Sierra Hull brought her signature mandolin magic to NPR’s Tiny Desk after heating up a snowy night in Washington, D.C., with four punchy tracks from her latest album, A Tip Toe High Wire: the rapid-fire “Boom” and “Lord, That’s a Long Way,” plus the heartfelt “Spitfire” and “Muddy Water.”
“Spitfire” honors Hull’s resilient granny—who survived the Depression, two widowhoods and more—while “Muddy Water” digs into Hull’s own songwriting surprises and urges listeners to show up as their true selves. It’s a cozy, barefoot-fan kind of set that proves this bluegrass star still owns the stage two decades in.
