SUMMARY:Sierra Hull & John Craigie
DESCRIPTION:SIERRA HULL  \nSierra Hull is a six-time IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year\, two-time Grammy nominee\, and one of the most dynamic voices in bluegrass and Americana. Her latest album\, A Tip Toe High Wire\, marks a bold new chapter – her first independent release\, showcasing her songwriting and instrumental prowess. With guest appearances by Béla Fleck\, Tim O’Brien\, and Aofie O’Donovan\, the album balances tradition with innovation. Having shared stages with legends like Alison Krauss\, Eric Clapton\, Sturgill Simpson\, Slash and Robert Randolph\, Hull continues to push boundaries\, blending technical mastery with heartfelt storytelling as she carves her own path in modern acoustic music. \nJOHN CRAIGIE \nJohn Craigie has mastered the art of creating live shows that feel more like intimate conversations than performances. Infusing humor\, wit\, and poignant storytelling\, his shows are a space where audience members feel like old friends. Whether he’s headlining solo or sharing the stage with longtime collaborators\, Craigie’s ability to make his crowd laugh\, reflect\, and connect is second to none. As he prepares to release Greatest Hits… Just Kidding… Live – No Hits\, his latest live album captures the warmth and spontaneity of these memorable nights. \nAt this point\, there have been quite a few good shows in the rearview… \nAs a tried-and-true performer\, he has regularly sold out solo tours in addition to hitting the road with the likes of Langhorne Slim\, Brett Dennen\, Mason Jennings\, Bella White and Jack Johnson. He has picked up fans with sets at Newport Folk Festival\, Pickathon\, Edmonton Folk Festival\, and High Sierra Music Festival. Including numerous European tours and his first Australian tour in spring of 2024 Moreover\, his annual river trip on the Tuolumne River—just outside of Yosemite in California—has remained a hit with his audience\, hosting one sellout after another. Giving back as much as possible\, he notably launched the #KeepItWarm Tour during the holidays. By donating $1 from every ticket sale\, this headline run has raised money for regional non-profits with the goal of fighting food insecurity. An avowed Beatles acolyte\, he has performed acoustic renditions of the albums Abbey Road and Let It Be live in front of packed crowds and partnered with Record Store Day for limited-edition vinyl releases of those concerts.
