I have been on RUclips since day one; this is the first time I’ve ever commented. Billy Strings, your talent is beyond compare; your humility is genuine and your passion is for all of us to enjoy. Excellent job pulling together a band of pure moonshine.
I've been listening to bluegrass from the 70's Heard all the greats Alison Krauss and Union Station stand out, but Billy Strings is something else Lord thank you!!!
Well put. I met Billy& his Dad @ winfield and it is true thee most genuine loveable down to earth gentlemen. ❤❤❤i got nothing but live for Billy Strings& crew family friends forever!❤❤❤❤
I love this combination of psychedelic and blue grass. It's something new. Country music isn't country anymore, it's commercial soulless crap but you are reviving the soul of real country music.
Billy became his guest of honor- that’s the BEST it’s ever been! Hangs on my wall can’t post a pic but lil banner- Devil gotta Banjo and a bong😂 he’s like “I can’t beat ya kid, so come sit and play”
How do I contact Billy's agent? I drank too much the other day and rewrote the lyrics to "Devil Went Down to Georgia" for Billy and the Boys instead. I don't want any money. I just want them to play it!
Billys own band is blowing his mind. Lol. He literally look up and says " what the fuck" in amazement as Alex and Jared just toss the flow to and fro. These kids are incredible.
I was there that night and let me be the first to say that he wasn't the only one saying "wtf" myself included. I still say that when I look back at that night. I hadn't ever experienced anything like it as far as music goes and I've seen them all(I'm an old head) these guys are legitimately the tightest band I've ever seen and they continuously out do themselves each time they play. The best BMFS show is the NEXT BMFS show. And he's doing it, selling out well in advance every venue and arena they perform in and with traditional stringed instruments. You could get all the great bluegrass pioneers and contemporary greats still alive all together on one bill under one roof and they still wouldn't be able to sell out one single night in some of the places Billy plays. I know now what the term "melting your face off" means...
@jamesb5669 I, being an old head myself, would agree. With the exception of Ravi Shankar, Billy is the greatest I've seen at controlling the energy of the room. He's a gift to be sure.
@franklee6301 thank God for Billy Strings. The man single handedly restored my hope in music of today. Have never and probably will never see anything like this again and I'm just so happy I get to hopefully grow old with these guys making great, nah fuck that, MINDBLOWING music into my elder years. BMFS!!!
I have seen Billy ten times this year. The last two in the UK and he NEVER fails to deliver the goods. Just a generational talent. We are all lucky to be around to witness this as it happens and as Billy's star continues to rise and shine brightly.
@@alro11Awesome!! I finally saw Billy live in Michigan for the first time this year. I subscribed to Nugs so I watch his streams. But there was nothing like his live show! The atmosphere was fantastic; Billy and the band were phenomenal (as expected) and the other fans were so friendly! I met some great friends, traded Billy stickers with some fans, was able to listen to my fave Away From The Mire at the rail and got some great merch. Can't wait til my next show!!
A friend told me I had to go to his show about 18 months ago. Been hooked since, just left the 3 day Asheville tour. These guys are the best entertainers in the world and it’s not close IMO
You should check out the Jam Rock scene if you like this type of bluegrass music, it's very similar. Check out a video called "Pigeons Playing Ping Pong - Lightning (live at the Peach Fest).
No, some of the new hip hop I wish I haven't heard blows my mind, like the stuff that's 50% cussing, 40% bass, 6% lyrics, 4% tune, 0% creativity, and 0% talent. Whats mind blowing is that it gets listened to
I am a fellow musician. I play 7 instruments, none of them professionally, just to compose... At the suggestion of a close friend, I wached and listened to about half of this video while I was on break at work. THERE IS NO WORD OR DESCRIPTION FOR WHAT IAM EXPERIENCING! MAYBE... KABOOOOMMMMM!!! This is the first time I've ever heard such rhythm and tempo in this style. I'm an old rocker, but your music is downright badass!!! Nicely done young man!!! Nicely done!
