    I have been on TH-cam since day one; this is the first time I’ve ever commented. Billy Strings, your talent is beyond compare; your humility is genuine and your passion is for all of us to enjoy. Excellent job pulling together a band of pure moonshine.

    This band had touched the hearts of so many including myself! My parents are dead heads, my dad adores Dave Matthews Band…but this is the first time everyone in my family has collectively been getting tickets to any show we can get our hands on. It’s a thrill and has brought us as close as we’ve been since we all lived under the same roof. Your music makes me feel the joy of childhood which means so much during these crazy times. Much love💙

    I grew up in a bluegrass home. My dad was a mandolin player and he and my uncles were the Benton Bros. Travelled, played the Opry (Once). They were asked to be a continuous act but my uncles wife , Hilda, wouldnt move from NC, LOL. Lots of stories. Ive heard lots of bluegrass and played many years. With this said. I will tell you that I have never seen guitar talent like Billy Strings. Never. Not acoustic. Billy is the Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar. And he is still getting even better. Love how he mixes bluegrass with the rock, psych and other similar genres. Absolute and complete talent. AS well as all the band members also. Incredible

Many have no clue cuz they’ve only heard 2-3 songs never live, think he’s “Country”😂 it boggles my mind some my old Dead tour alums don’t care for him, “too much twang”🙄 I try to take them to shows- I send video and they love the live stuff but.. it’s like they feel they’re being unloyal to D&Co 🤯 hey Ima enjoy it ALL!!!

The atmosphere was fantastic; Billy and the band were phenomenal (as expected) and the other fans were so friendly! I met some great friends, traded Billy stickers with some fans, was able to listen to my fave Away From The Mire at the rail and got some great merch. Can't wait til my next show!!

      I was there that night and let me be the first to say that he wasn't the only one saying "wtf" myself included. I still say that when I look back at that night. I hadn't ever experienced anything like it as far as music goes and I've seen them all(I'm an old head) these guys are legitimately the tightest band I've ever seen and they continuously out do themselves each time they play. The best BMFS show is the NEXT BMFS show. And he's doing it, selling out well in advance every venue and arena they perform in and with traditional stringed instruments. You could get all the great bluegrass pioneers and contemporary greats still alive all together on one bill under one roof and they still wouldn't be able to sell out one single night in some of the places Billy plays. I know now what the term "melting your face off" means...

    In 100 years I hope this man is held in the same regard as Bethoven or Bach. What he is able to do with any musical instrument of choice is mind boggling. I've listened to this set dozens of times and every time it moves me. Everyone on stage is beyond talented. NEVER LOOSE THIS PASSION.

    Billy... Brother Every Single Time I Hear Your Music It Takes Me Back To The Late 80's Early 90's When I Was A 10 Year Old Boy And My Grandpa Would Come Pick Me Up On Saturday and Sunday Mornings Here In Beautiful South Kentucky and Drive Around Feeding and Doing Other Morning Farm Work Listening to BLUEGRASS MUSIC And After The Farm Work, He Would Take Me to the Little Country Store and Get Me A Little Snack Cake and An Orange Juice, Then We Would Sit Out Front of the Store and Listen to the Other Old Men Talk and Tell Stories. It's Some of My Greatest Memories because My Grandpa Passed Away When I Was 12 and Through Your Music, You Help Take Me Back To Relive Those Times That I Got To Spend With Him! And For You and Your Music, I Thank You Sir!!!

      I miss chorin’ with my gramps on the weekends. We’d feed the horses and shovel out the turds. But he always took me to a little diner in my hometown where him and half a dozen old timers would sit and solve the world’s problems. Or he’d harness a couple ponies and take a drive and we’d both be singing “oh my darlin clementine” at the top of our lungs. He had me fooled that the louder I’d sing, the faster the ponies would trot. Of course he was just tapping the reigns below my eyes. That farm and his way of life are all but gone now. My kids are growing up in the suburbs. Kinda pity them in a way.

      Thats the true jam band way. Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Grateful Dead, and some prog rock groups do this. Really impressive stuff.
