2026 promises to be another busy year for Ferrell. She has become one of Nashville’s most-wanted musicians, whose viral ascent has brought her to much-larger stages and screens,

"Ferrell built her act not from the comfort of a bedroom but in freight-train boxcars, and by playing on the streets as a romantic musical vagabond,” The New Yorker noted.

From growing up in small-town West Virginia to singing Shania Twain covers at 7 years old in a dead-end bar, to joining a traveling pack of homeless musicians and busking on the streets of New Orleans and Seattle, Ferrell brings her signature sense of eclecticism to every venue, truck stop or alleyway she plays, driven by the constant desire to expand her audience's capacity for wonder.”

More about Sierra Ferrell: Ferrell’s 2025 started with a remarkable sweep of four wins at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards – taking home trophies for Best Americana Album (“Trail of Flowers”), Best Americana Performance (“American Dreaming”), Best American Roots Song (“American Dreaming”) and Best American Roots Performance (“Lighthouse”). The year continued with Ferrell bringing her unmistakable vocals to her harmony-laden rendition of Dottie West’s classic tune, “A Lesson In Leavin’ ” with Nikki Lane; lending her voice to new songs from Jesse Welles, Joe Jonas, Kashus Culpepper and Shaboozey; in addition to performing with Post Malone on every night of his stadium tour with Jelly Roll; DJ-ing with Diplo; writing with Zella Day & Beau Bedford’s Chaparelle; recording with LA LOM; playing festivals; an arena run with Mumford & Sons; singing in the streets; and headlining dozens of sold-out shows across the country.
