Billy strings - Holy Cow!

[Tlarwa]

Watched a video of a concert he did to an empty Red Rocks amphitheater in 2020 on my United flight to San Diego today. Holy shit! I’ve heard the name, but never any of his music. What a fantastic surprise. If you like bluegrass and jam bands, I encourage you to check it out. It’s on codacollection.co. I think it may be streamed on Prime Video as well. Definitely worth your time, IMO.

What rock have I been hiding under that I’ve never listened to him before? And does anyone have any of his stuff on vinyl? I’m going to have to pick some up.

I'm going to check it out

Yup.

You can spend a few hours on utube very quickly checking him out. Hunt down the one with him going toe to toe with Tommy Emmanuel.... WOW!

I'll also throw out another one of his contemporaries that is supremely talented.... Marcus King.

Here are the two of them together bringing the soul!

Well worth the price of admission! Next level talent!

Love that venue… allong withe Wicked Weed Brewery next door.

He’s playing at Georgia Theater in March. A $5 Uber ride.

I looked up his tour schedule. Most dates are sold out. I’m going to try to score some tickets for his show at Northerly Island in Chicago this summer though.

 

[MrEd]

Just listened to one of his records on Qobuz.
Thanks for enlightening me 😎

I don't know what this kind of music is called but I like it!

Bluegrass with full horns? Bill Monroe never did it like this.
