She is known for taking the instrument far beyond its Appalachian roots by blending bluegrass and jazz influences, Newgrass and Folk, into a sonic tapestry that has earned praise and recognition from a variety of national tastemakers including The Wall Street Journal, CBS Sunday Morning, NPR, and USA Today.
