Sierra Ferrell
Describing herself as a “jing-janglin gypsy,” Sierra Ferrell will bring her quirky alt-country Americana honky-tonk songs to the Blue Ridge Music Center stage. Ferrell cut her teeth on the rail lines, truck stops, street corners, and dingy, dimly lit listening rooms all across the land. Belting out her old-time melodies, she draws the audience into a tapestry of forlorn, star-crossed love, longing, poverty, suffering and triumph, encompassing many facets of the human spirit and the complexities of emotion that come with it.
Growing up in Charleston, West Virginia, Ferrell remembers her grandfather listening to gospel and old-time country, musical genres she began to appreciate when she reached her 20s. She says that she has “a country heart but a jazz mind,” which shows as she incorporates elements from old country, old jazz, and island-style music into her songs. Sierra Ferrell was recently signed to Rounder Records and is slated to release an album later this year.
