    Sierra Hull, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Hawktail - the youngsters are going to reignite the bluegrass flame. I'm 65 years old, and I really feared that the genre would die with my generation. I'd go to festivals at the age of 50 and I'd be the youngest person there. No more, thanks to these kids. They're blowing the genre wide open, standing on the shoulders of Jerry Douglas, Tony Rice, Bela, Sam Bush, Grisman, and saying, "Hey - what's way out yonder?"
    The Seldom Scene (Marylanders, all) will be in my heart forever, but it's people like Sierra who are giving me hope for the future of bluegrass. Damn fine thing, that is.

    No equivalent to Bluegrass here in Australia but I just love the "get togetherness " of it , it feels like community , often an absolute showcase of talent but you get the feeling that they are "there to have a jam " love it( if you are going to show off , do it it on a Mandolin.

    Saw Sierra and the band in Fall River the other day. Just incredible playing yet also a warm performance. Yes, bluegrass, but blues, jazz, even a touch of rock and classical. They can play anything, any old time they want. If anyone proves "If you can play bluegrass you can play anything" it is Sierra Hull.

  • @acousticarchivefortwayne930

    Truly a nice video Michael. There are so many great things to say about Sierra and her bandmates I'm surprised you could limit it to 13 minutes. Personally I like where bluegrass is right now and I wouldn't be surprised if this time period in the future is considered the golden age. Next generation players like Sierra are playing with the likes of Bela, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Edgar Myer, Del McCourey, and to many to mention, the list would go on and on, but I'm sure they feel good knowing these players will take bluegrass into the future.
    If I can, I'd like to plug one of our local bands called "Debutants". They're exploring new territory in bluegrass on acoustic instruments and we're real proud of them and have a great time at their live shows here in town.
    All the best to you Michael!

    I love this one, Michael, as I have known Sierra since she was about 11 years old and performing on the Youth Stage back when the IBMA World of Bluegrass Convention was still in Louisville. Now, all of these years later, I've interviewed her multiple times over the years since for everyone from the Grammy folks to Bluegrass Unlimited and more. Her evolution as a player and singer has been amazing, and recent interviews I have done with Bela Fleck and Peter Rowan has them touting her virtuosity as well. Another cool live video out now is Sierra playing with funk master guitarist Cory Wong. What a hoot that is. Also good to hear you mention Doc Watson as after spending most of my life in Cincinnati, I'm coming up on 10 years living here in the Mountains outside of Boone and Deep Gap, NC, where Doc's statue bench sits on King Street. Because I also write for the paper in Boone, I get to ask every musician I interview who performs in town about their thoughts on Doc and he is appreciated far and wide. Next year, 2023, is Doc Watson's 100th birthday year so it will be big, but more important, inciteful as I gather up all the quotes about him I've gotten over the years. By the way, the Derek Trucks breakdown was also fantastic. He is simply amazing. The second of four interviews I have done with Derek about 14 years ago, I decided to ask other ace musicians to give me questions for him just to mix it up, and Jerry Douglas told me to as Derek if he ever had or has out-of-body experiences while in the zone playing guitar onstage, and his answer was YES! His elaboration on that subject was fascinating. I love that you have this bluegrass side to you, I've learned a lot from your channel as a player myself, keep up the great work! cheers! Derek H
