You said it all ! 💜

[@robinwatauga]

Not quite all; she is also a Badass!

[@pdeedee1699]

Sierra is the queen of music

[@bealestreator8940]

Hey! props to Josh Rilko, mandolin, also for bringing the appropriate vocal harmony in this delicate setting. Any wrong pitch would really have shown up. Thanks, @wrothman, I wouldn't have known Gum Tree Canoe is like, wow, 176 YEARS OLD :-)

Great note on Josh

[@ronhowell4886]

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@adog8308]

What a great vocal range!…and such talented musicians, all of them!

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

Can’t wait to see Sierra this July…She’s a breath of fresh air

I was there, it was wonderful. Rachel Baiman did a John Hartford tribute with the performers of the festival.

I was there, it was wonderful.

Absolutely gorgeous rendition of this wonderful song. I especially love the way Sierra's voice "floats like a feather" when she sings those words. By the way, the song wasn't written by John Hartford. It was written in 1847 by S. S. Steele and was often performed-usually in faux Black dialect-as part of minstrel shows.

[@dalelawrence6470]

Wow awsome voice.

[@johnmurray2214]

Put this on repeat.

[@curlybill3966]

Great!

[@oldmanfred8676]

John would be proud!

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

As would the ubiquitous SS Steele.

[@buckdancer8131]

This is as good as it gets kids.

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

Have to agree with you Buckdancer. This bluegrass set, filled with John Hartford classics overlapped with the Drive-by Truckers set. I set aside my disappointment and attended this amazing musical moment.

[@TommyFarrell69]

Lovin' this! Great voice, great band :)

[@krissantos8178]

like a feather... we will float away... in our country canoe 😀

This guitarist though!!!!

[@jamesbaskerville9800]

Not sure about the bonkers wardrobe choices but every part of the vocals and music was divine!

[@ronhowell4886]

@@po5586 You nailed it in your reply. Just look at the some of the pop stars are wearing these days.

[@Scablander]

In case no one noticed, that guitar player killed his solo. Anybody know who that cat is?

[@melindarussell2024]

Is it Jacob Groopman from Front Country?

[@guacamole8964]

My God!

[@targetedindividual808]

Ya'll can thank me for discovering Sierra Ferrell. Josie Toney is a star too.

[@jimstieren1729]

Thank you!

[@artphot]

It’s amazing how many songs y’all memorize very sharp minds ! Sierra with perfect melody and Josh and Josey make their instruments just about speak!

[@GermanGozalvo]

Hermosa música

[@beaksofeagles]

Gorgeous, but where's the soft shoe shuffle eh??? ;-)

[@bendummitt888]

The hardest working band in the biz...

[@ricotaline]

It's funny

[@RandallSchwed]

Little shaky on the lyrics but good save.👍

[@maryalice5357]

Josie looks like a Greek statue here.
