I remember when I came home from Afghanistan, my little brother dragged me out to a bar on the UP where this kid was playing. He was extremely nice to me, thanked me for my service(my brother thought it was hilarious to mention I had just come home because he saw how uncomfortable it made me) and put on an absolutely stellar show. He had to of been early 20’s at the time. The level of respect and decency he showed everybody that night is echoed in this interview, all these years later. Fan for life, this dude is awesome. At a time I was really struggling in my own life, it was nice to have a two hour break from all my problems. Thanks for the memories, Billy.
I really loved the music when I caught him doing the Dead’s Wharf rat and after hearing how solid and simple he has chosen to remain and how truly tied down to his roots he remains… I’m just becoming a fan for sure!!!
Nobody gifted this dude a musical career. He didnt win a musical lottery. He made it happen with hard work and dedication. He should never feel any guilt about his success.
Yes Billy is a special player but there are many many many guitarists like him, hidden, working on their music and waiting for their lottery streak. yes he is good but yes he is lucky too.
Did coke, hard, meth and opiates was an iv user.. Been clean 3 years. Got my blood work back today, no trace of any hep or hiv lol. Its nice to be clean man nice interview. I'm from a small town East Dublin GA. Fent almost killed me. After that's when i got clean.
As a twenty year heroin addict now 7 yrs clean it’s f’n beautiful every time I hear someone put it out there that they are clean and there is life after dope. Good job
I like to listen to entertainers who work hard, love their families, and appreciate the fans who make their dreams a reality. Seems like a good guy. Him praising his parents is a breath of fresh air. Good on you, Billy.
Impatience and not knowing the truth in the now is a lost "super power". Asking to much from the universe with impatience steals other peoples dreams and can destroys lives.
Sent this video to my buddy whom I went to college with. He also went to Ionia highschool, first thing he says back is "I know Aaron lol he was in the grade above me" I flipped, thought that was so cool. Loved listening to your story buddy, literally just having a dream and working your ass off to make it a reality. The last line you said about your family, "I just want everyone to be okay" really hit home for me... Because that's all I've ever wanted to. I love it when my friends and family come to me and tell me about something cool in their life or an accomplishment they've had/made. Just puts a smile on my face when other people are happy and doing well 😊❤
I've been watching & listening to Billy for about 6-7 yrs now. I've admired his respect for Terry, his father, and for making it a priority to play gigs and now, make an album with him. The story I love best that Billy tells about Terry having to pawn his beloved Martin guitar to pay the bills when Billy was young and then, several years later Billy finds THE guitar online for sale and scrapes the money together and buys his Dad's guitar back and presents it to him gives me chills to this day. Billy, imho, is the best thing to happen in the music business, Period, in the past decade.
Followed his whole career and have nothing but respect for him. As a guitar player myself I have seen few people who can come even close to his mastery. That he seems like a good guy and a solid hang is all the better.
Watched Billy play at a ton of venues in MI (state, shorts, bells, etc) One time at Red Mesa in Boyne City with maybe 100 people in the place. I can tell you he has been bringing it since day 1. Stoked to see how many people know his tunes now.
I felt that “I play for my life, this is my # survival” I’m a FT muso, dad to 2 beautiful girls, music has saved my life, our life. And I’ve been listening to Billy for a while now, amazing player, singer and songwriter - thanks for a great interview Theo! 🙏
Such a trip my intro to billy strings was at a tool concert in salt lake, what a strange combo of musicians. He did a guitar solo with tool and it was excellent!
Had no idea he is from Michigan! Love this guy even more now. Oxy was a problem in almost every poor small town. My whole family besides my youngest brother was addicted to drugs and alcohol. Prison and jail was regular for us. The courts still know our last name. My dad always had giant Marshall amps and sick guitars. He loved bands like Rush, Ozzy, Dokken, Dio, Megadeth, etc. Watching him play was awe-inspiring. My dad and brothers are doing better, and I have a family now. His health has caught up to him, but he still plays whenever he can. He's my motivation to give my children a better life. Billy's story really resonates with me.
I already respected Billy more than most musicians, after watching this he may forever be by favorite artist. He's an inspiration of how to live through this hell we call life and finding the beauty in the ugly
Just found Billy. Seems like a regular guy who has succeeded with hard work and commitment ( and a generous amount of talent of course )- very nice to hear his story. Love his music.
What an inspiring story. I’m a musician too and it’s so true all he said about gigging. All that practicing and hustling and his dad being able to b a part of his shining success-what precious moments! hard work + opportunity always=success
One of the most stellar guitar pickers strumming in that bluegrass vein today, anywhere. This guys hands are magic on that instrument. It is no surprise at all that he has the sense of gratitude and respect for his father and the role he played in his life, as well as a history that includes real challenges- that real deal spirit is borne from his life+ thousands of hours of practice and dedicated hard work
I just finished renovating an old farm house in Buladean, NC that Doc Watson used to crash at when he would travel between Erwin, Tennessee and Spruce Pine, NC. Dude used to sit on the porch and play to the birds
My brother was doing 5 years while Billy was living in Muir. I became a fan of his early on and I just about lost my mind when I realized this years later. I used to drive up there every month and visit...Billy's right, there's not much there besides the prisons, and the town of Ionia is the seat of the county of the same name. Middle of nowhere Michigan
I think Billy is great, hearing him talk about his life makes me think that much more of him. I love his music. Much more success Billy, I will be listening.👍🏻🙂🇺🇸
Being extraordinarily competent and gifted at your trade brings goodness and value into our world. It is also an inspiration for anyone willing to work hard enough. Whether you lay driveways or pick brilliantly on guitar.
Stoked to hear about recovered addicts ❤ Thanks for the interview 👍❤️ It was very inspiring to me : as I am also a recovered addict who plays guitar 🎸 🎵
My grandparents lived in an area of West Virginia that was affected heavily by opiates, including my grandparents themselves. It was sad to realize that they were as addicted as the people around them. Dont do drugs kids.
I’m from West Virginia and I had my own battle with opiates for over a decade. It was difficult but I managed to come out the other side and my life has improved dramatically. Looking back at how much I lost during those years is crushing at times but I’m making strides in the right direction every day and I know eventually those years will no longer be in my rear view.
What a treat, I’m so grateful to run across this conversation this is the shit! And that Martin guitar WoW where do you find a 1940 Martin Guitar its perfect
I just recently discovered Billy Strings thanks to the YT algorithm, and the more I listen to his music and life story, the more i absolutely love and respect him!!
As a construction worker that's getting ready to go out and smash all day thank you for noticing Billy strings 🙏💪, might not know it but you're out there with us giving us that music that keeps us going all day💯
I was into billy many years ago. I'm so happy that he made it. He's the kids that slipped through the cracks hero. He's the hero of the south. He's the hero we all needed when he came. God did it no doubt. Billy is a gift to many.
billy , be as kind to your self as you are to others. you worked hard and sacrificed to gain success , do not feel guilty for making your life better than it could have been !
The empathy awareness of others and a knowing of what's important expressed by this man is beyond admirable. He's not only a stellar talent but a thoughtful caring and humble human being. You are a credit to the human race good sir and you have and do so earn the success you have. My life's better listening to you share your music and life experience with us, real glad to have you along for the ride Billy, the very best to you and yours always ☮️
Been listening to Billy for years, sad last time was supposed to come around my area was during Covid and got cancelled, but he's one of the best guitarists playing today, I recommend anyone look up him playing Voodoo Child with Umphrey's McGee to see he isn't just a blue grass player. Turmoil and Tin foil... Wild to think Theo is bigger than him in the mainstream and hasn't been around as long but would love to sit in a room with either of these dudes!
Great interview thanks! I watched a lot of videos about Billy and seems like a great person and I like his music. I hope he gets to spends more time with his parents, as he stated life flies by and that's no joke. He should do a song called (it just flies by) in regards to his life.
As a construction worker, first of all, we get paid pretty good. Second, we listen to a LOT of Billy’s music because it makes it easier to get thru the day. Yes it’s hard work, but we chose this life just like you chose yours so don’t feel too much guilt. Thank you for your music
dude, thanks for having Billy on. what a cool ass dude. you have to see him if you haven't, his live show is an experience even if you aren't a bluegrasser
Billy’s head is in the right place with his compassion for the poor. he is helping to finance some low-income housing in Grand Rapids. Much respect Mr. Strings.
Damn, I related to this. I am from that place, a little NW of Ionia, but the late 70's and early 80's my time. The auto industry jobs moved out and it is difficult to convey what an economic depression is like on people. Lots of prison towns now. It is a crazy hard existence and a crazy hard reference to live with. Michigan isn't the only place in America so honored to have such a tradition
Sometimes the Universe decides who gets chosen... whether we're ready or not. Some choose to answer the call, and some just stay home. Learning to accept that you choose to recurve the gift can be hard when you don't feel like you deserve success. I've been clean (and sober) since 6/23/2000. Still don't feel like i deserve the amazing life I have somedays... but i accept it. Graciously.
But that's what makes him human, the humility. He's worked his ass off and deserves the rewards for his hard work, and god bless him keeping some things separate. You have to realize, too, that nobody can help someone who won't help themselves. But that's the rub. Where to draw the line. Bless him for doing what he can to help his family. The more music of his i hear, and the more interviews, the more I like Billiy Strings
I remember when I came home from Afghanistan, my little brother dragged me out to a bar on the UP where this kid was playing.

