Anyone else hitting it? Listened to Billy's 3 night run in St. Auggie last weekend during work on Nugs and those shows were ridiculous, so I am expecting HEAT on Thursday. Trying to pinpoint what we're going to get. And the best part is... all the assholes going Thursday will be at Luke Combs

One of the best bluegrass bands around. Him and Green Sky Bluegrass are my go-to.

I love me some Billy Strings. Friday night I watched one of his red rocks shows on youtube twice. I'm not a huge bluegrass fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I love his music.

He jumped on stage with String Cheese last night at the Daze Between Fest at the Dixie Brewery in Gentilly.

They played the Allman’s “Ramblin' Man”

I haven't been to Jazz Fest in 20+ years but will be there tomorrow to see that show. It'll be great!

Could you imagine preferring the music Luke Combs makes over Billy Strings? I can't.

Circa 2016 I was in Asheville for work and as I typically do, was searching for live music. I saw where a bluegrass dude was playing the Grey Eagle. Turns out it was Billy and he blew the fricking place away.

Good question, I don't even remember. I've recently become obsessed with his music though.

Billy is awesome. Makes me want to play guitar and quit trying all at the same time. LOL

The focus is all on Billy, which it should, but he plays rhythm at times, the mandolin player is TEARING shite UP!!!

Yeah, the mandolin player shreds. Honestly, every member of the band is extremely talented.
