"Sierra is a strong young talent bursting onto the folk scene. Listen to this woman; she is a
sage and utterly her own person. Her guitar style will dazzle you as her voice soothes and
inspires."
-- Nerissa Nields, The Nields
"Sierra's music is seductively dark, guiding the listener through intense layers of emotion and
thought. Her rich alto delivers poetic, yet forthright lyrics set to expressive guitar work."
-- Theresa Condito
"There are players out there and there are artists... Sierra is an artist. She has so much raw
talent and feel. These are things that cant truly be taught, you either have it or you dont. I've
worked with some of the top people in the industry, including U2, Madonna, Earth Wind and
Fire, and many others, and feel like I know real talent when I hear it. "
-- Mike
McKnight
Sierra's music is brutally humanistic, a microcosm of folk. Resonating with natural, cathartic insight, her lyrics transcend politics to grapple with the emotional, individual experience of living in a down-right vexing world.
Raised in the rural Connecticut town of Thomaston to the sounds of James Taylor, Sierra received her first guitar from her father, a musician himself. She matured into an enthusiastic, self-reliant musical artist and performer, as well as an innovative songwriter. After the sudden death of her brother in 1996, she was able to find solace through music.
In the words of this Boston-based acoustic folk singer, Music is a release; it creates an outlet to plug into the soul of things. Sensuous, thoughtful, and unique, Sierra plays fiercely and honestly. Yet her style is subtle and smooth, her voice textured, and her guitar playing organic and passionate. Through her evocative lyrics and composition, Sierra allows her audience an honest glimpse of her soul as well as the ability to open themselves to their own.
Sierra, who plays regularly in Boston, has entertained at T.T. the Bears, the Abbey Lounge, Sky Bar, The Lizard Lounge, Speak-out Festivals, Radio Bean Café, Club Passim, TRIBE, and the Love Makes a Family Art Exhibition. She has hosted open-mic at Bohemian pizza, performed at the Tsunami Benefit Concert, and has opened for the Vagina Monologues. Her radio performances include air time with Nerissa Nields on 88.5 WFCR out of Amherst, MA, and a slot at WRUV out of Burlington, VT. In 1999, Sierra recorded her debut album entitled Depleted Oxygen with producer Michael Mendell in New York City and is currently recording an EP with Indecent Music Productions.
