Billy Strings Tour

porchdweller

Anyone here a Billy Strings fan.  If he comes through check him out, playing mostly small venues right now.  One of the top ten performers I've seen, he's legit live.  If bluegrass isn't your thing I get it, but he's outstanding.  Plus he does a kickass cover of In Hiding.

Hoping to catch him sometime soon.  Not coming close enough to me at this time.  But I am a new fan and can't wait to hear the new album.

He's amazing, we've seen him twice but the Cleveland show sold out before we got tickets
May try resales, he's worth it.

A bunch of my friends will be at his DC show.  I missed out on a ticket.

Holy crap, just found a short clip on YouTube!  Awesome is right, but no way it's better than their version of In Hiding... it's pure Bliss.  We were lucky to hear it in Pitt last year and as much as I love his original music, I would love to hear In Hiding at every show.

I'll always wear my Stick Man shirt to his shows, he's definitely a true PJ fan.
And he's a fucking guitar GOD!

I am obsessed with the new cd and have never seen him live and my show got postponed. Glass way half full.

That'll just make it that much sweeter when the show does go on.  Like gambs said, he can totally shred guitar. His live shows bring so much more energy than the studio work.

Look up his psychodelic circus shows if you haven’t heard them yet

It's better live than you would expect, too.  Superb. 
We were lucky to see him just a few days after this one was released and he opened with it, which was amazing.

Anyone else love this guy? Seeing him for my first time in October and December. He's replaced Pearl Jam for me.

Count me as a huge fan. Seen him 9x so far, and, up next, hoping to catch one of the Huntsville shows at the end of the summer. IMO, he's like the Grateful Dead and other bands in that his studio efforts, while realllly good, are transcended by live shows. Where are you seeing him in Oct & Dec?

Amazing!! Grand Rapids, MI on Halloween, Syracuse, NY December 16th. Beyond excited. I've become flat-picking obsessed. Nothing's made me pick up my guitar as often in years.

Nice! I've been fortunate to see his Halloween shows the past couple of years in Asheville. If history is any indication then you're in for quite a treat. If you're on Nugs and haven't already done so give a listen to the Halloween '22 show....it especially is knock-your-socks-off good.
