Sierra Hull appears Jan. 20 on the Murray Theatre stage at Ruth Eckerd Hall.

CLEARWATER – Sierra Hull will perform Friday, Jan. 20, 8 p.m., in Murray Theatre, at Ruth Eckerd Hall, 1111 McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater.

Tickets start at $25. Call 727-791-7400 or visit www.rutheckerdhall.com.

Hull, a Nashville native, is a virtuoso mandolin-player. Hull has astonished audiences and fellow-musicians alike. Now a seasoned touring musician nearing her mid-20s, Hull has delivered her most inspired, accomplished and mature recorded work to date – no small feat.

“Weighted Mind,” her most recent album, is a landmark achievement, not just in Hull’s career, but in the world of folk-pop, bluegrass and acoustic music overall. With instrumentation comprised largely of mandolin, bass and vocals, this is genre-transcending music at its best, with production by Béla Fleck and special harmony vocal guests Alison Krauss, Abigail Washburn and Rhiannon Giddens adding to the luster.

Hull speaks eloquently, in her challenging and sensitive originals, her heartfelt vocals, and once again breaks new ground on the mandolin. Fleck guests on banjo on two tracks and duo partner, Ethan Jodziewicz, not only anchors the record on bass, but also introduces us to a major new instrumental voice.
