I get the feeling she's just jammin'. I'm pretty sure she could if she wanted to but, I've never heard her play a song the same way twice. I've noticed a lot gets added to the songs the more she plays them.
I'm thankful RUclips has the loop feature and I'm thankful Sierra Hull shares music I want to hear over and over...sometimes for hours on one song. There's so much there and it hits me different each time.
This sounds like an old "Strength In Numbers" piece - written by Bela Fleck. How cool that the original mandolin player on that recording was Sam Bush - Sierra's mentor. Gotta love it.
One of the best versions of this song. Fantastic. Saw you in Portland OR in 2022 with Cory Wong. That was also one of the best concerts I've been to. Great stuff, Sierra!
Dear Lord, giving me the shivers. So good. Bela fleck jam. Just saw him wailing with Dave a month ago. Next time Dave crushes Phoenix, Jeff please bring Sierra.
Awesome! This strikes me as some kind of a breakthrough, or a step to the next level. Sierra's stage presence was commanding and the combination of various instruments was perfect!
@@neilgendzwill3260 I was 99% sure I knew it's her 2009 Gibson Master Model, checking myself I found this; "Sierra Hull indeed plays a Gibson Master Model, dated from 2009, David Harvey signed and it does have the L.R. Baggs pickup. I got to play her MM at Huck Finn Jubilee in June of this year; really fine instrument that reminded me a lot of my buddy's 2007 Gibson Sam Bush in it's tonality and feel. As an aside I asked her how does her MM compare to the "better" Loars she has played and she replied, favorably!"
Sierra has a special brand of music. She is so unique, so adaptable to any genre...she always strives to add something special to any song or tune every time she plays it, like in this version of Stomping Grounds...Sierra is really the only artist out there who has tastefully turned the mandolin into a superb sounding lead acoustic instrument - and yet her rhythm parts are off the charts. Her style of guitar playing is quite special too...One of the genuine jewels in the crown of truly great musicans out there today.
I saw her perform in St. Augustine, St. Patrick's Day weekend 2017. She, and an equally talented Double Bassist, did a rendition of "Battle of Evermore", followed by a Big Tymers cover. She made me cry, and I'm a Grown Ass Man... I felt no shame.... To say that she is truly an amazing talent would be the understatement of the Millenia...
WOW! This is beautiful!!!! ❤ So much raw talent on that stage it's awesome!!! Thanks Sierra for sharing this! I think you are such a talented woman! And very pretty. Keep playing , music is LIFE! Love you all!
I was actually just looking for good soprano saxophonists, as I play it myself, and came across you. You have inspired me. What a time, what joy and lightness, what a composition, and what a successful combination of soprano sax and folk-country music. I love it! Best regards, Ralf Olbrich from the E3-Acoustic-Band from Germany.
Omg!!!! Just found you. You are amazing. My dad sent me this video saying you are an amazing musician, he was right. You and all. Thanks 😍 Also agree with other comments here, your smile while playing is like your music!!
Wow, just wow. The joy of all those amazing players on the stage is contagious even though it's just a recording on youtube. Can't imagine what it was like seeing this live! Great job!
This young lady is a musical genius and her smile makes me happy. Jeff Coffin…genius, of course.
yes she is

INDEED!
She is so good it's uncanny.

Now this was a fun jam! Sierra remains at the top of her game!
Extremely talented acoustic masters of their instruments..Pure acoustic display of top level mastery.
Sierra is such a badass. All amazing musicians.
OMG...what a thrill! He's the OG? The Oh Golly? Holy smokes. Bela and Victor gonna dig this!! Thanks so much...go Sierra and friends!!
how beautiful it is 👌
It is raining, cold, and dark out there, but you guys brightened my day. Sierra and this group of amazing musicians!!!
Wow the improvisational chops on all of them is amazing!
Sierra puts the mandolin sound in a new dimension. All the music are awesome! Great show!
I keep sharing this jam to my friends cause it brings me joy, I wish it can do the same to other people.
Such an enjoyable performance! Very impressed by the level of musicianship here.

