How did Sierra Ferrell go from singing on street corners to performing alongside Zach Bryan and Post Malone? Her rise is unlike anything else in country and folk music. With a voice that feels pulled from another era, Sierra spent years busking, hopping trains, and honing her craft in dive bars before breaking into the mainstream. But behind the music was a struggle—one that nearly cost her everything.
In this video, we dive deep into Sierra Ferrell’s incredible journey, exploring:
🎵 Her early years of busking and train-hopping
🎶 The struggles she faced on the road
