    About BILLY STRINGS:
    Michigan-born and now Nashville-based, Billy Strings is a GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician, who arrived on the scene as “one of string music’s most dynamic young stars” (Rolling Stone). Strings is in the midst of a triumphant year after winning Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards for his critically acclaimed record, Home. Produced by Glenn Brown, the record also led Strings to top Billboard’s 2020 year-end charts in both Bluegrass categories-Top Bluegrass Artists and Top Bluegrass Albums-and continues to receive widespread critical acclaim. Of the release, The Associated Press proclaims, “it is his creative musical storytelling, paired with solid vocals on Home that should seal the deal, pleasing fans of the genre and creating some new ones…the perfect blend of pure talent and pluck,” while The Wall Street Journal declares, “Billy Strings has clearly emerged as a premier guitar flatpicker of this era.” Since his debut, Strings has been awarded Guitar Player of the Year and New Artist of the Year at the 2019 International Bluegrass Music Awards, selected as one of Rolling Stone’s “New Country Artists to Know” and performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and PBS’ “Bluegrass Underground.” Known for his electric live shows, Strings will continue his extensive headline tour throughout 2021 including upcoming shows in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Austin, Atlanta and Nashville among several others.
    Out September 24 via Rounder Records, Renewal was produced by Jonathan Wilson (Conor Oberst, Roger Waters, Father John Misty) and solidifies Strings’ position as a singular artist-one who honors the history of the music that inspires him, while continually pushing it forward. With the record’s sixteen tracks, Strings shares a more personal and honest perspective through his songwriting, while incorporating his wide range of influences with elements of bluegrass, classic rock, metal, psychedelic music and more.
    LYRICS
    (Apostol / Weisberger / Allen)
    Well there’s nothing worse than feeling
    like you’re first in line for losing
    I thought my life was cruising then it crumbled all away
    I had a lot to give but what I gave should be forgotten
    Unnoticed like a stranger I’ll surrender for the day
    Well this night was an illusion,
    it came down like an intrusion
    I stay up through the night though
    I can’t stand it sinking low
    I’m a witness to the fight between
    the darkness and the light
    You’re a mean old world I’m leaving though
    I have no place to go
    You’re a mean old world I’m leaving though
    I have no place to go
    This old world took me for a ride
    I lost everything I had and then my pride
    So much that I don’t know, but I guess I’m set to go
    And this old world she took me for a ride
    I was raised when I saw ugliness
    to try to make some beauty
    Found purpose in the duty when
    I couldn’t find the shore
    What beauty couldn’t lift just simply floated on adrift
    Rolling on directionless and lost forevermore
    It goes from bad to worse sometimes
    before it can get better
    I string some words together and
    just try to speak the truth
    I have a lot to get, I hope my lot will be forgiven
    Pardon me for living for the time I’m here with you
    Pardon me for living for the time I’m here with you
    This old world took me for a ride
    I lost everything I had and then my pride
    So much that I don’t know, but I guess I’m set to go
    And this old world she took me for a ride
    When I lay my body down I’d like to
    feel the dirt beneath me
    And the howling wind could sheath me and
    I’d finally be set free
    For a moment you can yawn and
    throw my things into a pile
    My dawn is finally here and
    yours might come in just a while
    My dawn is finally here and
    yours might come in just a while
    This old world took me for a ride
    I lost everything I had and then my pride
    So much that I don’t know, but I guess I’m set to go
    And this old world she took me for a ride
    This old world she took me for a ride

    A man on his deathbed reliving his life and feeling regret while experiencing peace... HOW THE F can Billy understand this at 28?!?! We are witnessing the next great American songwriter, Dylon, Petty status.... let alone one of the best pickers there ever has been. Can't wait to see you in Detroit man!! Thank you for this!
