#BillyStrings #Bluegrass #Guitar
well, from an 80 year old who used to promote a bluegrass festival, you are just the greatest thing ever. Solid musicians, great voice and harmony. I have just discovered you lately and you are my chair exercise music for the last solid week. I just pray covid is over soon and I can have the pleasure of seeing you live. I hired such people as Jim and Jesse, Del McCoury, Raymond Fairchild, The Lewis Family and the Osbourne brothers. You would have been on the top of my list.
If it wasn’t for guys like you promoting great talent perhaps Billy wouldn’t have been inspired. Ain’t nothin better than great music being shared

👍❣️🙏❣️😙
There's no scene without men like you. Wish you and your family the best. We'll all get through this together.
Finally a very educated opinion/ truth. Loved to read what you wrote sir.
@@MrullmanRullman actually I'm a woman, but thank you for the kudos
Who else has watched this more than 5 times?
...Not Yet..
But gonna do it..!
Challenge accepted!
Not yet.
Oh yea
at least 5 times Id say closer to 10 for the entire set and turmoil and tinfoil maybe double that. Its funny compared to his recent shows this isn't even all that amazing but yet here I am once again.
All these dudes playing is insanely clean and they are improving. Best part for me is I don't sense any ego. A band that really loves music and u see it every second. These dudes r what music is about in my opinion.
Yes, I guess you could say that they're improving. Right now, most all of us think they're the best bluegrass band in the world (and that includes the Dusters, Yonder, Greehsky, Salmon).
To the core...
agree 100%
@@thaddeusk4230 best bluegrass band in the world? That’s a bold statement. Especially in a genre like Bluegrass where there are absolute monsters everywhere, they just don’t lay it all out every time they get a ride. In a popularity contest, Billy’s band probably wins. As far as the best Bluegrass band in terms of how well they have mastered their instruments, The Punch Brothers will stand up to anyone, and that includes any of the old cats. I mean, with a line-up like Thile, Eldridge, Pikelny, Witcher, and Kowart, you’d have a hard time finding a better complete Bluegrass lineup today or yesterday. The only band line-up you might find that would stack up with The Punch Brothers would be the Bluegrass All Star band that consisted of Rice, Douglas, Bush, O’Connor, and Crowe. They weren’t ever really a “band” though, just a gathering of aliens that got together when they wanted to take a break from cutting records for everyone else. These guys are entertaining as hell to watch, but they’re definitely still coming into their own. The other names I mentioned are world-class, generational kind of talents.
@@thaddeusk4230 you mean that you know of!😎
This more jam-band kind of grass is where the Mandolin truly spreads it's wings most as an instrument. Watching a good mandolin player jam is a TREAT!
It’s easily one of my favorite instruments, and i thank a lot of it hall and Oates. Lady Rain specifically
Yes and Jarod is genius on that mandolin 💯
Sam Bush and Sierra Hull approve of this message.
This man is phenomenal. I have listened to Bluegrass for 50 years and this group is as tight as any I have heard--ever. And Billy has magic fingers and voice. What amazing talent.
Go see them live
An old soul for sure!
I mean I understand the depth of Billy's talent and passion but to find these awesome friends who are equally badass is amazing!!! Love u guys!!!!!
I agree! It's unfair to just mention about Billy and not about the rest of the band!
Not hard when you are a phenomenal human
Agreed, this is SPECIAL
Very easy answer, a addict always is surrounded by other addicts. Only the best. Someone onces said the music is a part of my body. I speak with my mouth and my soul plays music.
@@bearvandergoot3357 "Someone omce said, The music is a part of my body: I Speak with my mouth and my soul plays music"

@@Coops889 absolute best cover I’ve heard, hate to say I like it more than jerry and David’s
@@markdavidson3863 Didn’t even realise it was a cover. Thanks for the heads up man, will check the orginal for sure. Merry Christmas!
@@markdavidson3863 how the fvck did i know that was a dead song lol. definitely a case of a superior cover
edit: my bad, just an old folk standard! very cool.
