well, from an 80 year old who used to promote a bluegrass festival, you are just the greatest thing ever. Solid musicians, great voice and harmony. I have just discovered you lately and you are my chair exercise music for the last solid week. I just pray covid is over soon and I can have the pleasure of seeing you live. I hired such people as Jim and Jesse, Del McCoury, Raymond Fairchild, The Lewis Family and the Osbourne brothers. You would have been on the top of my list.
at least 5 times Id say closer to 10 for the entire set and turmoil and tinfoil maybe double that. Its funny compared to his recent shows this isn't even all that amazing but yet here I am once again.

Yes, I guess you could say that they're improving. Right now, most all of us think they're the best bluegrass band in the world (and that includes the Dusters, Yonder, Greehsky, Salmon).

This man is phenomenal. I have listened to Bluegrass for 50 years and this group is as tight as any I have heard--ever. And Billy has magic fingers and voice. What amazing talent.
Very easy answer, a addict always is surrounded by other addicts. Only the best. Someone onces said the music is a part of my body. I speak with my mouth and my soul plays music.

Just discovered Mr. Strings within the year. Forever will love his music. We will meet one day. I write country songs and am obscure, for now.. lyricist
Hello 👋 Marie. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
So.. My friend introduced me to Billy Strings music three days ago. Now it's been three days of listening to Billy Strings non-stop. I even had a dream about him and the band 😂 ... I think I recognize this feeling... I'm in love!
I LOVE this guy!! HUGE Doc Watson fan all of my life. My dad played guitar and sang his songs. I have loved bluegrass forever. I currently pet sit for Steve Kaufman ...who played at my wedding! Check out Steve Kaufman's flatpicking .... several time world champion flatpicker......and teacher to SO many people. ❤️ Tell him Raechel Mason says, "Hi". ty for posting this
I had one month when I could not listen to anything but Billy. It has happened to me a few times in my life with a few bands of different genres but it is wonderful when it happens. Thank You Billy for your prodigal thinking..Smart music.(and it’s funny when you hear the wonderful musicians playing increadible solos, no way anyone can top that, Billy always does)
Billy Strings is like Hendrix if he had played bluegrass !!! :)) His band is incredible !! So much talent in young musicians ..... all is not lost. :))

