She’s one of the best mandolinists on the planet, she signed her first record deal with Rounder Records at the age of 13 and she has studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston while winning numerous awards. She also exhibits a very forward-thinking approach, which has garnered her a wide array of collaborations while being part of the central focus for her latest album. It’s called “A Tip Toe High Wire” and it was officially self-released on March 7 by Hull. As part of her tour in support of the full-length, Hull is going to be performing at the Colonial Theatre in Keene on March 21 starting at 8 p.m.