Docs grinning he can finally see and I know he loves what this kid has done for the music the OGs put out.. he’s tapped into all genres and that’s what makes him soo special! Many have no clue cuz they’ve only heard 2-3 songs never live, think he’s “Country”😂 it boggles my mind some my old Dead tour alums don’t care for him, “too much twang”🙄 I try to take them to shows- I send video and they love the live stuff but.. it’s like they feel they’re being unloyal to D&Co 🤯 hey Ima enjoy it ALL!!!
I just discovered these guys yesterday. These guys are on a different level. I'm 64 years old. I've seen Yes, Blue Oyster Cult, Ted Nugent, Kansas, Lynard Skynyrd, Peter Frampton, Queen, Brian Setser and many others. But this is on the highest level of anything I've seen or heard. Thank you, Billy Strings and your most talented band mates. I'm in awe! I'm in California. I hope you guys make it out this way sometime.
This band had touched the hearts of so many including myself! My parents are dead heads, my dad adores Dave Matthews Band…but this is the first time everyone in my family has collectively been getting tickets to any show we can get our hands on. It’s a thrill and has brought us as close as we’ve been since we all lived under the same roof. Your music makes me feel the joy of childhood which means so much during these crazy times. Much love💙

@@spongeorpete7289 any jam band live is better than any studio recording possible, a big part of this type of jam rock is the soundscape and journey you experience in real life through the light show and sound mixing. I'd actually argue most shows, regardless of genre, are better live, except for rap music. I've seen plenty of rappers live and have been greatly underwhelmed every single time, those are all just them playing the beat and only rapping half the words
Some of the BEST music in the world! Every member is mega-talented on their instrument and Billy could deserve no less. Mainstream music should have never overlooked them as the perfect sound in modern Bluegrass!
Thats the true jam band way. Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Grateful Dead, and some prog rock groups do this. Really impressive stuff. I think thats why Billy Strings speaks to other genre fans a lot. People who like psych rock or jam bands really tuning in to some bluegrass for the first time because of Billy.
Billy may be the most important guitarist to come along in the 21st Century. He's dragging the Bluegrass genre kicking and screaming into the modern age.
Been to several of his shows, yall. They have the communal feeling like it was a grateful dead concert or maybe a mini woodstock... yeah thats it, a mini woodstock. And this guy Billy Strings is really something to see and hear. This is a guy that is a guitar player on the order of Jimi Hendrix. He is the Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar! And he has the longevity of the Grateful Dead. History in the making. What are you going to tell YOUR kids when they ask you what you were doing back when Billy Strings was "pluckin a banjah"?
I grew up in a bluegrass home. My dad was a mandolin player and he and my uncles were the Benton Bros. Travelled, played the Opry (Once). They were asked to be a continuous act but my uncles wife , Hilda, wouldnt move from NC, LOL. Lots of stories. Ive heard lots of bluegrass and played many years. With this said. I will tell you that I have never seen guitar talent like Billy Strings. Never. Not acoustic. Billy is the Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar. And he is still getting even better. Love how he mixes bluegrass with the rock, psych and other similar genres. Absolute and complete talent. AS well as all the band members also. Incredible
Mega thanks to Billy, Billy, Jarrod, Royal, and Alex, along with their phenomenal crew! You're all amazing! You've absolutely ruined my workday now. 🤩 I love you all, but my beagle especially loves Billy Failing. Don't tell her I told you.
We are witnessing something once in a lifetime here folks. IDK if these guys are the next Beatles or not, but they are on their way to changing the game. This band is bringing back psychedelic, bluegrass, jam rock, and even a tinge of metal with these insane breakdowns they do.
I been sober a little over a year, and I'm not sure if it'd be the same without the influences from 'Home' and 'Renewal'. Alot of inspiration was pulled from the Realm of Billy Strings. Thank you for all you Fellas do. 💚
@@stevenpetrochko8225 I hear you, I think it's a reference to the Higher self and the promise lands through the Manifestation of our own reality. And the willingness to leave what no longer serves us behind. It's like an ode to "I am, That I am." But Billy's referring to Billy and his path to his higher self. That's atleast how I have internalized it. Great tune, phenomenal actually.
