I absolutely love watching Billy Strings play the guitar. It’s truly magical.

Haven't appreciated the "Dead" this much in 30 years. Billy & the Kids? Wha ??? SPECTACULAR... the Improvs? OMFG

Billy Strings and his band are the greatest talent in the land these days. Catch him live 👍

Gooo on tour and take my money now!!!

This is the best band out there right now..... part time doesn't matter.

and now at 77, he plays a show that blows you away....

Great-full of dancing

Billy K. is ageless and Billy Strings is our (new) national treasure! What an unbelievable experience this is - everyone so on point!
