Shout out to Sierra Ferrell, who has been keeping me and my boys going all week long during our first week back to school. The folk artist who plays a little bluegrass, gypsy jazz as it’s once been called by somebody is so damn good, can’t get enough of this Tiny Desk!!! Listen to her new album “Trail of Flowers” now.
