My son introduced me to Mr. Strings’ music last weekend and I can’t stop watching and listening. That banjo banger reminds me a bit of Bela Fleck. All four of the players are completely off the chain. Just a phenomenal performance. Thanks for covering this.

I listen to Billy everyday. He’s amazing.

Every hour for me

What a talent Billy is! Thank you for reacting to all my fav artists!

The tightest band on the road right now...Billy has his own music but has a playlist of 700+ songs that they play live...his live shows are an experience and a marathon for the band as they sometimes play 25-35 minutes straight of jam weaving from song to song

I would add Tedeschi Trucks Band to that list.

TTB takes a back seat to no one. But Billy and Co are in the conversation for next best.

Billy was in hardcore and metal bands growing up before going back and playing the music his step father taught him, bluegrass. A couple of months ago the band Tool asked him if he wanted to jump on stage and play a song with them in Utah and on March 22nd played an entire set with his friends band "Flesh And Blood Robot" It was their first show in 18 years and Billy asked if he could be the 2nd guitarist. So for 40 minutes he's up there playing metalcore, jumping around and thrashing. It was awesome seeing him hey back to his roots. He grew up playing in metal and hardcore bands. If you want to check it out search "Flesh And Blood Robot featuring Billy Strings" and a bunch of videos of the show will pop up. BUT the best video of the whole set was filmed front row right in front of Billy is on a KZread channel called "Been There Scene That Records"

Powerful insights

Always enjoy watching folk enjoy Billy's masterful flat-picking. Especially thru this, his #PanteraBluegrass masterpiece! This is one of my favourite live music captures on the web. Superb. :) p.s. the excellent Michael Palmisano uploaded a great breakdown of this performance on his channel for anyone who'd like to know more. ;)

He did a song with Willie Nelson called California sober. It’s very good.

He really is the future of keeping the Bluegrass Art alive one to keep an eye on for sure! 😊

Billy’s the whole reason I got into bluegrass, the dude is just ridiculously talented along with the other band members

If you haven't you should react to Billy Strings playing Dust in a Baggie as an 18 year old sitting on a couch at a party. He got to play it at the Opry later but that first raw performance is amazing.

Mind melt. Welcome to the family. Enjoy the ride...

Billy always delivers, and this autobiographical song is brilliant.

Im seeing Billy and the boys this Sunday in Asheville!!! Cannot wait!

Just saw him in Atlanta, tooooo much fun

I have definitely heard these lyrics before, but I don't think I have ever seen this video before. I'm thinking it was in a movie soundtrack, at least one.

You probably wouldn't think it to look at him but billy is a death metal fan. Cryptopsy are one of his favourites I believe.

This was years ago...theyve added a fiddle player and are 10x better than this now..its actually insane.

Great but there are only four instruments.unless you mean his voice.