@@stevenpetrochko8225 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't weirded out by all the Masonry and Satanist temple of solomon shit. but hey, who am I to judge how someone sacrifices themselves to make a buck, yee ol monkey paw....
Billy... Brother Every Single Time I Hear Your Music It Takes Me Back To The Late 80's Early 90's When I Was A 10 Year Old Boy And My Grandpa Would Come Pick Me Up On Saturday and Sunday Mornings Here In Beautiful South Kentucky and Drive Around Feeding and Doing Other Morning Farm Work Listening to BLUEGRASS MUSIC And After The Farm Work, He Would Take Me to the Little Country Store and Get Me A Little Snack Cake and An Orange Juice, Then We Would Sit Out Front of the Store and Listen to the Other Old Men Talk and Tell Stories. It's Some of My Greatest Memories because My Grandpa Passed Away When I Was 12 and Through Your Music, You Help Take Me Back To Relive Those Times That I Got To Spend With Him! And For You and Your Music, I Thank You Sir!!!
@@noonefan Because I Can. Besides It Doesn't Matter In This New Fucked Up World We're Now In Where People Abbreviate Everything and Just Makeup New Words Everyday. I Don't Reckon I Have To Have A Reason?
I miss chorin’ with my gramps on the weekends. We’d feed the horses and shovel out the turds. But he always took me to a little diner in my hometown where him and half a dozen old timers would sit and solve the world’s problems. Or he’d harness a couple ponies and take a drive and we’d both be singing “oh my darlin clementine” at the top of our lungs. He had me fooled that the louder I’d sing, the faster the ponies would trot. Of course he was just tapping the reigns below my eyes. That farm and his way of life are all but gone now. My kids are growing up in the suburbs. Kinda pity them in a way.
In 100 years I hope this man is held in the same regard as Bethoven or Bach. What he is able to do with any musical instrument of choice is mind boggling. I've listened to this set dozens of times and every time it moves me. Everyone on stage is beyond talented. NEVER LOOSE THIS PASSION.
I can’t believe we get to experience this pure magic!!! I him in South Lake Tahoe in October. It’s best concert I’ve been to in my 55 years on this planet. It was like a religious experience... Can’t wait to see him again this August in Berkeley!! Again, pure magic!
This put me in a trance. I'm honestly blown away. this performance is a masterpiece, next level skill and cohesiveness between all the musicians. 20/10 performance
This guy is a modern day genius very under rated but the Billy fans can see how special he is.Love everything that he brings to music very unique and utmost professional talent I'm glad to have witnessed live.Every opportunity that is there I will go see Billy and the guys in action.I love talented humble genuine people.William Apostol you're the goat 🐐 the guy love you 💞🏴
I’m 55 years old and thought bluegrass had come and gone. I can’t stand to listen to the new pop country, and most of the music nowadays has no 38:04 soul. Billy has revived bluegrass, and his and his bands talent is almost unmatched as I see it. So thankful for him and his band. The last minute where he thanked the audience was more authentic than I’ve ever seen from a musician. We are so thankful for you and your band Billy. Hopefully I will be able to come see you one day live. Keep on truckin!
im 45 , grew up with Larry Keel , Acoustic Syndicate , David Via . Thought this was gone but now my grandkids will hear Billy, Molly, Sierra, Wyatt, Mason , these kids are carrying it for us Grateful AF ! 🐐✨ ❤⚡💙
When I listen & feel Billy play, I always feel he "Channels" from untapped Sources of some Universe, or perhaps even many, those far, far away. Some & only Musicians are able to hear and express a Language that is "other Worldly" if you get my drift.
I can't help listening to this marathon of good music every now and then.... Billy Strings and his band kept us as if hypnotized throughout 38 minutes non stop, which is wonderful... Many thanks to all...!!!
