Sierra Ferrell at Ardmore Music Hall
Between songs during her superb September performance at WXPN’s XPoNential Music Festival, someone asked Sierra Ferrell where she was from. Her response: “Jupiter.” Actually, she’s from West Virginia. But her classic country voice is otherworldly—like Patsy Cline beamed in from another galaxy. Dripping with personality, her eclectic new album, Long Time Coming, will make you swoon.
