who else is going? Should be a hoot.
Fantastic venue for a show and the weather will be spectacular

There’s a BBQ festival going on nearby today and tomorrow, leftover salmon is headlining sat afternoon so I’d say it’s likely that uncle Vince will sit in with billy after their set.

Perfect weather for sure.
I've never been to the Orion yet, but it looks really nice.
I always loved when Huntsville had Big Spring Jam at Big Spring Park this time of year.

it’s among the best outdoor venues I’ve ever been. Super comfortable, great sound, really nice layout around it and completely hassle free. No cops or aggressive security either. Last year it was almost unbearably hot but this will be perfect

shows are sold out but I see there’s tix on cash or trade. You should go

I would like to go, but I live a hundred fifty miles away these days and money is a bit tight at the moment.
If it were happening next week, it wouldn't be a problem.
My first Social Security payment is due this next week

I'm sure I will be able to pick you right out.
Have a great time.
If you go to the BBQ festival, make sure to try the Whitt's.

I agree! Saw Phish there last year and really liked the venue. Enjoy the shows man!

BMFS is going to be featured on Ringo Star's album which comes out in January. Ringo is also playing at the Ryman on January 14-15. I think there's a really good chance that Billy has a sit-in at one or both the shows

How good were the songs off the new album live...did they put the "Billy Magic" on it or what?

very very good. He’s got a way with hooks and lyrical arrangements. I like them all and I think “in the clear” might be his best yet…it’s a perfect song

highlight of 1st set was definitely the new tune malfunction junction. 2nd set with leftover salmon up to stratosphere blues (which was great). Ended a capella

been a lot of places and seen a lot of shows. Orion amp is way way up there on the list. If there’s someone playing there you like you really should go it’s a great weekend and a very cool area…zero hassle

next up for us is Memphis in dec then NYE in Nola

another favorite. between that and escanaba it's been cool to see him writing more bela/ tony rice style tunes.

speaking of, ive had stomping grounds in heavy rotation since sierra hull played it the other night. that was great

2022 - 1 show
2023 - 2 shows
2024 - all 3 in including NYE

Each year I wished for one more show as soon as it ended. The anticipation of a 3 show run is fuel for my musical soul for the next 2 months.