God damn that’s a great story! Thanks for sharing Brother!
Billy Strings is a real one, and he deserves every bit of success he’s achieved
Truth
Straight up.👍👍
This guy has a lot of empathy for people working hard, that’s a sign of a good man
Same here.
You have say that if you want to make money on the country circuit.
@@alfsmith4936 Implying that Billy is somehow disingenuous? You obviously don't follow the young man.
@@alfsmith4936 he plays bluegrass, not country.
@@joshua_wherley I know but there's no money on the bluegrass scene, until the country crowd start liking you.
Humility, sincerity, and passion. And he's a SMOKIN' guitar player. This kid deserves all the success in the world.
As a former touring musician who just lost my dad unexpectedly, so great to see Billy recognizing how precious the time is. Tell him you love him! 🔥
I know I don’t know you but I’m sorry for your loss ❤
I’m really sorry about your loss. Prayers
I’m sorry for your loss
I really loved the music when I caught him doing the Dead’s Wharf rat and after hearing how solid and simple he has chosen to remain and how truly tied down to his roots he remains… I’m just becoming a fan for sure!!!
Amen sir ..I still wished I could say it and hear it back.
Nobody gifted this dude a musical career. He didnt win a musical lottery. He made it happen with hard work and dedication. He should never feel any guilt about his success.
Yes Billy is a special player but there are many many many guitarists like him, hidden, working on their music and waiting for their lottery streak. yes he is good but yes he is lucky too.
First time I heard Billy was when dust in a baggie was uploaded. Top notch musician.
Same
Same
ME too. I wanna know about the guy in the background!
@@23ofSeptember Frodooooo!
@@23ofSeptember im from ionia, his name is BAREFOOT BEN he apparently according to my father brags all the time about the video having 32M views
Did coke, hard, meth and opiates was an iv user.. Been clean 3 years. Got my blood work back today, no trace of any hep or hiv lol. Its nice to be clean man nice interview. I'm from a small town East Dublin GA. Fent almost killed me. After that's when i got clean.
As a twenty year heroin addict now 7 yrs clean it’s f’n beautiful every time I hear someone put it out there that they are clean and there is life after dope. Good job
A lot of respect for Billy Strings for his down to earth honesty
I like to listen to entertainers who work hard, love their families, and appreciate the fans who make their dreams a reality. Seems like a good guy. Him praising his parents is a breath of fresh air. Good on you, Billy.