Billy Strings is like Hendrix if he had played bluegrass !!! :))
His band is incredible !!
So much talent in young musicians ..... all is not lost. :))
Terry Beaud I was thinking Hendrix, Jerry Garcia born into a bluegrass family.
I agree. Tony Rice was always great but I think this kid is in the same league for sure. He's got more than talent. He's got soul!
They call this "Acid Grass".
@@davidmorse8432 Who's 'they'?
@@thaddeusk4230 I heard The Seldom Scene call it that during their, "Live at the Cellar Door" performance when the mandolin player started playing like Eric Clapton.
I am actually cooking in my kitchen, with Billy String band, in France. I can tell you, with this kind of music, the meal will be insanely good !!!!!
I had one month when I could not listen to anything but Billy. It has happened to me a few times in my life with a few bands of different genres but it is wonderful when it happens. Thank You Billy for your prodigal thinking..Smart music.(and it’s funny when you hear the wonderful musicians playing increadible solos, no way anyone can top that, Billy always does)
Same, right now it's Billy and the dead south for me
I'm glad someone else feels like that, I have just been listening to Billy Strings for the last couple hours xD
When you sound better live than most produced music on the radio lmao. sound guy killed it too.
Yeah man! The sound engineer was on POINT! They sounded amazing...especially outside with no backdrop and kinda windy. Andy Lytle I believe is the sound guy.
Hey I just woke up and it says on my phone I'm replying to Corey I don't know what's going on Corey what's up @@coryCuc lpp
@@coryCuc yo Cory my phone says I'm replying to you you text me or message me who are you Corey
@@DWZack Weird. I don't know what's up
Man, I REALLY need to catch you guys live when the world opens back up!
Whoever was the sound man on this, was a wizard.....lol
Talent 🎵🎶🎵🎶
Absolutely! Makes all the difference.
I've just watched 5 straight vids and he sounds incredible in all of them.
seriously! good damn job on the sound... anyone have a playlist of examples of the sound techs' other work they'd be willing to share?
Andy!
It's like four pilots taking one plane up for improvised aerobatics and you just wonder if they will be able to land it safely before it becomes the most glorious fireworks explosion you ever saw.
How high are you? Lol
Ha well said.
So.. My friend introduced me to Billy Strings music three days ago. Now it's been three days of listening to Billy Strings non-stop. I even had a dream about him and the band 😂 ... I think I recognize this feeling... I'm in love!
Hello 👋 Lisa. How are you doing? Hope you are fine.
Billy Strings, son... by golly, good grief! Wow. You have restored my love of bluegrass. You are it. Life long fan now.
BILLY STRINGS IS PHENOMENAL....AND HIS VOICE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD.....INCREDIBLE TALENT!! #GODBLESSBILLYSTRINGS
❤
There is a chosen one walking amongst us, and his name, oddly enough is "String" for some reason. I just can`t anymore, my guitarplayers heart is overflowing with joy and good vibrations, everytime I hear Billie play. What a delightful person.
Same brother.
Got me back to the roots.
His aunt gave him the nickname “Strings” because of his musical talent. His real name is William Lee Apostol.
This whole band is just so easy to listen to. I'll start playing the newest video posted and wind up 3 hrs later listening to their live performances. Shout out to the sound techs for their wizardry. Billy Strings is a once in a lifetime musician and a phenomenal guitarist. Blown away again!
Phish who?? No joking I hear you. Man crush
Billy is by far one of the best guitarists ever, not to mention vocalist and song writer. Awesome!!!
That is the ABSOLUTE best rendition of Dreadful Wind and Rain I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. @14:00 I love billy more and more everytime I put on a new show of his.
Title is... "Oh, The Wind And Rain."
The crowd who set the sound on stage and recording... Bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Billy and his band? say no more.
I m completely addicted to your music..... 🙏🙏🙏
Love how he casually throws in old murder ballads with his own tunes. His playing is top notch but so is his writing. His songs are instant classics and sounds just as good if not better than the classics he plays in his live shows.
"Thats good stuff, I don't care who you are".
