hard to describe to someone who isn’t on the bus
I guess I have never understood how someone can listen to a whole lot of that genre. I can only take it in small bursts.
What are the primary aspects to be appreciated vs other bluegrass acts? Voice? Technical wizardry? Songwriting? (I'll admit that all bluegrass pretty mush "sounds the same to me".

if you are not predisposed/hardwired to the jamband scene, billy strings isnt going to move the needle for you, probably. if you are though...its the best thing going and maybe ever.
go to a show and see what you think. theres no way you wont have a good time, regardless. its happy music

i love bluegrass, grew up going to festivals. i like the instrumentation and improvisational aspect. listening to a mandolin/ fiddle/ banjo/ guitar trade breaks interpreting a melody does it for me.
i guess i could see how straight up "purist" bluegrass can wear on some
people, but a little tweak to the formula and some jazz chords go a long way. see: tony rice, david grisman, bela fleck, etc

I never understood why anyone would listen to shitty rap music but they do.
