2-time Grammy-nominated virtuoso mandolinist and singer-songwriter

Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sierra Hull hit more milestones in her first 25 years than many musicians accomplish in a lifetime. After making her Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 10, the Tennessee-bred virtuoso mandolinist played Carnegie Hall at age 12, then landed a deal with Rounder Records just a year later. Now 29 years old, Hull’s fourth full-length album for Rounder is the elegantly inventive and endlessly captivating 25 Trips. The 2-time Grammy nominee will appear at Strings for the first time this November.

Dead Horses isn’t a band in the conventional sense. Rather, it’s an intimate, folk-inspired conversation between two close friends: guitarist/singer Sarah Vos and bassist Daniel Wolff. Dead Horses weave together a vibrant patchwork of classic and contemporary influences that span traditional roots, indie-folk, and other experimental musical idioms. Through it all, the union of Sarah’s emotive songwriting with Dan’s intrepid bass playing transcends the singer-songwriter-with-backup-musicians paradigm.

Texas duo draws musical inspiration from groups like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and The Doobie Brothers, as well as songwriters such as Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt. They will perform with special guest Mipso.

Jamestown Revival’s Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance forged a musical bond as teenagers growing up in Magnolia, Texas. Their newest album, Young Man, features skillful songwriting, flawless harmony, and intricate fingerpicking. With themes like coming of age and settling into an identity, Young Man is envisioned as a collection of songs that should be played all the way through. Sonically, the album evokes the experience of musicians huddled together, singing and playing without headphones or click tracks.

Mipso performs lush, harmony-laden Americana with southern roots and modern progressions. This North Carolina-bred four-piece captivates audiences with finely layered vocal harmonies, graceful fluency in the timeless musical traditions of their home state, and a near-telepathic musical connection that makes their live show especially kinetic. They last wowed crowds at the Strings outdoor stage in summer, 2021.

Tickets start at $35.

ABOUT LEFTOVER SALMON – Few bands stick around for thirty years. Even fewer bands leave a legacy during that time that marks them as a truly special, once-in-a-lifetime type band. And no band has done all that and had as much fun as Leftover Salmon. Offbeat calls them, “one of the most spirited, jovial bands of the jam band nation.”

“Leftover Salmon has built a fervent audience with an insatiable thirst
for its energetic live performances” -NPR’s Mountain Stage

In their earliest days, Leftover Salmon was a progressive bluegrass band who had the guts to add drums to the mix. Unafraid to stir combustible styles into their ever-evolving sound, they became a pioneer of the modern jamband scene. Today, as elder-statesmen of the festival scene, Salmon keeps alive and vital the traditional music of the past– while pushing that sound forward with their own quirks.

Celebrating 30 years, the band now features a lineup that has been together longer than any other in Leftover Salmon history: founding members Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman, banjo-wiz Andy Thorn, bassist Greg Garrison, drummer Alwyn Robinson, and keyboardist Erik Deutsch.

He built his reputation on live performances that are always engaging, often hilarious. No two shows are alike; but they consistently keep the audience on their feet.

Un-beholden to conventionalism, Keller’s music encompasses rock, jazz, funk, and bluegrass. For most of his career he has performed solo with stage shows rooted around Keller singing his own compositions along with choice cover songs, while accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, bass, guitar synthesizer, and drum samples: a technique called live phrase sampling or looping. The end result often leans toward a hybrid of alternative folk and groovy electronica, a genre Keller jokingly calls ADM: “acoustic dance music.”

Legendary bluesman has influenced Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, and so many more.

Taj is a towering musical figure— a legend who transcended the blues not by leaving them behind, but by revealing their magnificent scope to the world. Quantifying the 77-year-old’s significance is impossible, but people try anyway. A 2017 Grammy win for TajMo, Taj’s collaboration with Keb’ Mo’, brought his Grammy tally to three wins and 14 nominations, and underscored his undiminished relevance more than 50 years after his solo debut. Blues Hall of Fame membership, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association, and other honors punctuate his résumé. Taj appreciates the accolades, but his motivation lies elsewhere. “I just want to be able to make the music that I’m hearing come to me— and that’s what I did,” Taj says. “When I say, ‘I did,’ I’m not coming from the ego. The music comes from somewhere. You’re just the conduit it comes through. You’re there to receive the gift.”
