6-time Grammy nominee and 7-time International Bluegrass Association Mandolinist of the Year, Sierra Hull, joined us this week for an extremely fun and in-depth conversation. We touched on topics from her most recent album, playing the Grand Ole Opry at age 10, collaborating with artists such as Allison Krauss, Bela Fleck, Cory Wong, and Goose, opening for Dave & Tim in Mexico, and soon to be opening for DMB at The Gorge...and so much more.

Sierra is a treasure and a true pleasure to chat with and of course, listen to as well. We hope you enjoy this rendition of Convos on The Corner, and please be sure to check out Sierra Hull at a concert near you!

We are excited to have our good friend, Stephanie, aka TwoSteph41, joining us this week to discuss all things Dave & Tim from Mexico. Our conversation spanned from Steph's "Mexico do's and don'ts", "Bluegrass Dave", and of course tons of nerdy, pointless stats.

This was a really fun episode and we have to thank Stephanie again for being on with us. Give her a follow on Instagram, @TwoSteph41, for tons of great DMB content and more!