This is so beautiful. A huge thank you to Billy and the entire crew for this incredibly well-produced video. It will be on repeat for the balance of the year, and into the next! Happy Holidays everyone! And have a happy, healthy and safe New Year!
Totally the best performance ive ever seen and heard!❤ Mindblowing! I love every comment that i read. Billy Strings and his band are some of the best musicians ive ever seen. They are so connected. I am so glad that i discovered them during a Willie Nelson concert and got to see these legends live twice now! Thank you Billy Strings and your bandmates for bringing your talents and enjoyment of playing to all of your fans😊❤🌈🎶
Smiling ear to ear...very rare...listening to Billy...sipping a beer...smoked a little bud...feeling content as i get ready to sell in my warehouse of used goods i procured from the rich neighborhoods that surround me...Been loving and listening to Billy through alot..looking forward to what the future will bring...shout out to Bella...and a big thank you to Billy and the Band(including those in the background ) I loved Billy first but i truly love you all!!! 😍
I am having a trippy realization that all I'm staring at is 25-30 or so strings being plucked and vibrated. One of those realizations that some kind of a God is out there, if those strings can create this.
Yeah same for me! Discoverd him last tuesday and my God I am so jealous of everybody who has see them live already! Much love back from the Netherlands! Hope you can see them soon!
Got back from Greensboro yesterday and was absolutely floored as usual. Always bringing the heat and really brought it coming back to the US the other night!
This is INCREDIBLE! From a parking lot in McKees Rocks, to the Roxian Theater, all the way to Red Rocks.. and beyond!! What a journey. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🤘
Creek is my favorite live song. That was un-f'ng-believable. When they went back into Creek's final verse I had tears of joy streaming down my face while singing at the top of my lungs. Thank you guys!
Hats off to you Billy Strings. What an amazing talent and what a feat it is to find talent like Royal Masat (bass), Alex Hargreaves (fiddle) and the picking of Billy Failing (banjo), Jarrod Walker (mandolin) together this team is without a doubt incomparable. Could listen and watch the skills of these guys endlessly.
Hey Billy! I have seen you many times and each and every time it's been amazing! You have gotten better and better over the years, although that seems impossible after each show because it seems as if you have brought us all to levels that seem unsurpassable. Boston last summer were two shows I thought could not be any better. Please come back to Boston! I am an old Jerry Garcia fanatic (I saw him over 100 times) and you have made music amazing, and sacred again.
Sitting backstage working costumes for a show rn, I clicked on the vid thinking I'd check out a few minutes of this and next thing I know I get sucked in, sat through the whole thing...
Here's how I found you... Heard a beautiful ballad that pulled at my heart, playing from a neighbor's house. Love the instrumentation of bluegrass, being a dulcimer player.... so... I walked over and said WHO is this amazing musician!?!? Does anyone know what the ballad might be?. I want to listen to it again over and over.

Look up Daniel Donato. Not exactly the same but this with a telecaster
Greensky Bluegrass showed him the way and he ran with it.
There are loads of bands/artists that have been doing this style for years. Billy is just doing it better than any of them!
also Sturgill Simpson
Yup. And to this day Billy says GSBG is his favorite band in the world
The devil just bowed his head cause he knows he's been beat.
Will it be a golden guitar he lays at Billy's feet?

Must be 7 does it for me. Has me shouting the yrs I've been clean. Must be 10 now.
@@stevenpetrochko8225 I hear you, I think it's a reference to the Higher self and the promise lands through the Manifestation of our own reality. And the willingness to leave what no longer serves us behind. It's like an ode to "I am, That I am." But Billy's referring to Billy and his path to his higher self. That's atleast how I have internalized it. Great tune, phenomenal actually.
@@stevenpetrochko8225 I'd be lying if I said I wasn't weirded out by all the Masonry and Satanist temple of solomon shit. but hey, who am I to judge how someone sacrifices themselves to make a buck, yee ol monkey paw....