There is a chosen one walking amongst us, and his name, oddly enough is "String" for some reason. I just can`t anymore, my guitarplayers heart is overflowing with joy and good vibrations, everytime I hear Billie play. What a delightful person.
Yeah man! The sound engineer was on POINT! They sounded amazing...especially outside with no backdrop and kinda windy. Andy Lytle I believe is the sound guy.
It's like four pilots taking one plane up for improvised aerobatics and you just wonder if they will be able to land it safely before it becomes the most glorious fireworks explosion you ever saw.
This is so good. Just started listening to Billy Strings and lovin it. My cousin played in Front Porch String Band when I was a kid so it's always been a part of my life. I know greatness when I hear it in Bluegrass and they surpassed it after 30 seconds of playing and singing. Jammin out!!!
That is the ABSOLUTE best rendition of Dreadful Wind and Rain I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. @14:00 I love billy more and more everytime I put on a new show of his.
Speechless.........simply amazing . I just discoveredt this dude about 3 hours ago....cant stop listening. !!! Feel good music ,,.And we can say as much about his bandnmates..... thanks
This whole band is just so easy to listen to. I'll start playing the newest video posted and wind up 3 hrs later listening to their live performances. Shout out to the sound techs for their wizardry. Billy Strings is a once in a lifetime musician and a phenomenal guitarist. Blown away again!
My son started following Billy around 4 years ago. I'm hooked on his music now and can't stop listening. We saw him live at Red Rocks last summer! I love this music, such talented musicians, great songwriting and they put everything they've got into it. I love you guys. Can't wait till we can see you live in Colorado again....
Love how he casually throws in old murder ballads with his own tunes. His playing is top notch but so is his writing. His songs are instant classics and sounds just as good if not better than the classics he plays in his live shows.
A Man Brother Kyle! I have to laugh when Billy throws down on those death tunes…almost makes a man laugh that a guy his age can play & sing like he’s older than dirt! Sick’um Billy!
Im glad these young men are keeping bluegrass alive..im 59 yo and was raised on it down in the blue ridge mountain.s.. Of good ol virginia...cheer.s And keep up the great music.thank.s..
Billy strings is my go to for everyspect of life, feeling sad? Let Billy sing you into happy land! I love this man more than his own mama does, I swear it! Ok maybe that's a bit much but♥️😁♥️
Hello 👋 Dear. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
I like both, but do see your point for sure. I wouldn't mind if Billy took up the mantle of the Dead someday for sure. For me these guys in their current version are a lot like New Riders of the Purple Sage. Would be so cool if they opened for Dead and Co sometime, or if Billy played an acoustic set with them.
Never seen someone jump on stage uninvited and be treated like a friend. Billy's hand in his shoulder 🙂. Glad the guy was harmless but shows Billy's humbleness in dealing with the guy🖤❤
Amazing! Talent from another planet. I know Billy is the glue that binds the band. But the I'd like to give a huge heads up to the bass player Royal. Fine thumpin!
I’ve played bluegrass at many many festivals.... some small, and some very big. But I have never seen the audience get into the music like this. Magical!
Billy Strings for president he can bring the world together with perfect harmony an his story telling i been a fan for awhile these guys have such amazing talent an bring peace to my soul when i turn on my playlist daily! Great job yalls!
You guys give us hope, kind of like when the Black Crows first came out shot in the arm for southern rock. Heard you a few years back when you were a kid. Really like your work. Ja bless and protect.
I came across the basement "Dust In A Baggie" video about a month ago, and couldn't believe it. I need to see these guys, and I'm not even a bluegrass fan. Stellar musicianship.
A little over 6 months ago was when I first heard of him, and fell in love with his sound immediately. Until recently, he seemed to be everywhere, sitting in with everyone. Now, not so much. When "all this" is over, I'll be happy to travel long distance to see Billy Strings and his band live. EZ
I first came across his videos about 3 months ago. He definitely has magic fingers. The whole band is super talented. I bought a ukulele about 3 years ago. He makes me want to toss it in the garbage and practice all at the same time.
What else can be said but D..n!! This is the best Bluegrass/Newgrass band traveling and touring these days. Billy's voice and playing continues to improve and the other members are stellar performers . Just the jam for these isolation days. A must see live on the festival circuit one day if he ever comes back to NC or Virginia! The Pied Pipers of Bluegrass, they will move this music forward!! Enjoyed best with headphones unless you want to wake up the whole neighborhood!!
It's a grey sunday afternoon, I've got a nice joint, nice food and drinks, crocheting a cardigan and the day of tomorrow and discovering a whole new world of music! I never wanted to see a band so bad as this! Man this guy is so young, I hope he has a little bit of Mick Jagger genes and is still rocking in his 80's
Splendid group of musicians....talent is from another galaxy! Had tickets to catch these guys at MerleFest. The RUclips rabbit hole comes through again! Wash your hands to this jam and stay healthy!
I wanna sit on the back porch at sugarlands distillery in Gatlinburg with Billy playing I'm sure the entire crowd of people in Gatlinburg would be crowded in in!!!!!
Ive been listening to guitar picking my whole life and u make a smile on my face every time i listen to u man u keep making that shit that touches the soul and the young people wont have any choice but to love u. Man u arw one of the chosen ones. Keep it up
George Jones "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes"... These guys will fill their shoes. Everything from Bill Monroe, to IIId Tyme Out, these guys are more solid than anything ever before them. Vocals, lyrics, and spot on instrumentals. YOU WILL BE THE FUTURE OF BLUEGRASS SOUND. YOU ACTUALLY ALREADY ARE. Thank you for the change, keep doing what your doing, you have changed my bluegrass style already and I have been playing guitar, banjo mandolin and fiddle for over 40 years professionally. CONGRATS ON THE "NEW GRASS" sound
I'm happy to know the back beat music will carry on after I'm long after my old ass is gone. It's funny how folks turn their nose up when you ask them if they like bluegrass but when you stick them in front of a good bluegrass there foot never stops tapping on the back beat
Billy Strings is the Jimi Hendrix of bluegrass🤯
Like is an unstatement, \where is the LOVE button!

YOU WILL BE THE FUTURE OF BLUEGRASS SOUND. YOU ACTUALLY ALREADY ARE.
Thank you for the change, keep doing what your doing, you have changed my bluegrass style already and I have been playing guitar, banjo mandolin and fiddle for over 40 years professionally.

I'm happy to know the back beat music will carry on after I'm long after my old ass is gone. It's funny how folks turn their nose up when you ask them if they like bluegrass but when you stick them in front of a good bluegrass there foot never stops tapping on the back beat
I'm proud to say I have been a fan of Billy Strings since the green shirt guy days 😀
Love watching Ally save Billy and then Billy save Cory back to back. What a team! What a band! What a show! Thank you so much! ❤️
