CBS has been showcasing some really incredible non-mainstream talent lately - especially Country/Blues/Americana/Blue Grass. Billy Strings, Charlie Crockett, Gary Clark Jr., to name a few. Much respect to a big network using their power and reach to give these artists the spotlight.
I hear people complain all the time that modern music sucks. I don't think those people are trying too hard because there are so many incredible artists right now if you look. I'm really enjoying Sierra's music.
@@tkreitler They just don't know where to look. The trick is to go down the RUclips rabbit hole and hope the algorithm does you right. But if they like Sierra and want more of this type of Western/Country they should be watching the Western AF and Gems In The Rough channels.
I was friends with friends of hers. I remember her playing music on my sister’s front porch in Arkansas with some of my cousins. She had a beer in her hand, a guitar in her lap, wearing a baggy T shirt, cut off jeans & she was barefooted. They’d pass around a joint, take a swig of beer & play the best front porch down home music I ever heard. She has come so far from the girl on my sister’s porch. I am so proud to know her back when it started. You go gal.
Many ppl have ran into her, look at her travels, she was a gypsy, a troubadour, and I did it back in the day, you meet so many ppl it's a blur, especially all the jams with strangers, each place you have your core ppl, but you don't stay long or grow roots, that's the point
@@shable1436 I didn’t just run into her,she lived here, I knew her, she was my sister’s room mate for 4 1/2 months, that’s not gypsy. I’m a musician too, I play in a touring band, we play about 200 or so gigs a year, that does NOT mean we don’t have roots or close friends we see & visit. sure you meet lots of different people, but she KNEW us. The front porch thing wasn’t a jam with strangers, we played most every night after dinner; no she didn’t stay long, only 4 1/2 months. She doesn’t grow roots?? Well, she calls my sister 2 or 3 times a month, is that roots enough for ya? Ya intellectual snob?
Sierra is a sweet girl. She was on my front porch when she was 17 (she and my daughter were friends) and it was snowing and she was swinging in the snow. I went outside and talked to her and convinced her to come inside. My daughter is a Type I Diabetic and Sierra used to carry her books to class for her. She deserves all the good things in this world as she's not only super talented but she's genuinely kind and compassionate!! Very proud of her!!
Brings a tear to my eye . My son was her age and a musician until he died of a fentanyl overdose . Hers is a story of survival and gratitude . Bless you for sharing
Sierra Ferrell is the closest natural talent to Hank Williams that I've ever seen. I'm from Nashville and I've seen a lot of pretenders to that throne. Her talent is undeniable, she is one hell of a songwriter.
My three favorite singer-songwriter of all time in chronological order are: Hank Williams Sr., Amy Winehouse, and Sierra Ferrell. These three wrote from the heart, had undoubted sincerity, and voices that were flawless. Crazy how good they are. I met Sierra, gave her a gift she wanted, and she signed my guitar. Sweetie pie!!
Her story about death and coming back is what a really needed to hear. Glad this network doesn’t filter out real life things like struggling with addiction and fearing death
@@bunnyban5365 Then you obviously don't know anything about the origins of country music. It started off as Irish/ Scottish Folk mixed with Delta Blues. It is nothing like the Trash that they try to pass off as country music today. Sierra Ferrell's style is a throwback to the original Grand Ole Opry.
Sierra is a remarkable talent! Seeing her live is a genuine experience. You will laugh, you will cry, you will never forget it. And if you get to meet her, she’s a sweetheart. So happy to see her star rise higher and higher. She deserves everything she has worked so hard for.
She is certainly the new queen, she's paid her dues in full, and then some, she needs to be careful about fame though, that's when things get crazy, and she could possibly start using again because of the stress. Lots of snakes with fame, and she sounds like she has gotten a handle on it, and checking her ego, but it's a sneaky disease.
@@shable1436Let’s hope she has good people around her to keep her strong. She’s special with a huge gift to share. She appears to be handling it ok, maturity, therapy and healing.