Agreed. Three years clean too, this music helps me everyday.✌️
I'm trying right now August just found Billy last night in the middle of a sleepless night of hell but I'm loving the music
Hear a little Tom Morello right there ❤love that 9:43
first time hearing this artist and instantly taken back to the Grateful Dead
He used to do amazing Dead covers, you can find them on youtube.
Jerry's a big fan of Billy's. He's just waiting patiently for Billy to make his way to heaven so they can jam for eternity.
Love the Turmoil Tease
Yea that got a lot of people😂
I'm not sure he did it on purpose.
The slightest Warf Rat hidin in there too!! Great show!!
Billy... Brother Every Single Time I Hear Your Music It Takes Me Back To The Late 80's Early 90's When I Was A 10 Year Old Boy And My Grandpa Would Come Pick Me Up On Saturday and Sunday Mornings Here In Beautiful South Kentucky and Drive Around Feeding and Doing Other Morning Farm Work Listening to BLUEGRASS MUSIC And After The Farm Work, He Would Take Me to the Little Country Store and Get Me A Little Snack Cake and An Orange Juice, Then We Would Sit Out Front of the Store and Listen to the Other Old Men Talk and Tell Stories. It's Some of My Greatest Memories because My Grandpa Passed Away When I Was 12 and Through Your Music, You Help Take Me Back To Relive Those Times That I Got To Spend With Him! And For You and Your Music, I Thank You Sir!!!
Why do you capitalize each word? I've seen others do this and can't figure out why. Just curious.
@@noonefan Because I Can. Besides It Doesn't Matter In This New Fucked Up World We're Now In Where People Abbreviate Everything and Just Makeup New Words Everyday. I Don't Reckon I Have To Have A Reason?
@@jasoneastham2546i think hes wondering if its intentional or not. Seems like a waste of time to capitalize every word lol
@@jasoneastham2546 hell ya brother
I miss chorin’ with my gramps on the weekends. We’d feed the horses and shovel out the turds. But he always took me to a little diner in my hometown where him and half a dozen old timers would sit and solve the world’s problems. Or he’d harness a couple ponies and take a drive and we’d both be singing “oh my darlin clementine” at the top of our lungs. He had me fooled that the louder I’d sing, the faster the ponies would trot. Of course he was just tapping the reigns below my eyes. That farm and his way of life are all but gone now. My kids are growing up in the suburbs. Kinda pity them in a way.
In 100 years I hope this man is held in the same regard as Bethoven or Bach. What he is able to do with any musical instrument of choice is mind boggling. I've listened to this set dozens of times and every time it moves me. Everyone on stage is beyond talented. NEVER LOOSE THIS PASSION.
Big time ditto!!!
I thank the Lord above for Billy strings. The fiddle player in this band is truly amazing too
Can't wait for you guys to start dropping full live concert albums!!!!
You are aware of the Billy Strings Archive channel on You tube? Lots already for nothing...but I'll buy anything he releases, that's for sure!
Yes, the TouchTunes jukebox needs it especially.
I can’t believe we get to experience this pure magic!!! I him in South Lake Tahoe in October. It’s best concert I’ve been to in my 55 years on this planet. It was like a religious experience... Can’t wait to see him again this August in Berkeley!! Again, pure magic!
The Ryman Shows Were Really Good, my first trip to the Ryman
2023
This put me in a trance. I'm honestly blown away. this performance is a masterpiece, next level skill and cohesiveness between all the musicians. 20/10 performance
Quite incredible to hear and watch ain't it?
Billy’s love of, and passion for, music is truly a gift to the world. Thank you all💪❤️✨🌎
This guy is a modern day genius very under rated but the Billy fans can see how special he is.Love everything that he brings to music very unique and utmost professional talent I'm glad to have witnessed live.Every opportunity that is there I will go see Billy and the guys in action.I love talented humble genuine people.William Apostol you're the goat 🐐 the guy love you 💞🏴
Billy strings.
The world needs you, your amazing.
Stay safe and stay alive please.
That's the main thing ! STAY ALIVE ! WE NEED DECADES OF THIS MUSIC YOUR MAKING !