A Man Brother Kyle! I have to laugh when Billy throws down on those death tunes…almost makes a man laugh that a guy his age can play & sing like he’s older than dirt! Sick’um Billy!
20 years into music and this performance changed my music trajectory for the foreseeable future. Amazing.
Zac Baggett me too!
But more like 51.
And the mandolin player is a beast
If there is any Hope in my World , my failing heart will hold out long enough
to see this young man In Concert ! Covid won't last forever !
Like is an unstatement, \where is the LOVE button!
I want to be one of those guys who’s seen Billy strings 200 times. Screw COVID. I can’t wait to get back to this.
Splendid group of musicians....talent is from another galaxy! Had tickets to catch these guys at MerleFest. The UA-cam rabbit hole comes through again! Wash your hands
to this jam and stay healthy!
They were gonna be at Merlefest? I had no idea :(
Where is Billy playing.in the coming months.that is close to Iowa?
I wanna sit on the back porch at sugarlands distillery in Gatlinburg with Billy playing I'm sure the entire crowd of people in Gatlinburg would be crowded in in!!!!!
@@johnjohnston7855 Where is anyone playing anywhere?. Even your hypocrite Senator got her jab after calling it a hoax for months.
Speechless.........simply amazing . I just discoveredt this dude about 3 hours ago....cant stop listening. !!!
Feel good music ,,.And we can say as much about his bandnmates..... thanks
who could not like this!? this band is badass!
My son started following Billy around 4 years ago. I'm hooked on his music now and can't stop listening. We saw him live at Red Rocks last summer! I love this music, such talented musicians, great songwriting and they put everything they've got into it. I love you guys. Can't wait till we can see you live in Colorado again....
Soooooo much love……so much talent…..so proud & grateful to be sharing this experience here in this world…./❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
This is the first day I've heard of and seen Billy Stings. Phenomenal.
I came across the basement "Dust In A Baggie" video about a month ago, and couldn't believe it. I need to see these guys, and I'm not even a bluegrass fan. Stellar musicianship.
welcome to paradise
A little over 6 months ago was when I first heard of him, and fell in love with his sound immediately. Until recently, he seemed to be everywhere, sitting in with everyone. Now, not so much. When "all this" is over, I'll be happy to travel long distance to see Billy Strings and his band live. EZ
I first came across his videos about 3 months ago. He definitely has magic fingers. The whole band is super talented. I bought a ukulele about 3 years ago. He makes me want to toss it in the garbage and practice all at the same time.
David Gardner jarred walker is “his” name
This was a great show on my wife Ellen’s birthday, so great and we survived and stayed through the massive storm, the dreadful wind and rain
This, The Concert that HOOKED ME :BILLY STRINGS BAND. Once you go Strings nothing else makes ya sing!
H-E-A-R-T of E-A-R-T-H 💜🌱
Billy Strings, you gotta be one of the best I’ve ever seen play and sing. Your band is fantastic as well. Great job guys!
That Mandolin!
This music is straight up, heart to heart, no detours! Thank you Billy Strings! 🌀❤️🌀
Trippy waves.
wasn't ready for the " Wind and Rain" cover love,love, love it
I can't stop listening to "Wind and Rain."
When you realize that your dad's bluegrass taste is actually kinda cool...😂
When you turn your dad's bluegrass into something cool 😎
I learned about Billy string through my dad! I honestly think they are the best show. Hands down.
Never tried bluegrass much till i heard billy. Now he's the first thing i find myself turning on to sing along with.
You're almost a man now Charlie Brown
Yeah kinda!
Man this just made my quarantine so much better.
Love watching Ally save Billy and then Billy save Cory back to back. What a team! What a band! What a show! Thank you so much! ❤️
I've listened to this concert a hundred times by now, and that segue of black clouds/ ernnest t grass always gets me. And then THEY BRING IT BACK !!!
I’ve played bluegrass at many many festivals.... some small, and some very big. But I have never seen the audience get into the music like this. Magical!
All of these brothers together are beyond Awesome! One like button just doesn't do it justice!
Everyone a fantastic musician , I just "found" Billy Strings yesterday already listened to 3 hours.