Dear God, please protect Miss Sierra, please surround her with people who will protect, care, & strengthen her. Keep her & her sweet heart in your care, give her the power to resist evil-and be empowered & blessed by the beauty & joy of the world. Amen
She is just the sweetest human. She plays at a music festival near me every year. My 18 year old son goes to a young musicians academy they have there. One late night, she and some of the other performers were down by the river nearby, and my son happened to be there. She found out that he was in the academy, grabbed a guitar, sat down by the water with him and jammed with him for an hour. She gave my son this special moment, and I'm not even certain she has any clue she did, because she is so down to earth and doesn't see herself as this famous person like everyone else does. She just thought it was cool that he was that into music and just wanted to play some with him. You go to that festival you'll hear so many Sierra Ferrell stories of her just being fun and awesome blending in with the festival goers when she's not performing.
For the last ten years, as I've curated playlists, I've heard and seen Sierra, other buskers, oddball bands, and obscure artists on what I call 'low rent" RUclips videos, and it brings me happy teardrops to see one of these artists come up from the streets, literally. This is an excellent, accurate report with emotion built right in! Well deserved "congratulations" Sierra!
"It's usually the people who have less that give you something. Because they know what it's like." My experience exactly. It's so nice that she's finally getting the media attention she deserves. I just hope her meteoric rise to fame doesn't burn her out. She's too precious and important for that. Bless you Sierra!
I don't know. I was very disappointed when I saw her. She asked a cheering crowd to keep quiet multiple times during a set. Just people traveling from around to see her and cheering her on. Nothing out of the ordinary.
@@MikeR90679When you tour enough, there's going to be those nights. My experience at her show was incredible. Even the staff stopped what they were doing during the "West Virginia Waltz." You could hear a pin drop.
Sierra Ferrell caught my attention the first time hearing her a few years ago. Molly Tuttle & Bill Strings are two other fav's of mine. These talented musicians don't need a stage full of dancers, large bands, smoke, fire & crazy lights to put on a great show. Appreciate what they do. 🎸🎸🎸
What a beautiful mini-bio tribute to my favorite, Sierra Ferrell! ❤ I've been following her career since 2019 and just KNEW she was a rising star. I am so happy for her, and all her success. I was lucky to see (and meet) her twice. She's sweet and very down to earth.
Like most folks I discovered Sierra on this very platform and there was immediately this indescribable "something" about her that was genuinely overwhelming in the best way, an astounding combination of having a sound that feels like it's always been around while also being new and completely her own. Thanks for this!
Well said. In fact, some of her songs are so good, and have that classic country sound that I assume they're old timey standards. But nope, she wrote them.
Yeah, In dreams live on Gems on VHS back in 2018 was the first time I heard her. Good thing for youtube. With out youtube the only music I would know about is what was played on the radio, which is not much.
I saw Sierra in Omaha a few weeks back for the first time. It won't be my last. My uncle and my cousin took me. The banjo behind her couch in this video was my Grandpa's. My uncle gifted it to her last year when she came to Omaha. Her talent has no limits! I'm looking forward to the next time i get to see her perform live.
I saw Sierra 2 days in a row in Des Moines Iowa and Omaha Nebraska... I traveled a total of about 15 hours over 2 days to see her. Absolutely incredible live performer.
Same. Which means everyone in the house gets to enjoy Sierra. So glad you got to see her live. Unfortunately I missed out at a festival a few years ago. Now? Tix were sold out real quick. Trying to get one the old fashioned scalpers way. We're fortunate to have Sierra in our homes. When I'm making supper four generations are singing along. Keep raising the vibe. 🕉 ☮
@@kimberlydeeney5652 have been lucky enough to win tickets. One good thing about being a stay at home dog mom. My TV plays music more than television. Outside of Nashville proper, but the local radio stations you can win every 30 days. Im not greedy. Only try a few times a year. I may have watched every video of hers that exists online. Hope you get to enjoy her live!