Absolutely first class!
This put a real smile on my face. Thanks!
Dear Lord, giving me the shivers. So good. Bela fleck jam. Just saw him wailing with Dave a month ago. Next time Dave crushes Phoenix, Jeff please bring Sierra.
Yea! That's just how Bela Fleck and the Flecktones woiuld have done it! .......except with a banjo. I loved this Sierra!
Awesome! This strikes me as some kind of a breakthrough, or a step to the next level. Sierra's stage presence was commanding and the combination of various instruments was perfect!
Keeps getting better and better!
Sierra is a true barn burner.. incredible player.
Love the way everyone had a solo in the song.
This is amazing stuff! I was all smile thoroughout. Thank you all!
Great cover!!! Been a Bela Fleck fan for decades! The Wootens too! Wow!
Super
Excellent! Keep on doing what you do so well!
its ok to put this on repeat - you're not alone
Flecktones, probably the most iconic Americana of the 90's, Jeff Coffin was always an amazing addition to that group.
Can't stop listening to this. What is it? Bluegrass, jazz, Gentle Giant ;) ? Anyway it's Sierra Hull on a next level. Beautiful!
Yes! Absolutely. I think I might have heard some Pink Floyd in there.
@@irrefudiateVery droll, Baldrick! ☮️🧙🏼♂️🏴 🇬🇧
BlueGrazz
I hear a bit of Swedish folk in here too!
A lot of jazz fusion influence, like The Rippingtons, but less bassy. Pretty neat stuff, I love it!
That is just incredible. It’s so fun to watch and listen to musicians having a great time themselves.
Absolutely wonderful 👏👏👏👏👏
Sierra you are BADD!!!! Dang!!! Bless you, you make such a difference. ❤️
Brought a smile to my face! Great job everyone! 🥰
Love it !!!
Absolutely love how effortless y’all make it and how much fun you’re having with such a great song. Can’t wait to catch y’all again live!
I mean Sierra and the entire band is just awesome
been to heaven and it sounds just like this. amen
I never fail to be blown away by Sierra's incredible talent. She makes it look so easy.
Why am I just now learning about this gorgeous young woman with monster mandolin skills?!
Wow! Just Wow! Love this.
Those guys are tighter than a banjo head. And, this arrangement is amazing. Very nice.
You guys look like you're having Sooooo much fun and the music is amazing!
My favorite bluegrass band.
Every player is top-notch.
Jeff Coffin fits in amazingly.
Sierra you are and will always be the greatest!
Sierra. Please put this arrangement on your next album
it's the mirth of virtuosity. mind blowing
Sierra Hull us surely giving that 1920's Lloyd Loar mandolin a work out.
Damn beautiful instrument, and she rocks the shit out of it!
Don’t think it’s a Loar. Her main axe is a modern Gibson, custom crafted for her.

Sierra is on top !
Saw Jeff with the Flecktones years ago. That dude can play! Same with Sierra. Saw her at Blueplumb in Johnson City when she was a child.
That was recording quality. I didn't know this kind of music still existed in this corporate music world.
Awesome!!
Excellent!
VERY VERY VERY AMAZING ❤❤❤

You are great👍
I loved this song since the first time I heard it on their live album!
Oh boy !!
Can't wait to see her again.
Pure joy!!
WOW is not enough when you can feel the taste of music in your mouth.

'flat pickin' section, here... ☮️💖🇺🇸🎻🎸🎶✌️🧙🏼♂️😇
Live at the Quik feels. Love it ❤❤❤
Reminds me back in 88’ when I saw Chic Corea with John Patitucci and Frank Gambale. But I like y’all better. Your musicality wins me over.
I miss the Jeff Coffin Flecktone years. His sense of musical playfulness fit so perfectly. Awesome jam, Sierra and co. Does the original justice.
Every so often musicians touch on that magic and the instruments really become voices and songs become conversations. Magic
I had a smile on my face the whole time watching this. That's what music should do. ❤ Such an awesome and talented band! 😍🤘
Ive seen the Flecktones multiple times, and this is as good as they can do. Bravo Sierra. You and your band (with Jeff) sound friggin great!
YES! SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS RESURRECTED!!!!
great job. One of the Flecktones underrated songs. This and New South Africa
🙏👏👏👏❤
WOW! This is beautiful!!!! ❤ So much raw talent on that stage it's awesome!!! Thanks Sierra for sharing this! I think you are such a talented woman! And very pretty. Keep playing , music is LIFE! Love you all!
I just got blown away by this incredible musicianship! This is so hot I have a fan on my computer to cool it down!
Just, wow……

Love this cover from Bela’s Live Art double disc. That album changed my life
Got me up and dancing alone in my office. Thank you for the smiles. I needed that 🙏
Omg!!!! Just found you. You are amazing. My dad sent me this video saying you are an amazing musician, he was right. You and all. Thanks 😍 Also agree with other comments here, your smile while playing is like your music!!
Mandolin on Fire
It is the best performance i've ever seen!!!!!
The call and response was well practiced no doubt, but to be that good and have that much fun is amazing to witness.
Wow, just wow. The joy of all those amazing players on the stage is contagious even though it's just a recording on youtube. Can't imagine what it was like seeing this live!
Great job!