Dam put that on a shirt
Word
Jokerbiden is wildddd can’t wait for trump daddy to be back where he belongs
Billy is a humble respectful guy. It’s refreshing to see he’s stayed that way even with the success and fame.

Billy’s story brings tears to my eyes. He had such a hard life. He really worked so hard to get where h is.
3:33 "Iownya was probably a slave town guessing just by the name of it" 🤣
I’m glad someone else got this Lmaoo
Haha yes. He's got some flybys for many.
Theo is unstoppable 😂
And Billy didn't get the joke lol
That was brilliant and Mr. Strings didn't catch it
Just be yourself, something no one else can do. And just don’t forget how blessed you are. Both of you. No joke.
Great to see a professional musician with so much perspective and gratitude. I admire Billy Strings for this.

we played at the bowling alley in Escanaba in 81. we were booked for a week, and they kept us for a second week.
How long ago was that
@@niagarafallsnewyork3659 it keeps going make sure to find them
Playing an outdoor concert it’s amazing
Theo is such a chill and good interviewer, they’re always so compelling and different than the typical drivel interviewers normally ask.
I've done time in a prison work camp in Ionia back in the 1970's from Whitmore Lake MI.
Clean for 40 years.
I felt that “I play for my life, this is my # survival” I’m a FT muso, dad to 2 beautiful girls, music has saved my life, our life. And I’ve been listening to Billy for a while now, amazing player, singer and songwriter - thanks for a great interview Theo! 🙏
There's a video on TH-cam with Billy and two other guys playing four songs in the woods and it's one of my favorite videos of all time. Great set
The mandolin player on that is Don Julin, VERY respected touring and session musician in his own right and a really fun and unique player!
This guy is incredible live, you have to see him if you can.
Such a trip my intro to billy strings was at a tool concert in salt lake, what a strange combo of musicians. He did a guitar solo with tool and it was excellent!
Yes, he also joined them at their Nashville show which I attended. Like any truly great player he is versatile.
@@charliefoster5862I was there too! First tool show
🙏 Surely someone has uploaded this by now 🙏