I discovered her for myself after she appeared on Zach Bryan's self-titled album late last year. I looked her up on youtube and then disappeared down a rabbit-hole litening to her music for days it seemed like. She is super talented and has a unique voice that she has infinite control over. She is my favorite female indie-country artist at this point, and am anxious to see her live someday. YOU GO SIERRA!!!!
The algorithms lead me to her one night here on youtube and I spent hours watching and being amazed. Then I found out she grew up near where I grew up and actually saw her when she played with a local band, 6 Hundreds Pounds of Sin at Live on the Levee, a local concert series. Her Molly Tuttle, Billy Strings, Sierra Hull and others are making fantastic music. And, Allison Russel and Rhiannon Giddens.
Well looky, looky! Glad to see our favorite ruby red voiced gypsy getting some attention on this level. So glad I had a chance to see her in small venues because I have a feeling those days are gone. But great days are ahead! Congrats to this one of a kind treasure who seems to have fallen right out of an old painting.
She's also pretty heavy on the festival circuit....i think you get some pretty good bang for the buck at festivals... Blue Ox 2024 is a prime example...very loaded lineup this year...
@@CorneiliusLibowitz I always feel like I need a stunt double at music festivals. Always so much good music, but short sets. I never want to miss anything but it's hard being up and everywhere I want to be for 48 hours or so.
@@bryanharrell4059. Yeah that’s why smaller festivals are better. Huge festivals like Lolla and Bonnerroo are way too overwhelming and have too many stages going at once. Went to Hoxeyville last summer and it was great. Got to see Molly Tuttle and Sierra hull close up.
Sierra is an amazing performer. I saw her at Telluride Bluegrass in 2023...she played during the day, far from the headlining acts and brought the house down with people running across the ropes and rushing the stage, dancing and loving life with her music as the background. That's what her shows do to people. This year she has her rightful spot as a headliner at night. She deserves all the delayed attention she's getting now!
@@ladesigner8764 Went to Hoxeyville last summer and i was so glad Molly Tuttle and Sierra Hull were not the headliners....they played their sets on different days, during the day, when the weather was perfect.
Thank you Anthony and CBS. I began listening to her here, on RUclips, about 3 years ago and wondered why she wasn't a bigger star. I am so happy for her. So so so deserving.
@@bunnyban5365 @markb7340 She's the type of country that, for the most part, has been long lost on country radio. She's country. If you don't recognize it as that, then your understanding of country music is limited. Country, like other genres, has many variations. She's part of the best country has to offer.
I have been huge fan ever since I came across RUclips and GemsonVHS videos almost 7 years ago. I have seen Sierra and her band 4 times so far, they were fantastic shows. One of those artists that sounds even better in person.
Sierra Ferrell is something special. She is on my playlist and in my likes. I've been listening to her for years. I love her voice, personality and her story. Keep it up Sierra were rooting for you!!!
I've been watching her for years. I knew the first time I heard her she was destined for stardom. She has the talent, the charisma, the ability to be one of the biggest stars ever.
She is simply the most interesting artist I've heard in years, and I'm not especially a big country music fan. Her songs just speak to me. Her best song (in my humble opinion) is called "The Sea," which is a magnificent sort of a jazz-ish type of tune.
Sierra is amazing.. been spreading the word in Scotland.. she's really something special.. watch her live performances on RUclips it's all brilliant ❤❤❤
I saw Sierra at a free music and art festival in Edinboro , Pa. My friend Fred Parker who runs the festival put the musicians up in cabins on a lake near the festival sit. I had the luck to be staying there… She came outside and sang with some other musicians.. but where she began to sing by herself you could hear a pin drop. I still get chills when I see her live…and when I met her that weekend.., I told her ‘buckle up girl you are destined to be famous!’ Never more well deserved she has paid her dues and her talent is mind blowing and unique !!!! So happy for you Sierra!!!!!🥰💜
thanks CBS for featuring these TALENTED amazing young musicians showing us the way out of the culture they are born into. The opioid crisis, anxiety, depression and bad situations. Don't let anyone tell you how selfish young people ar.e look what they have been handed! GO kiddos! WE LOVE YOU!
