the truth. lolol
Was there ever a time Sierra couldn't play the mandolin? How far back do you need to go? Was she already winning competitions as a fetus?
@@PossumJoesMando Did you read the comments you responded to? Sure seems like a positive comment, not a negative one to me.
@@bluetoes591 It looks like I responded in the wrong field. Thanks. Like ChuckyT below, every now and then I get someone who is bitter and can't help themselves. He wrote more, but deleted it. Thank you.
Sorry about previous reply, intended for a different comment. It was just brought to my attention.
Skip until 6 minutes down the line!!
Umm, I NEED this rendition of Tennessee Wagoner... I used to have the wmv and like a big dummy deleted it... I NEED IT.

lol at the moonshine ad.
I believe Michael Jonathon would be more at home in NYC if you know what I mean. Cain't they find any hill folk to do this show? Authenticity counts.

Go crawl back under your rock.
THIS GUY. Stealing Sierra-time. Tsssk.
Too many words!
Too much talkin, not enough Hull
Sierra is so much better than poor old Sam.
Even at 9.
The whole first 6 minutes was a wast of my time.. but she is as awesome as Sam is!
What a long load of dross for a few minutes of music, needs a serious edit