Such a fan of Billy! Many of his lyrics resonate with me...
Billy Strings is a legend!! Loved watching him up in Traverse City through the years! We need a Billy Strings/Don Julin reunion!
Billy Strings really seems to be a real one. Love that.

The simplicity of Billy's mindframe is so earthy and righteous !
Always enjoyed Billy’s music. Now seeing the moral compass, makes it even better.
Enjoyed this, sit through it all. Thanks for putting it out there.
I’m from the uk and like a lot of people heard dust in a baggie on TH-cam …..its great to see him as a man fulfilling his music potential 👏🏻👏🏻
This interview got me listening to Billy Strings. Thankful for this!
Stoked to hear about recovered addicts ❤

Never really knew anything much about billy until this vid. Love it. Ty
Always late to the party but SOOOOO glad I came! Holy wow.
Billy is the real deal. His huge heart comes through his music and has got me thru some really hard times ❤️
Love you brother look forward to seeing you again this year let's go swimming and fishing in the river some time

Oh, this guy!!!! He does an absolute KILLER version of "Don't think twice, it's alright," by Dylan!!!! Amazing version!!!! Respect! 🤘🎸 💯
I've listened to that cover countless times. It's brilliant.
Almost better than the original dare I say

Mom with the Lou Reed Transformer t-shirt and you with the Tony Rice Unit Manzanita t-shirt - a great mojo gumbo of influences!
As a dj that lives this type of life from a poor environment, I relate greatly to this. I’m going to use some of this info to fuel what I gotta do.
Half of us are in recovery and the other half are still having fun. 😂
First time hearing of this guy. I like him. Definitely going to check out his music even if I’m not a bluegrass listener. Cool dude.
Sooooooooo, how you enjoying the Billy Strings rabbit hole thus far? I'm a bluegrass fan because of him.
As a construction worker, first of all, we get paid pretty good. Second, we listen to a LOT of Billy’s music because it makes it easier to get thru the day. Yes it’s hard work, but we chose this life just like you chose yours so don’t feel too much guilt. Thank you for your music
What a wonderfully cool and talented guy. I wish him the very best life has to offer. I'm also "California Sober" and loving it!
❤✌ 😊
Two of my favorite people.
Nashville people are always ready for you to listen to them tell a great Nashville story
You deserve to be happy Billy, hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor young. It's hard for our generation right now with how the world is, stay up!
dude, thanks for having Billy on. what a cool ass dude. you have to see him if you haven't, his live show is an experience even if you aren't a bluegrasser
Billy’s head is in the right place with his compassion for the poor. he is helping to finance some low-income housing in Grand Rapids. Much respect Mr. Strings.
The I own ya joke is underrated.
The leading musical light of his generation and faithful keeper of the flame..
Can we get Billy back to Walnut valley? It would mean the world to us and its full of your biggest supporters.
Beautiful as hell. Good on ya, Billy. ❤
Just an overall great soul. He wasn't lucky. He was born for this.

Sometimes the Universe decides who gets chosen... whether we're ready or not. Some choose to answer the call, and some just stay home. Learning to accept that you choose to recurve the gift can be hard when you don't feel like you deserve success. I've been clean (and sober) since 6/23/2000. Still don't feel like i deserve the amazing life I have somedays... but i accept it. Graciously.
Theo! Great guest Billy is a legend
I did not expect to enjoy this interview as much as I did.
As a old mam it's good to see a good kid making it.
Excellent interview!
I thought I could not admire Billy more than I already do. I was so wrong. What a down to earth dude.
But that's what makes him human, the humility. He's worked his ass off and deserves the rewards for his hard work, and god bless him keeping some things separate. You have to realize, too, that nobody can help someone who won't help themselves. But that's the rub. Where to draw the line. Bless him for doing what he can to help his family. The more music of his i hear, and the more interviews, the more I like Billiy Strings
Great clip. Thanks man.