Great piece. Her rise has been stunning, from a sellout last year at the Fillmore in San Francisco, to this month selling out The (much larger) Warfield Theater in San Francisco.
One clip they showed of her busking on the street was from Asheville, NC - but they had a dot on the map and the voice over saying "Chicago". Asheville is/was a noted stop for buskers and train hoppers. Abby the Spoon Lady also started here.
@@DustyLeeSledge Ive been busking here on and off for 10 years. It helped foster artists like her and you can make some quick cash when you need it as a musician.They don't hassle you. There was debate amongst the city council/etc. but its legal with some restrictions.
I was lucky to be in the audience at the Orange Peel in AVL way back in January of 2013 (or 2014?). It was a Todd Snider concert. Todd told a story about meeting a group of kids outside an earlier venue he was about to do a show at...in either Virginia or West Virginia, I think. One of the kids was a girl carrying a guitar. He asked her if she could sing - and she played him one of her songs. Todd Snider liked it so much he asked her if she'd like to join him down in Asheville. If so, he'd let her sing that song in the middle of his set at the Orange Peel. And she did. She was great. The crowd loved her. I believe it was Sierra Ferrell's first time playing on stage for a large crowd. I'm very happy to see her doing so well all these years later.
I heard Sierra's voice years ago from another room at an American Legion in Nashville and I immediately stopped what I was doing and made my way to the listening room. Absolutely mesmerizing. It's awesome to see how far she has come. She's really putting out some great music and I look forward to every album and single she drops.
I live in New Orleans and I remember hearing her on the streets! I always stopped and just listened to her. I will forever and always be a fan. She made my mornings in the quarter memorable ♥️
well, it is nice that you found her and gave her the attention she deserves. More people need to listen to this fantastic singer/songwriter. Well done piece.
I’ve been a big fan of Sierra since I stumbled across her music about 4 years ago. She just keeps getting better. So happy to see the rest of the world finally getting to know her music!
Her voice is great but it’s not her voice. She has that ‘panache’ that can’t be taught- she’s a communicator. Like the others- surprisingly few- where they are even more powerful in person than on a record or the radio: Nanci Griffith, Billy Joel, Allison Krause, Evanescence, Merle Haggard, David Draiman, Arthur Fiedler, Suzy Bogus, others; fabulous listening to their recorded works. In person and live, however, they have a presence that communicates- even if they weren’t great singers or not accomplished musicians they’d have that presence. Combine the two and you get Sierra Ferrel joining the ranks of those noted above, and a few others. She’s ‘believable’ no matter what she sings, and has great pitch. The voice is just one more good thing.
This new generation of female country artists is so amazing. From Sierra to Jaime Wyatt to Nikki Lane, and so many more..... They are all so original and yet familiar. All are breaths of fresh air.
Love her heart 💜 so happy to see her living her best life!! Been rooting for her since her Empty Glass Days 🤍 she is a beautiful soul and her voice is a divine gift, no doubt 💜
I saw her at the Green River Festival in Western Massachusetts in the Fall of 2021… she was so unique and her voice and musical style intriguing… so happy to see her finally getting this kind of notoriety!!
Yea, she'll change ya. Like she fell right out of an old painting. It's really hard to explain to those that haven't seen her the experience and feeling of what she puts out on that stage.
Sierra is amazing! First time I heard her, before Long Time Coming, I just knew I was listening to a future star. I began telling everyone about her. When I finally got to see her perform at Freshgrass in North Adams, MA all my feellings about her were confirmed; She was the best act of the weekend, by a long shot, and the next year she was one of the headliners there. One of the most creative and talented singers on the planet. If you have not seen Sierra live, do yourself a favor; you will not be disappointed. Amazing!!