🔥This is about as "Billy Strings" as it gets right here🔥
I’m 55 years old and thought bluegrass had come and gone. I can’t stand to listen to the new pop country, and most of the music nowadays has no 38:04 soul. Billy has revived bluegrass, and his and his bands talent is almost unmatched as I see it. So thankful for him and his band.
The last minute where he thanked the audience was more authentic than I’ve ever seen from a musician. We are so thankful for you and your band Billy. Hopefully I will be able to come see you one day live. Keep on truckin!
im 45 , grew up with Larry Keel , Acoustic Syndicate , David Via .
Thought this was gone but now my grandkids will hear Billy, Molly, Sierra, Wyatt, Mason , these kids are carrying it for us
Grateful AF ! 🐐✨
❤⚡💙
I heard some guy say Billy was a fast picker but played with no soul. I about lost it.😐
@@spencertherren6806
NO SOUL!!!!
I think the guy that said that was projecting. Billy plays with a lot of soul!
@@crocodilegrundee4514 Best live show's I've ever seen.
I just keep listening to it. Float down stream for like 40 minutes. Feels like Home, The Michigan Backwoods❤
August? Any relation to WAZZY?
If this is what Michigan back woods feels like
SIGN ME UP!!
When I listen & feel Billy play, I always feel he "Channels" from untapped Sources of some Universe, or perhaps even many, those far, far away. Some & only Musicians are able to hear and express a Language that is "other Worldly" if you get my drift.
I can't help listening to this marathon of good music every now and then.... Billy Strings and his band kept us as if hypnotized throughout 38 minutes non stop, which is wonderful... Many thanks to all...!!!
Best live show I've ever been to, never would have thought it would be a bluegrass band.
This is so beautiful. A huge thank you to Billy and the entire crew for this incredibly well-produced video. It will be on repeat for the balance of the year, and into the next! Happy Holidays everyone! And have a happy, healthy and safe New Year!
Give this man a fender telecaster and watch the world burn
Absolutely immense. Major thanks to Billy and the boys and all involved. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best video on RUclips
Totally the best performance ive ever seen and heard!❤ Mindblowing! I love every comment that i read. Billy Strings and his band are some of the best musicians ive ever seen. They are so connected. I am so glad that i discovered them during a Willie Nelson concert and got to see these legends live twice now! Thank you Billy Strings and your bandmates for bringing your talents and enjoyment of playing to all of your fans😊❤🌈🎶
WHEW! Damn! Incredible band!
I’m so grateful for good music.. I was in a bad mood and Billy just snapped me back in alignment.. source energy music for sure
We need a 3 hour live album from Billy.
Soon!
July 12. Live volume 1
Awesome
BilybStrings. The Genuine Article, The Real McCoy. Thank you God. I am grateful.
Smiling ear to ear...very rare...listening to Billy...sipping a beer...smoked a little bud...feeling content as i get ready to sell in my warehouse of used goods i procured from the rich neighborhoods that surround me...Been loving and listening to Billy through alot..looking forward to what the future will bring...shout out to Bella...and a big thank you to Billy and the Band(including those in the background ) I loved Billy first but i truly love you all!!! 😍
Billy (MFing) Failing jam out of Must Be Seven into Creek is the baddest fucking banjo I’ve heard in my entire life. I mean what the FUCK 🔥🤣
Their tour bus must be a Delorean that makes regular stops in San Francisco, 1967.
I am having a trippy realization that all I'm staring at is 25-30 or so strings being plucked and vibrated. One of those realizations that some kind of a God is out there, if those strings can create this.
They definitely are God's gift to us peasants and I, for one, cannot be more grateful! I also can't wait to see what's to come. BMFS!
Once in a lifetime musician, writer, with amazing musicians
This is a pretty good performance, the aliens watching us would like it .
Seeing Billy Strings live just became my #1 on my bucket goal list, god damn! Much love from Sweden!
Yeah same for me! Discoverd him last tuesday and my God I am so jealous of everybody who has see them live already! Much love back from the Netherlands! Hope you can see them soon!
