August has been a good month for mandolin-centered concerts in Carrboro, with performances from Mike Compton, Mike Marshall and Caterina Lichtenberg, and now Sierra Hull.
She said from the stage that this was her first-ever performance in Carrboro.

What event was this? Can't believe I missed it and I'm so close. I need a list of events to know what's going on.

Re: Sierra Hull in Carrboro, N.C.
I've been out of town and missed all of these! Although, I just found out if be in town for the Chris Thile, Edgar Meyer concert Oct. 8th at the Carolina Theater in Durham. Managed to get a decent seat. FYI. The Triangle is a great place to see concerts from a diverse range of musical acts.

This was the last set of a free daytime gig at the Cat's Cradle, linked to the 25th anniversary of UNC's Southern Folklore Collection.Originally Posted by Londy
If you expand this excellent Mandolin Month to the Triangle as a whole, we also saw Chris Thile and Nickel Creek (in Cary) and Tony Williamson (in a free Raleigh show). It's entirely likely that I've omitted some other cool gigs in the area during the course of what has been an excellent month for fine mandolin.
Re: Sierra Hull in Carrboro, N.C.
oh CRAP. I gotta get plugged into all these great events! Can someone direct me as to where to get notified of all the great things going on here?

Re: Sierra Hull in Carrboro, N.C.
regarding the video... so is she really little or is that a mandola?

She is very little ... but she plays like a giant.
Re: Sierra Hull in Carrboro, N.C.
Here she is with an octave mandolin.
Just to demonstrate the difference in size:

Re: Sierra Hull in Carrboro, N.C.
I saw her several days earlier; Thursday, August 21st; at Big Top Chautauqua in Wisconsin. Her warm up act was Barefoot Movement; extremely entertaining and fine musicians to boot. Sierra came out wearing very high high heels, which she removed later in the show; and yes she is quite short? No shortage of talent though; she and here band are amazing? I know Sierra has been nominated for mandolin player of the year this year and several times in the past? Her time has come and there are few more deserving; incredible talent.
Re: Sierra Hull in Carrboro, N.C.
Barefoot movement and Sierra Hull in one show...can't get any better. Only wish I had been there. A heads up for a GREAT group heading to Raleigh in January...The Steel Wheels will be performing at The Fletcher Opera House on Friday January 23rd. Check them out at www.thesteelwheels.com. These guys are great musicians that put on an incredible show!
Re: Sierra Hull in Carrboro, N.C.
I missed this too and I'm local .... is there a way to get updates on local concerts? I would have loved to see her in person!