Me too. Even the brother of one of the guys was great.
The day I discovered Billy that's all I listened too 4 months later it's still my go too
Just discovered Mr. Strings within the year. Forever will love his music. We will meet one day. I write country songs and am obscure, for now.. lyricist
Hello 👋 Marie. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Amazing! Talent from another planet. I know Billy is the glue that binds the band. But the I'd like to give a huge heads up to the bass player Royal. Fine thumpin!
Wow, incredibly talented young men led by the genius of Billy Strings! This music makes me happy.
Me too Janice the music make me happy
I hope you’re okay over there
@@peterwilson8323 Peace!
@@janicejohnson6438 that’s good,I’m from Dallas Texas how about you
@@peterwilson8323 I'm a California girl.
Billy strings is my go to for everyspect of life, feeling sad? Let Billy sing you into happy land! I love this man more than his own mama does, I swear it! Ok maybe that's a bit much but♥️😁♥️
Hello 👋 Dear. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Finally a sweet ass bass solo. Theses guys are gonna make it big.
Christian Johansson my thoughts exactly !!
Amazing. That’s all...just amazing, oh and thank God for these musicians. That too...
ive been to TONS of concerts. these guys top them all EVEN ON LINE,, im sitting here having myself al lil concert and im IN HEAVEN... THANK YOU BOYS.....XXOO
Me too,I hope you’re enjoying yourself
Doc Watson and Jerry Garcia live on in Billy Strings! Billy and his entire band are absolutely fantastic!!!
Agreed. I would add the late TONY RICE to your shout out of Doc & Jerry. 😎✅👍
Don't forget Merle. Billy and his father on the Family Strings video remind me of Doc and Merle.
This band has really gotten tight over the last year. They just give each other " the look" and they know were they are going with it. Billy is the "Dime"of blue grass!
trust me dude, this band was tight before they ever met one another
Couldn't have said it better myself!
Dime, with a bit of Angus, a bit of Randy, a bit of Jimi, a bit of Rory (more the look perhaps) a bit of Zakk, he's incredible.
I've heard guitar guys say Dime a few times
I never got into bluegrass but here and it served up this way this is absolutely amazing this guy's obviously got some good old heavy metal influences and he kills it they all kill it this is one tight band that I woulld pay to go see. I used to think I was a guitar player but after hearing Billy I'm a fraud.
While I'm not an admitted fan of bluegrass, I must admit the lad has my attention to be sure. Congrats on the grammy Bill!
I LOVE this guy!! HUGE Doc Watson fan all of my life. My dad played guitar and sang his songs. I have loved bluegrass forever.
I currently pet sit for Steve Kaufman ...who played at my wedding! Check out Steve Kaufman's flatpicking .... several time world champion flatpicker......and teacher to SO many people. ❤️ Tell him Raechel Mason says, "Hi".
ty for posting this
Just about as much talent in one group that I have ever heard fantastic
Crystal clear sound, great groove.
Hello
Mind blown! Stole my face right off my head. Holy shit
BY FAR the best live recording of these guys live
I listen to this concert pretty much every day as driving music- only realized recently it was a live recording- that's saying something about these guys insane talent
I too are mesmerized beyond all thing. Kind of the feelings I had when I first heard the Beatles.
Dat bass is on point!!!
Yup!
How can any sane person dislike this video??? This is amazing!!!
I never thought in all my years (I'm 64) that I would say I like a bluegrass band but this young man and his band are the bomb.
You four are the greatest thing that music has ever known! Unbelievable talent and excellence!!!!
Ditto to everything said so far. I think Billy's vocals are amazing. He sounds like some older guy who has been singing and listening to good bluegrass for years. He probably has.
Only since he was a baby lol
Welpp... i know my next concert when quarantine ends...
Best live shows. He was selling out most venues before the virus though and gonna be worse when they start touring again. Best of luck getting tickets.
You won't regret it. Get on the tickets early.
Mee too!!
You mean IF quarantine ends.
Same here 👍😎!