BMFS the🐐
Glad I could contribute 10,000 views to the total 🙏
This is absolutely the best 38 minutes ever!! I know i have said it before, but my blood pressure actually sky rockets every time i watch this❤❤❤❤❤
Production quality on this one is awesome.
Real...live...music. Thank you Billy and your all star bandmates for the music, the energy, and the humility. See you in NOLA for NYE!
Got back from Greensboro yesterday and was absolutely floored as usual. Always bringing the heat and really brought it coming back to the US the other night!
Seriously?!? That couldn't have been more KILLER!
@renmakesmusic this is Americas rep if you hold a world music event. America may not agree, but they should.
The only band that can be mentioned along with the Grateful Dead
RIP! Jerry Garcia but in general, better musicians than the Grateful Dead!
@@ronmiller171 Talking more about playing music for the love of it.
Audio quality is way better than nugs I love it
This is INCREDIBLE! From a parking lot in McKees Rocks, to the Roxian Theater, all the way to Red Rocks.. and beyond!! What a journey. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🤘
I've been right there with starting at the rocks, lol. See ya Wednesday
Somehow I missed McKees Rocks, but I was there when he opened for Greensky at Stage AE and stole the show
I was lucky enough to see this in person. It was mind blowing!!
Holy cow that just blew my mind! Billy!
Creek is my favorite live song. That was un-f'ng-believable. When they went back into Creek's final verse I had tears of joy streaming down my face while singing at the top of my lungs. Thank you guys!
Loving your new show Billy, bill and rest of band
You're the baddest best newer band ever
Ive been a bluegrasser for over 40 years. THIS is it! Reminds me of the best of Bill Monroe and Yes.
The New Jerry ❤
I have said this from the beginning,and will say it again;Who,I say .Who,can out play billy strings?🎶
I was there❤
U lucky fucking❤🦆
I woulda left with a soaked pants. That’s was beautiful
I am continually impressed by Billy and his crew. What an amazing collection of humans.
Hats off to you Billy Strings. What an amazing talent and what a feat it is to find talent like Royal Masat (bass), Alex Hargreaves (fiddle) and the picking of Billy Failing (banjo), Jarrod Walker (mandolin) together this team is without a doubt incomparable. Could listen and watch the skills of these guys endlessly.
On my list of favorite musicians billy is in the top 5 with Hendrix
This is just delightful. I can't even describe how much I love this band's music. Jamz be jamming!!!
For the new fans -
Pyramid Country 18:48
Must Be Seven 27:18
Hey Billy! I have seen you many times and each and every time it's been amazing! You have gotten better and better over the years, although that seems impossible after each show because it seems as if you have brought us all to levels that seem unsurpassable. Boston last summer were two shows I thought could not be any better. Please come back to Boston! I am an old Jerry Garcia fanatic (I saw him over 100 times) and you have made music amazing, and sacred again.
Fookin' Eh !
Toward the end of that Creek, I was reminded of the Music City Roots video. My, how far they've come.
actually got chills and tears in my eyes watching this.
Sitting backstage working costumes for a show rn, I clicked on the vid thinking I'd check out a few minutes of this and next thing I know I get sucked in, sat through the whole thing...
I love bluegrass because each member is as talented as the next, could take center stage anytime. Awesome.
I don’t care what all the rappers say Billy is the OG Goat 🐐
Holly shit.. that was the most rock n roll fkn thing I've ever seen.. 38 minutes of amazing music
Another spectacle of talent from this guys!! I'm so lucky to have seen them in their prime!! I wish you all the best and i will see you soon!!
Complete 🔥 and quintessential BMFS!⚡️🐐
Here's how I found you... Heard a beautiful ballad that pulled at my heart, playing from a neighbor's house. Love the instrumentation of bluegrass, being a dulcimer player.... so... I walked over and said WHO is this amazing musician!?!? Does anyone know what the ballad might be?. I want to listen to it again over and over.
