Sierra Hall

(NEWTON, NJ) -- Sierra Hull & John Craigie come to The Newton Theatre on Sunday, October 5, 2025. Sierra is one of the most dynamic voices in bluegrass and Americana. John has mastered the art of creating live shows that feel more like intimate conversations than performances. Showtime is 7:00pm.

Sierra Hull is a virtuoso mandolinist, a two-time Grammy-nominated artist, and a groundbreaking songwriter. Recognized for her acclaimed albums 25 Trips (2020) and Weighted Mind (2016), she’s also a six-time IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year - the first woman to ever receive this honor. A pioneer in acoustic music, Hull has performed on iconic stages like Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry, and the White House. Her artistry has earned praise and collaboration with legends like Alison Krauss, Béla Fleck, Dolly Parton, Brandi Carlile, and Billy Strings. Hailing from Byrdstown, Tennessee, Hull’s innovative sound is deeply rooted in bluegrass yet continually pushes boundaries.

John Craigie infuses humor, wit and poignant storytelling, his shows are a space where audience members feel like old friends. As a tried-and-true performer, he has regularly sold out solo tours in addition to hitting the road with the likes of Langhorne Slim, Brett Dennen, Mason Jennings, Bella White and Jack Johnson. Simultaneously, his catalog has continued to reel in tens of millions of streams fueled by favorites such as “I Am California”, “Highway Blood”, “Don’t Ask” and “Microdose.” Maintaining a prolific pace, 2024’s Pagan Church saw him join forces with TK & The Holy Know-Nothings. Among many highlights, it logged six weeks at #1 on the Americana Radio Albums Chart.
