LONG TIME COMING TOUR
music
“Meet West Virginia's Sierra Ferrell, now in Nashville and newly signed to Rounder. She's been wandering the country busking and adventuring, and she's got a tremendous voice that's joyously lilting, and at once vintage and contemporary. She sings with abandon, with a huge repertoire that spans jazz, country and cowboy music, with undertones of the blues.”
Her charismatic and arresting singing, which possesses a vintage quality, but Ferrell’s sound is also a throwback to traditional country music. While the Appalachian influences are strongly pronounced, the retro-sounding roots music on Long Time Coming incorporates other styles including early 20th-century jazz, Latin, and even calypso.

“In addition to a standout voice and catchy, jangling riffs that speak to music lovers,
Ferrell has an edge to her that demands you take notice. A quiet confidence paired with an internal poetic darkness that grabs you from the sea of talented Americana artists flooding the scene. Ferrell is a timeless artist that is perfect for this time.”
HERSTORY
With her spellbinding voice and time-bending sensibilities, Sierra Ferrell makes music that’s as fantastically vagabond as the artist herself.
Growing up in small-town West Virginia, the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist left home in her early 20s to journey across the country with a troupe of nomadic musicians, playing everywhere from truck stops to alleyways to freight-train boxcars speeding down the railroad tracks.
After years of living in her van and busking on the streets of New Orleans and Seattle, she moved to Nashville and soon landed a deal with Rounder Records on the strength of her magnetic live show.
Now, on her highly anticipated label debut Long Time Coming, Ferrells shares a dozen songs beautifully unbound by genre or era, instantly transporting her audience to an infinitely more enchanted world.