I found her by pure chance in spring 21 (Elk River Blues) and within seconds i just couldn't believe how amazing she could be and still be hidden away. I saw her twice in England in summer 22 and really need her to return. She's got the most beautiful voice i've ever heard, not the strongest or most unique but there's pure magic in it.
Always love seeing a fellow West Virginian in the spotlight. I knew she would go somewhere the moment I heard her sing “In dreams” a few years ago, it’s a beautiful song if you haven’t heard it, and she has others like “Jeremiah” that are great

I am not a country fan but I heard one of her songs during the pandemic and was captivated. Her musical talent transcends genres. She is incredible.
She’s not even a country singer 😂
what is she then , genius? 😂@@bunnyban5365
@@bunnyban5365 @markb7340 She's the type of country that, for the most part, has been long lost on country radio. She's country. If you don't recognize it as that, then your understanding of country music is limited. Country, like other genres, has many variations. She's part of the best country has to offer.
Was it "In Dreams"?

Sierra Ferrell has that old style voice like the Carter Family or Billie Holiday; warms my soul just hearing her.
I been a fan of hers for years. I finally was able to see her live last year at Stagecoach and I’ll never forget it.
I have been huge fan ever since I came across RUclips and GemsonVHS videos almost 7 years ago. I have seen Sierra and her band 4 times so far, they were fantastic shows. One of those artists that sounds even better in person.
She has amazing vocal talents. Who else sings like her? Old school talent.
Melissa Carper. They've done a few songs together that have been uploaded to YT...
Judy Garland, another great singer whose fans truly loved her.
Bella White
Been praying for this young lady for many years . Her spirit and soul . Watching her post Busking on the streets .
She's a gem!!! 💎 💎 💎
Gems on VHS
I’m a Ferrett for life. Love her sound, her authenticity and dang she can write a song!
Sierra Ferrell is something special. She is on my playlist and in my likes. I've been listening to her for years. I love her voice, personality and her story. Keep it up Sierra were rooting for you!!!
One of the best live performances I’ve ever experienced.
a true folk country poet singing beautiful music
Great interview. She’s definitely an amazing artist and seems like a genuine human being
I've been watching her for years. I knew the first time I heard her she was destined for stardom. She has the talent, the charisma, the ability to be one of the biggest stars ever.
She is simply the most interesting artist I've heard in years, and I'm not especially a big country music fan. Her songs just speak to me. Her best song (in my humble opinion) is called "The Sea," which is a magnificent sort of a jazz-ish type of tune.
I have family in NOLA. I feel like her busking days stuck with her. There is a jazz/calypso thing she does effortlessly.
Here she comes!!. I know that traveling road and what it takes to make it out … so proud of you Sierra Ferrell
An American treasure. Thank you Rounder Records. She deserves all the great things coming to her.
How could anyone not love Sierra? She is a truly gifted young lady. So unique and she just draws you in and then you are hooked 😊❤
What a beautiful job you did with this story... Saw her last night... Oh my God she's the real deal... laughter, tears and triumph ❤
yes! The Fonda! I was gobsmacked. Can’t wait to see her again.
@@ladesigner8764 a dream come true
Sierra is amazing.. been spreading the word in Scotland.. she's really something special.. watch her live performances on RUclips it's all brilliant ❤❤❤
I saw Sierra at a free music and art festival in Edinboro , Pa. My friend Fred Parker who runs the festival put the musicians up in cabins on a lake near the festival sit. I had the luck to be staying there…
She came outside and sang with some other musicians.. but where she began to sing by herself you could hear a pin drop.
I still get chills when I see her live…and when I met her that weekend.., I told her ‘buckle up girl you are destined to be famous!’
Never more well deserved she has paid her dues and her talent is mind blowing and unique !!!! So happy for you Sierra!!!!!🥰💜
thanks CBS for featuring these TALENTED amazing young musicians showing us the way out of the culture they are born into. The opioid crisis, anxiety, depression and bad situations. Don't let anyone tell you how selfish young people ar.e look what they have been handed! GO kiddos! WE LOVE YOU!
