Same here! I also am a Gramma. used to play with my dad and relatives when I was ten or so, real friends and family hoedowns in our house. I miss that a lot, and Billy and friends help fill me up! Thanks to all who support and enjoy him as much as we do!
There are some outstanding musicians on that stage but must say Michael Cleveland on fiddle is on a totally different level. This guy must be from a different planet to play like that. Born legally blind and deaf in one year he's absolutely the best that bluegrass has to offer.
Today I turned 71yrs old. I've been messing around with guitars all my life. I can't claim to be any good, but I can pick a little, and I'd give my eye tooth to sit in with them one session. Many blessings to you.
I've been binge watching his shows and it is something that always stands out to me. Whether his own band or guests sitting in with them. He is just genuinely pleased to see others get some spotlight and enjoys their playing.
I rebut: Dirt Band, "Will the Circle", vol 2 1989. Check it out, CASH, Acuff, Earl, Prine, Emmylou, Skaggs, Roger McGuinn, Marty Stewart, the list goes on. But this might be in the running for second.
ZERO RESPECT for bill strings. What sort of HYENA or JACKAL does someone have to be,... to end a gospel standard with,... "THANK YOU MOTHER F@#KERS!!!". What a putrid role model for young people. Pure dumpster juice,... and you want him to do a "gospel" album???????????????????????
@@Forevertrue what a stupid comment from one of this typical ignorant follower of the book of morons. I know good music when I hear one. BTW. This is the music they played when the good religious people of the kkk hanged colored folks. So much for good Christians.

@@danielwmwolf You're defining God by those who claim to follow Him, yet how can a follower ever define that which he follows? He is by his very nature (follower) derivative. At best. The truth is, every one of us belongs to many categories, and the fact that the person himself is evil, does not in and of itself invalidate a single one of those categories. That same Klan idiot you rightly trash as a racist, does not, cannot invalidate all Christians, anymore than he can invalidate all members of his job, his family, his county, his high school or his softball team. He is a member of all those organizations, but none of them are awful just because he is. They stand or fall on their own merits, not on his! So what if a sinful Klansman wrongly claims to be a church member, or uses its hymns as the soundtrack for his many sins? He's still wrong because his racism defines him as such, and God is still right, because His goodness defines Him as such! It just doesn't make sense that the creature can define the Creator. It's wishful thinking, and is in fact just an excuse to trash that which you do not want to believe or adhere to anyway. Which is fine, that's your choice -- in fact, it can only _be_ your choice. But at least be honest about it!
Im heading from Pittsburgh to Savannah tomarrow by way of the Shenandoah valley. Bluegrass all the way. My gf is going to hate me. But im sure the baby is going to love it. He loves when i sing.
I understand there is so much more talent on that stage, but Billy Strings and his music is keeping me alive right now. I only found out about him last week. I don't want to think where I be if I didn't.
Well... all you are those who know about, no doubt. But from Argentina, I see this show really great! It's exciting to be watching an hearing monsters like Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull and other, all join, playing for me!
Notice how Billy gave every single musician on stage their chance to shine with a solo. Some didn't take it, like the bearded man pink shirt with the martin, but everyone was offered. And the smile on his face and how much he appreciated each solo.. I aspire to be nearly as good of a musician as any of them some day!
I bet old hank, is up in heaven smiling from ear to ear. I could just picture old hank standing right here on that stage next to Billy, singing away! I believe hank, would give you a A+ Billy!
The look of joy on his face as Billy watches others shine is awesome . Everytime I see him play with other musicians he has that smile like a kid in a candy store with a pocket full of quarters . I dont know all of the musicians names , but I know there was a stage full of talent there .
My son in Pa. Goes to every Billy Strings concert he can . Drives several hundred miles to his concerts. He got me I interested in Billy's music 2 years ago & I'm a big fan. If Billy comes to Tulsa I'll be there!!
Just recently discovered Billy Strings......now I can't get enough!! That's a group of some serious talent up there.....only thing missing is Marcus King!!
Country tune played with electric instruments being called bluegrass. I’d call that genuine love and confusion. A great refute to anyone claiming today’s artists don’t care or understand their forefathers. Praise the Lord, they saw the light!
Love this!! Before Billy was born, I met his Dad ( Terry) at a Bluegrass festival in Lyons/Muir, through Brad Lasco! Amazing talent!! Hank is probably watching from Heaven and smiling!!
Absolutely INCREDIBLE !! All these beautiful young and older musicians on stage together for a crazy jam !!! I loved it !! Thank you guys !! Billy has such an amazing voice and talent. Thank you Billy !!
Wow! Love everyone's comments and y'all are right on that Billy loves to share the spotlight! The future of our beloved bluegrass music is in good hands with this troop!
Wow!! I am watching some I saw the Light videos on TH-cam, to get some inspiration when I will perform it myself with a group of musicians in my church, but I can just listen in awe, and don’t dare to perform myself next month after hearing this!!!
I love how Billy is willing to share the stage with everyone up there. And when the bass man stepped up, I was like oohh yeah brother, let me hear it. Very cool 😎
Good luck with God's grace. ZERO RESPECT for bill strings. What sort of HYENA or JACKAL does someone have to be,... to end a gospel standard with,... "THANK YOU MOTHER F@#KERS!!!". What a putrid role model for young people. Pure dumpster juice.
Growing up in the Appies, I have seen a smaller version of this many times at church on Sunday morning, and it was this beautiful. I believe church is where the first electric guitar and amp were introduced into traditional bluegrass. Cpl of these kids look like they may have seen it too. Being Terry Barber's son, Billy prob has. Moral....at least one positive thing came from that "old time religion"...damn good music.
I believe Billy Strings is destined to be to bluegrass music what Willie Nelson or Hank Williams has been to country music. In 30 years he will be an American legend and will be credited for redefining and taking bluegrass to another level. He already has.
They will find him in a motel dead in less than a decade if he doesn't find his way. ZERO RESPECT for bill strings. What sort of HYENA or JACKAL does someone have to be,... to end a gospel standard with,... "THANK YOU MOTHER F@#KERS!!!". What a putrid role model for young people. Pure dumpster juice.

