Sierra Hull

Hey now, let me tell you a story about a young lady by the name of Grace Bowers, who, at the ripe age of eighteen, has been causin’ quite a stir. You see, this ain’t your average upstart musician—we’re talkin’ about a girl whose talent seems to have fallen straight from the heavens, as if ol’ Jupiter himself plucked her from his lightning bolt and sent her down with a guitar in her hands. By all accounts, her rise has been faster than a runaway train on greased rails.

Today, SIERRA HULL — the 2x GRAMMY-nominated and 6x International Bluegrass Music Association Award-winning artist — has released her roots-laced rendition of “Black Muddy River” — which has been a recurring gem in her live set for years. Originally released in 1987 by the legendary improvisational psychedelic rock group Grateful Dead, HULL’s version doubles down on earthy sonic tapestry and bluegrass-tinged musicianship.
