I grew up with bluegrass in tbe Appalachian Mtns of Virginia. I've listened to all kinds of music all my life. Billy Strings, you're the best I've ever heard. I love your music.

Dust in a baggie brought me here..... didn’t know I was missing this in my life, but soooo glad I found it... or it found me.

I’ve seen him live 4 X’s and have listened to every full show he’s played on line ..:: This is by far the best show imo Ive ever heard any full performance Billy play -

Just found Billy. American in Italy but I’ll be at the Munich show in 2023 - lets ridee!!!!

Found Billy on KZread a week ago, and have been listening every day since. It's not just his unbelievable perfection playing and singing, it's the musical journey he takes you on. A spectacular creative genius. The band is amazingly talented, and their uncanny timing is spot on. Perfectly in tune with Billy's plunge into an emotional musical experience like I've never experienced before. He doesn't just play, he emotes music.

Va falloir aller là bas , pour le nouvel an à Nashville il y a encore des places ! Contente de partager cette passion avec des français Moi ce type me bouleverse et me fascine , sa voix, son picking, son groupe , son charisme, Il fait décoller le bluegrass et que ça fait du bien !

My first Billy Strings show but definitely not my last. There was a lot of speculation that he might not play that night after news that his good friend Jeff Austin had been placed in a medically induced coma. There was a lot of emotion coming through in this set and his comments right before his cover of Run Down took on some extra meaning that night. There were a lot of sad hearts in the crowd that night. Great tribute to another great artist, RIP Jeff.

I'm 71, always liked rock music. The best music I ever heard was U2. I recently found billy strings. Even U2 would have to take a back seat to billy strings. I've never seen such incredible talent. Billy strings and his band are off the charts! 😃

It's a cathartic experience to hear perfection in a world obviously currently devoid of enough examples. There is hope for excellence in humanity through examples like Billy Strings and others of like spirit

absolutely insane musicianship. That While I’m waiting here absolutely smoked.

Something about music and New Haven! I have seen so many amazing concerts in town. A lot of the legends! Hope music is back on the road in September! These guys will be in New Haven.

Audience. Hands held high. Feeling the music on their skin. Soaking in waves of beauty.

I am a huge fan of Blackberry Smoke, and I've seen Billy play with them on KZread and here I am. And this band is amazing too