Ive been crushing on this woman for a while. Her music is amazing! I have to see her and her band live.
Great piece. Her rise has been stunning, from a sellout last year at the Fillmore in San Francisco, to this month selling out The (much larger) Warfield Theater in San Francisco.
Sold out two nights in L.A. and Chicago….and selling out single nights in most cities.
A few years ago she played at Hardly Strictly and there was hardly anyone in the crowd to watch her, can't imagine the same thing happening today
Can't believe we almost lost her 😢 I love her so much ❤
Been a fan of sierra for YEARS, I remember the busking days, she’s the coolest and deserves all of the glory!
One clip they showed of her busking on the street was from Asheville, NC - but they had a dot on the map and the voice over saying "Chicago". Asheville is/was a noted stop for buskers and train hoppers. Abby the Spoon Lady also started here.
Also the first clip was from Colorado and they didn't even include it on the map!
Yeah. Great blues and bluegrass music scene;
The hall.
Can make a little money as a busker;
Just be careful...
South Slope or the Block.
@@DustyLeeSledge Ive been busking here on and off for 10 years. It helped foster artists like her and you can make some quick cash when you need it as a musician.They don't hassle you. There was debate amongst the city council/etc. but its legal with some restrictions.
I was lucky to be in the audience at the Orange Peel in AVL way back in January of 2013 (or 2014?). It was a Todd Snider concert.
Todd told a story about meeting a group of kids outside an earlier venue he was about to do a show at...in either Virginia or West Virginia, I think. One of the kids was a girl carrying a guitar. He asked her if she could sing - and she played him one of her songs.
Todd Snider liked it so much he asked her if she'd like to join him down in Asheville. If so, he'd let her sing that song in the middle of his set at the Orange Peel. And she did.
She was great. The crowd loved her.
I believe it was Sierra Ferrell's first time playing on stage for a large crowd.
I'm very happy to see her doing so well all these years later.
I have been following Sierra since about 2018. Absolutely love her voice! Effortless power and beauty. And I love her little lisp too.
I heard Sierra's voice years ago from another room at an American Legion in Nashville and I immediately stopped what I was doing and made my way to the listening room. Absolutely mesmerizing. It's awesome to see how far she has come. She's really putting out some great music and I look forward to every album and single she drops.
After all these years she’s really making it the era of Sierra!!
I live in New Orleans and I remember hearing her on the streets! I always stopped and just listened to her. I will forever and always be a fan. She made my mornings in the quarter memorable ♥️
well, it is nice that you found her and gave her the attention she deserves. More people need to listen to this fantastic singer/songwriter. Well done piece.
Day at a time sister,
One day at a time.....
....keep it simple! 🎻🎶
Love your voice, sing on.
wise words
Loved this interview. Sierra is amazing.
She is so real, the light she radiates is beautiful and undeniable. Pearl remain in oyster & the oil will protect you
Every single comment about her on here is positive. When you spread love all day every day it always comes back to you. She is so easy to root for.
I’ve been a big fan of Sierra since I stumbled across her music about 4 years ago. She just keeps getting better. So happy to see the rest of the world finally getting to know her music!
One of my new favorite musicians of all time. She is singular. ❤
I just love her voice. You can feel the words.
Her voice is great but it’s not her voice.
She has that ‘panache’ that can’t be taught- she’s a communicator. Like the others- surprisingly few- where they are even more powerful in person than on a record or the radio: Nanci Griffith, Billy Joel, Allison Krause, Evanescence, Merle Haggard, David Draiman, Arthur Fiedler, Suzy Bogus, others; fabulous listening to their recorded works.
In person and live, however, they have a presence that communicates- even if they weren’t great singers or not accomplished musicians they’d have that presence. Combine the two and you get Sierra Ferrel joining the ranks of those noted above, and a few others.
