Sierra Hull and 'I'm With Her' to Come to The Peace Center

The Peace Center has added two music events to the schedule:

Sierra Hull
Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019, at 8 p.m.; Gunter Theatre; $35

Sierra Hull has been recognized from the age of 11 as a musical prodigy and virtuoso mandolin player, astonishing audiences and fellow musicians alike. Alison Krauss called her to the Grand Ole Opry stage when Hull was only 11 years old. Two years later, she signed with Rounder Records and soon became known as a remarkable mandolin player, a tone-true vocalist and a recording artist of high order. She has played at the White House, Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center, and she became the first bluegrass musician to receive a Presidential Scholarship at the Berklee College of Music.

Now a seasoned touring musician nearing her mid-20s, Hull has delivered her most inspired, accomplished and mature recorded work to date. Weighted Mind is a landmark achievement in folk-pop, bluegrass and acoustic music. 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.

I'm With Her: Sara Watkins - Sarah Jarosz - Aoife O'Donovan
Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2019, at 7:30 p.m.; Peace Concert Hall; $35-$45

A band of extraordinary chemistry and exquisite musicianship, I'm With Her features Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O'Donovan. Collectively, the multi-Grammy Award winners have released seven solo efforts, co-founded two seminal bands (Nickel Creek and Crooked Still) and contributed to critically-acclaimed albums from a host of esteemed artists.

I'm With Her formed at an impromptu show in 2014 at the Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, Colo. Since then, they have garnered acclaim for their unique blend of instrumental interplay combined with their indelible harmonies, as The New York Times describes, "... that could be sweetly ethereal, or as tightly in tandem as country sibling teams like the Everly Brothers, or as hearty as mountain gospel."

They released their debut album, See You Around (Rounder Records), in February. NPR instantly hailed the collection as "willfully open-hearted." PopMatters praised the supergroup, stating that the "smashing collective... is a beautiful cohesion of tight harmonies, acoustic brilliance and fresh songwriting."