Beautiful stuff here. A true saving grace for the bluegrass/jam band scene. This is what keeps this music alive! Love Billy Strings!!!
I'm still working because I'm a pharmacist no matter the rest of isolation and shelter. Amazing to have u going live buck. Thank you!!!
Thank you for doing what you do. We need people like you. You are a hero 👊💪👍
@@JNoble-cq7bt naw buck just my job no hero here. Priciate the support for sure
Enjoyed your show from Blue Ox as well as the one at THE STONE PONY !!!! Planning on catching all your videos while I stay indoors durning this pandemic . Wow !!! YOU DOING THINGS RIGHT !!!!
THANKS YOU AND YOUR BAND MEMBERS ARE MAKING MY DAYS FUN STAYING DOORS !!!!
STAY BLESSED !!!!😎🤓👍👏👌
i hope these dudes keep on making art well into old age. absolute treasures forsure
Incredible! I’ve followed Billy for some time ! He just gets better. The guy on left can play wow 🤩
Bluegrass lover for over 40 years! Thanking my son for turning me onto Billystrings music!
Hello Jeanne
That was awesome! I tuned in to watch from the U.k.
Billy is the very best I have ever heard!!!!!! Thank you
Still addicted 🤣 and I have been for over a year now and I just love you guys ❤️🙏🏽❤️ Goats 🐐 rule!
I could listen all day. Outstanding group of musicians.
Thank you Mr. Strings keep the Jam Grass Smoking.
First time I've heard the bassist take a walk with billy..! Yes! More, please!
Iv been searching for that solo in this set since yesterday
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Billy! 💖
The sound was phenomenal and the performance stellar as always!
It’s a nice one though
What else can be said but D..n!! This is the best Bluegrass/Newgrass band traveling and touring these days. Billy's voice and playing continues to improve and the other members are stellar performers . Just the jam for these isolation days. A must see live on the festival circuit one day if he ever comes back to NC or Virginia! The Pied Pipers of Bluegrass, they will move this music forward!! Enjoyed best with headphones unless you want to wake up the whole neighborhood!!
if you have technique, chops but no conviction, or passion it dont work, hes got it all , heart, stage charisma and a great band love it
Thank you for the music hope you’re takin care of yourselves to stick around awhile please
Making music is the best human quality. Magic dwells within it.
I still believe this is one of their best recordings ever, mostly because the bass is mic'd so strong in the mix. Love it.
I'm thinking to myself, what a great flat picker. The somewhere on UA-cam I saw him fingerpick "Don't Think Twice." The man's talent is deep and wide.
This guy is amazing as a bluegrass performer and equally amazing in any other genre in which he performs. Who's gonna get to claim him in 4 or 5 years?
Man ya lads can make those strings sing - amazing & wonderful job - that set my Pa's day to start - ya boys rock & Billy ; thank you all for sharing your wonderful talents & have a blessed day & a toke with me - chow for now - be safe & well always - thank you - kirk out have a ;-) fathers day to all>> Happy & blessed eh
Billy Strings for president he can bring the world together with perfect harmony an his story telling i been a fan for awhile these guys have such amazing talent an bring peace to my soul when i turn on my playlist daily! Great job yalls!
Got damn son!! Daddy raised a hall a famer, this ole boy can pick the frets outtha the board!! Love it!! Keep it comin!!......
Just an amazing performance, I listen to at least a song or three everyday...
Man o man, psychedelic bluegrass jazz!
Bravo to the Blue Ox staff for not strong-arming that dude off stage at 37:17. Way to keep the Peace.
Yep! Dude was just in the moment. Good to see everyone be so chill about it.
Dreadful wind and rain moves me to tears every single time
The spirit of this band is more like the Dead than Dead and Company.
Wow. I've been thinking this for a couple days. Straight.
I like both, but do see your point for sure. I wouldn't mind if Billy took up the mantle of the Dead someday for sure. For me these guys in their current version are a lot like New Riders of the Purple Sage. Would be so cool if they opened for Dead and Co sometime, or if Billy played an acoustic set with them.
Thank's from France, great sound and take care