She’s ‘believable’ no matter what she sings, and has great pitch. The voice is just one more good thing.
Absolutely love her and her music!!
Met her when she was learning guitar in a tent with Colten Ort.She was a kid with a timeless voice. That voice left me stunned. Wow she can play now.
This new generation of female country artists is so amazing. From Sierra to Jaime Wyatt to Nikki Lane, and so many more..... They are all so original and yet familiar. All are breaths of fresh air.
This was an incredible interview. What a talent.
One of one right there. Love her.
what a beautiful soul… I saw her live, she was absolutely unbelievable
What a Treasure!… She is one of many proving that “Real Country Music” is still alive, well and thriving!
I'm seeing her in a week! I'm so excited to see her perform live!
Tip bring hankies. Most moving voice ..,
I saw her at Railbird, saw her at The Ryman, and I'll be seeing her at Bourbon & Beyond. She. Is. AMAZING!!!!
Best concert I’ve been to in the last five years hands-down. Hootin’ and Hollerin’ from the front row with the other crazies
Her soul is one in a trillion.
Just saw her at Delfest, what a awesome time, my 10 year old granddaughter was up front just jamming!
Why do I just love this interviewer so much? He’s the best.
Love her heart 💜 so happy to see her living her best life!! Been rooting for her since her Empty Glass Days 🤍 she is a beautiful soul and her voice is a divine gift, no doubt 💜
Might think she's crazy, but everything she said, felt so at home. Sierra is love.
I saw her at the Green River Festival in Western Massachusetts in the Fall of 2021… she was so unique and her voice and musical style intriguing… so happy to see her finally getting this kind of notoriety!!
She deserves all the recognition. An amazing artist.
Genuine talent. Gives me goose bumps hearing her sing. She might save country music by just being real.
Saw her last night at delfest. She sounded absolutely perfect, I was blown away.
Yea, she'll change ya. Like she fell right out of an old painting. It's really hard to explain to those that haven't seen her the experience and feeling of what she puts out on that stage.
Adore this woman, special talent.
What a sweetheart she is.
Pop divas are most envious of the realness 🤘 Go Sierra!!❤
anyone you ask could probably tell you where they were and why they were listening to her song when they first listen to her voice, shes amazing
Love what you said , about those who have less give the most …. It so true ❤, much love young lady, God bless and God be with you
This kid deserves it, she has worked her tail off to get to this point. Im so proud of her ❤
Sierra is amazing! First time I heard her, before Long Time Coming, I just knew I was listening to a future star. I began telling everyone about her. When I finally got to see her perform at Freshgrass in North Adams, MA all my feellings about her were confirmed; She was the best act of the weekend, by a long shot, and the next year she was one of the headliners there. One of the most creative and talented singers on the planet. If you have not seen Sierra live, do yourself a favor; you will not be disappointed. Amazing!!
❤🎉Love You Sierra!!! Saw you live in Santa Cruz. Fabulous 😊
Phenomenal singer. See her live!!🎶🎶
Shes #1 hands down. Seen her perform twice and my goodness shes wonderful. I tell my friends she the daughter of Dolly.
Great interview!
I found her by pure chance in spring 21 (Elk River Blues) and within seconds i just couldn't believe how amazing she could be and still be hidden away. I saw her twice in England in summer 22 and really need her to return. She's got the most beautiful voice i've ever heard, not the strongest or most unique but there's pure magic in it.
She's spectacular.
She had me at the Garden, what a beautiful and witty song!
What a special talent, a hard worked-out skill and experience, and a brilliant artist.
I went to highschool with her and she has always been an amazing singer ❤
She’s so beautiful. That talent is amazing.
Always love seeing a fellow West Virginian in the spotlight. I knew she would go somewhere the moment I heard her sing “In dreams” a few years ago, it’s a beautiful song if you haven’t heard it, and she has others like “Jeremiah” that are great
