Risk and Reward: Sierra Hull Goes Indie for ‘A Tip Toe High Wire’

It’s hard to put a label on Sierra Hull. She grew up in bluegrass, but she and her mandolin have stretched those roots far beyond any one genre. She’s found success as a solo artist, but she revels in collaborations. She emerged as a child prodigy, debuting at the Grand Ole Opry at age 10, playing Carnegie Hall when she was 12, and signing with Rounder Records at 13; but at 33 she is still breaking new ground.
