every single person in this group is an unreal musician. 10/10

I write and listen to a lot of metal that is so produced that hearing something like this is just incredible.

Everyone is just so incredibly talented and this one-take, one mic performance blows my mind.

I’m glad to see younger people keeping this music tradition alive....so much of today’s “country music” is so hyped up and ramped up into something more like urban street music with an accent.

I am at a loss for words to express what a perfect performance this is with acoustic instruments into a single microphone.

OMG😮 - the flat pickin' takes my breath away. It's all stunning❣️

[KathleenFrench]

I’m smiling the entire time, listening to them play. What a joyful experience they create together!

It's funny: I don't think I've watched one of Sierra's video in a couple of years at least, she randomly popped into my head a few hours ago, and now I find one of her videos at the top of my recommendations! I didn't even search for her or anything!

Anyway I'm glad I found her music again, great as always.

I’m your new biggest fan. Love this music and the feeling you bring to it! Can’t help moving!

American music is alive and well with Sierra and her band. Let me state the obvious, this young lady is the greatest, finest mandolin player today. I watched her show last night from the side of the stage and was left speechless! "What do you say?" when you see a perfect show???
It's like seeing the embodiment of Dolly, EVH, Sam Bush, the angelic voice of Allison Krauss, the jazz of Bela, and the kindness, down to earth, friendliness of Dr. Ralph Stanley all in one person, in a show. Music at its best.
My favorite part, at the end of her set, and the encore, she asked the crowd to come close to the stage, and played an OLD SCHOOL, acoustic set for all of us. She was surrounded by an ocean of folk, all instant and lifelong fans/family.
I love all music. I particularly enjoyed their rendition of This Train, which the late Jeff Beck had also covered.
I could go on and on, but let me say, the entire band is great. Big shout to the drummer, he killed it too.
Miss Sierra, your talent and your music is American gold, there is no better. And your live performance is perfect. Great song selection. Intimate presentation.
Loved it. I'm now your #1 fan.
Kind regards. Thank you for a magnificent performance!

Glad ya'll are finally using a mic when recording these jams. Such beautiful music should NOT go to waste with crappy phone mics. Nice work ya'll! Love It!

Great song, great band, and amazing performance! More of this, please.
