Sierra Hull

Only 16 years-old, Sierra Hull displays instrumental facility and musical maturity well beyond her age with Secrets, her national debut album on Rounder Records. Hull began playing mandolin at age eight, and quickly became noted on the national festival scene for her fluid, inventive picking, winning several mandolin and guitar championships in the process. Hull has developed into a vocalist since first starting to sing publicly two years ago, demonstrated by the largely vocal-driven material that composes Secrets. Though she self-released an instrumental CD, Angel Mountain, in 2002, Secrets reflects a staggering amount of growth over the six years that separate the two projects. Among the musicians and vocalists joining her on the album are Ron Block, Barry Bales, Dennis Crouch, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Clay Hess, Rob Ickes, Chris Jones, Jason Moore, Tony Rice, Dan Tyminski, Jim VanCleve, and the 17 year-old banjo phenom Cory Walker who has played alongside Hull for several years.
