September was simply a blur. It started with the station I program, WMOT Roots Radio, celebrating its second birthday, then there was the ever expanding frenzy of AmericanaFest, and I wrapped the month at the Pilgrimage Music Festival in Franklin, TN. Some of the videos from the month, as well as earlier ones, live on WMOT’s VuHaus channel, take a peek! We were visited by remarkable musicianship and we had lots of fun. Of course, I missed the Music Foggers the whole time! Could a crew trip to Nashville be in the cards before the end of the year? I sure hope so.
Today we dig into the archives for the title track from Sierra Hull’s Weighted Mind album, as we bring you the Music Fog recording. Sierra was recently nominated for two 2018 IBMA Awards for her collaboration with Missy Raines, plus for Mandolin Player of the Year. The ceremony just took place at the end of September, where she got to present Chris Thile with a Distinguished Achievement Award.
We can’t wait for the next chapter, especially to see what Sierra Hull will bring us with celestial, soulful, and artful sonics. In the meantime, enjoy this new Music Fog version of “Weighted Mind” filmed at 3rd & Lindsley Backstage in the winter of 2016.
