In addition to being my favorite singer in the world right now, I don't think Sierra Ferrell gets enough credit for the visual aspect of her game. Her videos, even as an unknown, seemed to leave an indelible impression on all who caught them...the settings, her outfits, and always an obviously live vocal nailed perfectly...they're positively spellbinding. People tend to think of music videos as quaint 80s/90s relics, but there's a way to integrate it into current cellphone/social media culture as an attention-grabber seeing as they're just as accessible as an audio track, and boy has she blazed a trail that way.

As an emerging musician I’m trying to break into the algorithm with my new song and hoping to make the right connections to promote my song ‘Time Is Running Out’. It’s a duet I wrote, a candid conversation between two people. One person saying they have nothing left to give and the other person trying to encourage them that they have so much more to give. I hope you can take some time to give it a listen and share it. Thank you.

I really enjoyed your story about discovering Sierra and learning the insight with you helping to get her signed with Rounder Records. I came across her YouTube videos in around 2019 and have been excited about the bloom of her career these last few years. Right away I knew she could be successful because of her uniqueness and talent. As a child I remember seeing my first professional performer and I too got goosebumps. In that moment I knew i wanted to be a performer too. I think as artists we connect with the energy and emotion that moves us in a way that is so compelling to that moment of synergy.

Her talent was very clear to Gary and me from that video (in Your Dreams)
