On a Friday, March evening, I made my way to the HI-FI for a night of brilliant music with singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sierra Hull and opener Gabe Lee. Having caught Sierra last summer at the Summer Camp Music Festival, where she collaborated with several artists, including Willie Nelson, Andy De Frasco, and Maggie Rose, I knew the evening would be a magical bluegrass musicianship. I was pleasantly surprised by the solid performance of the storyteller and songwriter Gabe Lee, who opened the evening of music.

Sierra Hull started her set with ‘How Long,’ ‘Beautifully Out of Place,’ and ‘The Last Minute’ from her 2020 album 25 Trips. The band laced in a few covers from Del McCoury, Bela Fleck, Flectones, and The Impressions ‘People Get Ready’ before closing the set with ‘Long Way.’ Gabe Lee joined the band on stage for the encore to play ‘Summer’s End.’

Sierra will be hitting the West Coast with some dates in California in April. For more concert info, head to https://www.sierrahull.com.
