Biography

Grammy award winning, Sierra Hull and Justin Moses were married in 2017. They’ve performed with each other extensively in various forms for the last decade. Sierra and Justin have played venues from the Ryman Auditorium in their hometown of Nashville, TN to the Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. They appeared together on the CMA Awards in 2018 alongside Ricky Skaggs, and they’ve each won International Bluegrass Music Association Awards for their instrumental work on their chosen instruments.

Sierra Hull’s positively stellar career started early. That is, if you consider a Grand Ole Opry debut at age 10, called back to the famed stage a few months later at age 11 to perform with her hero and mentor Alison Krauss to be early. She played Carnegie Hall at 12; at 13 signed with Rounder Records and later issued her debut, Secrets, and garnered the first of many nominations for Mandolin Player of the Year. She eventually made history by becoming the first female to win the prestigious title. She played the Kennedy Center at 16 and the next year became the first bluegrass musician to receive a Presidential Scholarship from Berklee College of Music. As a 20-year-old, Hull played the White House and would later be invited back for a second time.

Now in her late 20s, Sierra has received GRAMMY nominations for her last two solo albums and continues to push the musical boundaries with her continued love of exploration in music. She remains deeply rooted in theBluegrass community but is also inspired and excited by the ever evolving roots scene. When not working on solo projects, her ability to span multiple genres has led to collaborations with friends and icons such as the IndigoGirls, Garth Brooks, B la Fleck, Gillian Welch, Brandi Carlile, Dierks Bentley, Cory Wong, Steve Martin, Bobby McFerrin, Jewel, Edgar Meyer and Sturgill Simpson.

Justin Moses is an award winning multi-instrumentalist celebrated as one of the most versatile musicians in all of acoustic music. A prominent Nashville session musician, he has appeared on stage or in the studio with an endless list of diverse artists such as Alison Krauss, Del McCoury, Garth Brooks, Emmylou Harris, Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, Bruce Hornsby, B la Fleck, Peter Frampton, Rosanne Cash, Marty Stuart and Barry Gibb among many others. In 2018 and 2020 he was named Dobro Player of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association.
