Sierra Hull.
Bethany Brook Showalter and Spencer ShowalterSierra Hull has recorded music since she was a teenager, but for Her latest albumShe had to try something completely new: to be an independent artist.
“Unlike most people’s stories, my kind feels a little back because I started so young,” Hull said, 33, exclusively. Us every week before the release of her new album, TIP TOE HIGH WIRE. “But when I was 13, I signed (Rounder Records) so I never did an independent thing.”
For most artists, the trajectory is monitored in the opposite way: crush it on your own, then we hope that the label will notice and write great control. Instead, Hull, now on his fifth album, will finally find out what it means to have control over each part of the process.
“I felt like I owed it to go through this way,” she explained. “It’s scary, but it really seizes.” … When you are independent, you can supervise the whole thing in a different way. And yeah, it’s a bit intimidating, but also aggravating that in the long run it is music that will be mine forever. I will have it ownership as long as I choose. ”
TIP TOE HIGH WIRE is possible hull The largest eclectic album so farMixing traditional bluegrass with contemporary people, Country and American sounds. Finding this perfect mix is something that has partially happened by working independently – quickly notices that “still lasts the village” to create an album and plan a tour, but now it is more intention about her decisions.
Ford Fairchild Tier Kennedy has one of his career years – but things last winter didn’t look so promising. The 26 -year -old rural star was launched from its recording company after spending more than two years of work on its debut album (and eight years in Nashville). It was one of (…)
Her last album, 25 tripsIn February 2020, it dropped, so at the time she was able to go through it, she felt as if “she was already in the new chapter of inspiration”. After concluding a contract with Rounder, Hull dared to really think about what she wanted to do next. Started to record some of the songs TIP TOE HIGH WIRE Already in 2021, without knowing where they could end.
“Being in an independent space gave me freedom to continue and start recording because why not?” She remembered. “I could do it when I felt and didn’t have to worry,” Oh, can we get funds for it? Or do we want to have a plan for it? “It was like,” I will capture this moment with these musicians. ” ”
Sierra Hull.
Bethany Brook Showalter and Spencer ShowalterShe also knew she wanted to stretch for what she had done before. “I grew up this bluegrass girl here in Tennessee in a small town and be a player of almonds, the traditional bluegrass is my heart and soul and will be forever,” she explained. “But I have always had to explore this desire outside these walls and try to move the boundaries of what the instrument is doing.”
So there are instrumental jams like “Lord, this is a long way”-related for the phrase created by the late grandmother of her husband-and also harder to classify Bangers as “let’s”, duet s Aoife o’doned. “Go out of my blues”, Hull deliberately mixed an old school and a new school and gained her bandmate to play Clawhammer Banjo and at the same time using a progressive division on her mandolin.
Erika Goldring/Wireimage Masked Musician Orville Peck is just like us – can’t stop talking about Chapppell Roan. “I’m obsessed with Chappell.” I love (the rise and fall and fall of the princess in the Midwest) … I think it is so talented, ”said Peck, exclusively, exclusively for a week before our weekend 1 performance at the limits of the city of Austin 2024 (…)
“I felt like I was performing in this new space, but I tried to juggle in one hand, my roots-my traditional lover simple songs-and the effectiveness of something that is very lyrical forward and not too complicated,” Hull said Our. “But there are also other things in the record that I tried to look for something that would feel new and interesting for me in this new space, in which I am and do not be afraid to explore it.”
Name of the album, TIP TOE HIGH WIREIt reflects this attempt to balance old and new. The name comes from the lyric in the trail of “Spitfire”, which Hull wrote about his late grandmother, whose spirit penetrates the whole LP.
“She was the fiery woman who wasn’t afraid of anything, it didn’t seem,” Hull said. “The songs may feel a little sad and raw, but it’s about the hardships and tragedies she has gone through.” The assertion is the celebration of its durability and its fearlessness to move forward in life no matter what is happening. So when thinking about this record and this new chapter about moving to an independent space and for the first time to do things, the Lyric constantly protruded to me, the top top high wire. ”
When Shania Twain arrived in Nashville at the beginning of 90. She was obviously beautiful and talented, but her music-with her sound with pop sound and harsh and non-supplied lyrics did not fit into a neat small box. “It was his own thing,” 59 -year -old (…)
Hull incorporated many songs of albums to her setlistBut she is excited that fans hear the rest this spring and summer. Following Her solo dataShe will go on a road with a legendary Willie Nelson for his Outlaw Music Festival a tour that also contains Bob Dylan and Billy Stings.
“Vibration is so entertaining and sees Willie every night – I think it still sounds good as always,” she said, remembering the earlier date Outlaw she played with Sturgill Simpson. “It’s just amazing, his career trajectory from being a young guy.” Remained relevant and loved. What honor to join him to some data. ”
And this time it will do it according to its own conditions: “This record is about the performance and is trying to be courageous – and the fearless to this new chapter.”
