Sierra Ferrell, a West Virginia singer-songwriter born in 1988, makes roots music that refuses to stay in one room of the house. Bluegrass and folk sit at the core, but gypsy jazz swings right through it, a little soul seeps in, and she's happy to wander off into tango and calypso when a song asks for it, all carried by a voice with a wobble and a twinkle that sounds like it came off a shellac record.
She put out Pretty Magic Spell on her own in 2018 and Washington by the Sea in 2019, then signed with Rounder for Long Time Coming in 2021, and the critics swooned. "The Sea", "In Dreams" and "Bells of Every Chapel", that last one featuring Billy Strings, went up on her YouTube channel ahead of it like a trail of breadcrumbs.
She stuck with Rounder for Trail of Flowers in March 2024, the record with "American Dreaming" on it, and it won her 4 Grammy Awards.
