To welcome students, faculty, and staff back to campus, Hancher Auditorium and SCOPE Productions are presenting a free Fall Welcome Concert by the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, Sierra Ferrell.
One of the brightest young luminaries in roots music today, Sierra Ferrell brings a dose of beautifully strange magic to everything she touches and enchants audiences with her high-spirited live performances.
Following the release of 2024’s Trail of Flowers, the West Virginia-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist took home the Artist of the Year and Album of the Year prizes at the Americana Honors & Awards and won four Grammy Awards, including Best Americana Album, Best American Roots Performance, Best Americana Performance, and Best American Roots Song.
Hancher invites the campus and community to a fun-filled evening of music by the Iowa River. All ages welcome!
Opening the evening will be local artist, DJ Crimson Mask, and the Hawkeye Drumline.
