  • Billy Strings is not only a world class musician but he is a humble person. I reached out to give him a high five or shake his hand and he took my hand a shook it right back. I had never seen Chris Thile or Cory Henry before, and they were amazing. It was an incredible show.

      Diddy said the industry only elevates people without talent, bc then the "artists" know they're only successful bc the industry allowed them to be and it can be taken away at any time. It's literally designed to avoid elevating talented musicians. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

    This whole show was pure magic. Just perfect all night. For folks who asked.. At one point during the show Chris said.. Should we play the rest with just one shoe off. And they both kneeled down at the same time and indeed took a shoe off. It was such a fun little moment out of many. At one point Chris's shoe came untied and Billy bent down and tied it. Chris says.. See Billy has respect for his elders lol he had everyone cracking up. This little theater in Lincoln center was renovated and now is easily one of the most amazing acoustically sounding rooms you could ever see a performance at. Absolutely perfect for this stripped down show. I really hope they play together some more. They only practiced a little together before this and it was like they'd been playing together their whole lives. So grateful to have been there.

Chris has been part of several groups and 8've been lucky enough to see him live with two of them for a total of 5 times I think. I don't know as much about Cory Henry, but I'll be checking out his solo stuff and listening to more Snarky Puppy, that's for sure! this sounds like it was a magical night.

    l watched Linda Ronstadt in Dallas Memorial Auditorium on the 'Get Closer' tour while singing 'Desperado" put the mic down and sing to a packed house the last verse and ending. The place went silent and she belted that out so loud and perfect crystal clear throughout the entire arena that then and there she was making her case as the greatest rock/country/folk/hispanic singer of all time. it was amazing and l never will forget it and get teary eyed thinking about it. Love this video.
