Just not my bag...Sorry but I am a traditional bluegrass person....
For what its worth she's done a lot of traditional bluegrass over her short life, alongside some of the greatest players of the genre. Don't discount her because of one performance.
Yes, I'm a fan. Not a huge fan, but I'd still sit quietly and watch her play any time, any where.
Get on Youtube and check out some videos of her. I like this one of her trading licks with Adam Steffe:
If you search youtube for steffe hull you'll find a few other songs from this session. On one of them they swapped mandos. Pretty cool.
My GFs: Collings MF, Mandobird VIII, Mando-Strat, soprano & baritone ukuleles tuned to GDAE and a Martin X1-DE Guitar.
