    Heard great things about Billy Strings and may check him out sometime. Since I'm not too familiar, nosebleeds would be fine with me.
    You really should see him, he won't be that far from you  ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶s̶u̶m̶m̶e̶r̶  in a couple of weeks.  Some bands put on a show, some put on an event.  Billy puts on an event, there's not much like it out there these days. When I was younger I listened to a little country and bluegrass, but he's just a whole 'nother level.  
    I am going to see Mr. Apostle this Saturday in Charlottesville for the first time, and I have to say one of the big reasons is bc of the ++++ comments on this thread. My friend has seen him @ the past 2 Halloween shows in B'more and said great things as well. He will be one section over from me, bc i just bought the ticket. The weirdest part for me is that I don't know his music, and he varies the covers he plays so often, so I am looking at it as a great adventure. If anyone here is going to the show, pls DM me!
    You don't need to know any of his music. Just go and enjoy the show. Oddly enough, it won't seem like you're going to a bluegrass show at all. There'll be an abundance of tie-dye and hippie buses.
    Outdoor merch usually opens around 4-4:30p. If you're going to partake, you should be there by at least 2:30p. But the line is always a very festive atmosphere. At least at the shows I've gone to.

    Had the great pleasure of Seeing Billy Strings in Greensboro Tuesday night. I've seen him a few times now and he continues to be PHENOMENAL. He has to be one of the best guitarist in the world, holy fuck. We got very lucky, they played Alice in Chains' Nutshell towards the end of the show. We had really great seats, what a night. On a side note, I was lucky enough to score the Greensboro poster and of course the next day saw people on ebay selling them for $250-450, lol. Fuckers. 


    Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.

    Thanks! Just checked out the available tickets for the shows in Fishers, IN. About a 2 hour drive but a 7500 person venue. I'm guessing it is because of the venue size but the tickets are significantly more for these shows than some of the others I have seen.

    I believe Mike & Stone when they say no shows this year. I'm sure they would have liked to do Ohana but can't without a drummer.

    I'll just have to exercise more patience. They are worth it.
