Sierra Hull and Highway 111 - Free!

There is a free concert at Madison Square Park (23rd and Madison Ave.) this Saturday, September 26th at 3:00 with Sierra Hull and Highway 111... 


  (from the official announcement):
  September 26 / 3:00pm 
Sierra Hull & Highway 111
Kelleigh McKenzie

At just seventeen, Sierra Hull has the biography of a seasoned performer, having already appeared on the Grand Olde Opry stage and worked with Alison Krauss, IIIrd Tyme Out, Sam Bush, Mountain Heart and Ricky Skaggs. Her original mandolin picking takes surprising turns and she has a sweetly trained voice to match.
Kelleigh McKenzie opens the show performing atop a stompbox and playing banjo or guitar, McKenzie sings smart and gripping original songs. Her debut album Chances has garnered praise and awards, such as the 2009 Independent Music Award for Best Americana Song. In April 2009, McKenzie could be heard on NPR’s “Mountain Stage”.
