We’re shining a spotlight on an artist we had the pleasure of hosting on Tales from the Green Room back in 2023—an artist whose star has only continued to rise. Last weekend, she took home FOUR Grammy awards, cementing her place as one of the most captivating voices in modern Americana music.
Sierra Ferrell
The West Virginia-born singer-songwriter, now 36, was a dominant force at the 2025 Grammy Awards, winning:
Best Americana Album – Trail of Flowers
Best American Roots Song – “American Dreaming”
Best Americana Performance – “American Dreaming”
Best American Roots Performance – “Lighthouse”
These accolades not only highlight her exceptional artistry but also reflect the deep connection her music has forged with listeners worldwide.
Trail of Flowers
On her new album Trail Of Flowers, the Nashville-based artist expands her sound, revealing a wealth of wisdom within her wildly imaginative storytelling. In keeping with a musical upbringing that included playing everywhere from truck stops to boxcars to New Orleans street corners, the album journeys from bluegrass to old-time music to fantastically gritty honky-tonk and beyond, endlessly changing shape to accommodate her eccentric musicality. Trail Of Flowers ultimately fulfills Sierra’s longstanding mission of making music that transcends the barriers of time.
If you haven’t yet listened, now is the perfect time to dive into this award-winning record and experience the magic for yourself.
A Look Back at Our Interview with Sierra
We’ve been following Sierra’s meteoric rise since we first interviewed her at the Mount Tam Sound Summit Festival in 2023. That day, she graced us with her lovely voice, harmonizing alongside Ben Schneider as Lord Huron played in the background. Even then, it was clear she was on the cusp of something truly special.
That intimate conversation captured her passion, humor, and deep love for storytelling through song—an authenticity that continues to define her artistry today. If you haven’t yet heard this episode, it’s a must-listen!
A Live Experience Like No Other
Beyond her stunning recordings, Sierra has become known for her mesmerizing live performances. Whether she’s captivating intimate venues or commanding major festival stages across North America and Europe, her shows are a whirlwind of high-spirited energy, dazzling musicianship, and beautifully strange magic.
With Trail of Flowers solidifying her as one of the brightest young luminaries in roots music, we can’t wait to see where her journey takes her next.
