  • Woahhh…yep that pretty much sums up this spectacular performance of both of these songs by true legends Brother Bill Monroe and Pink Floyd, but the Brain Damage was a tremendous cherry on top of a tremendous treat!!

    I think Billy Strings is the hottest player around this decade! I hope to see him someday, but he doesn’t come to the left coast often. I hope he comes to the Gorge, his band are all amazing musicians too!!!! I love Dark Side Of The Moon, Billy and band do a fantastic bluegrass version ❣️❣️

It's great to see you youngsters rocking! Lol! If you aren't familiar, Danny's Song is a tune off of a Loggins and Messina album of way, way long ago. Be sure to hear Kenny loggins do it, live. It's been done by a lot of folks, but it's hard to beat the original. And ya, the laugh was awesome. It looks like it is good to be Fruscianti.

    (I know that this review is quite long)
    Hello all, Billy Strings and his band are amazing. I've enjoyed him (and the band) when Billy had short hair. First, he's attempting to "introduce" bluegrass to a larger audience. Secondly, aside from showing everyone that he's an exceptional guitar player, the banjo player performs the solo of "Crown of Thorns" The violin/fiddle also perfoms a solo. The mandolin player is quite amazing. I believe that the stand-up bass is very talented. How about the Billy Strings Group?!?! Yeah!!!