ALL GOOD RIGHT??? Who are you to JUDGE, right??? The sad and pathetic truth is that you use the "live and let live" cliche and the "who are you to judge" lyrics, in a clear and obvious attempt to cloak your cowardice.

"decent or indecent" behaviour,... because you know attempting to look "intellectual" is preferable to revealing your true lack of vertebrae and acute cowardice. Again, you are correct, sir. Certainly better to be guilty of being an "intellectual",... rather than a spineless worm unwilling and incapable of protecting and standing up for his wife and children, right??? Just know that a lot of people see it for what it is, sir. Even your wife and kids will eventually see through it. Cheers!
Ugh, I love this so much! And of course, as much as I love Billy, I'm straight up in love with Sierra Hull and Molly Tuttle. But then again, who isn't? ;)
I’m a grandma and just discovered Billy. Once in a generation someone like Billy comes along. Glad I lived to see it!
Same here! I also am a Gramma. used to play with my dad and relatives when I was ten or so, real friends and family hoedowns in our house. I miss that a lot, and Billy and friends help fill me up! Thanks to all who support and enjoy him as much as we do!
Agreed! Billy Strings is the new leader of Bluegrass!
Me too. Its' good to see young people realizing we need the lord in our lives.
@@kellyschultz485 Equal to Molly Tuttle and Sierra Hull.
There are some outstanding musicians on that stage but must say Michael Cleveland on fiddle is on a totally different level. This guy must be from a different planet to play like that. Born legally blind and deaf in one year he's absolutely the best that bluegrass has to offer.
I'm so blown away by his talent! Everyone is awesome.. but he is on another level with all that effortless creativity.
Oh but if you saw him live, you'd scream this from the rooftops. Man's a savage
Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, and Sierra Hull together is GOLD!
And Michael Cleveland! Yes, Gold!
Don't sleep on Daniel either
Billy Failings on banjo is fire
Today I turned 71yrs old. I've been messing around with guitars all my life. I can't claim to be any good, but I can pick a little, and I'd give my eye tooth to sit in with them one session. Many blessings to you.
When you’re an older musician there’s no better feeling on the planet than watching a bunch of youngsters up on stage tearing it up.
He is playing with the best fiddle player in our generation
Cleveland is the Vasser Clements of today
Chris Fillingim whats his name buddy? I stumbled across billy strings about 6 days ago and I’m hooked.
All those new blue grass stars playing Hank Williams song. Dont get much better
@@timusa3937 answered my question and some Tim, so thanks buddy, anyone else like Billy strings you can recommend I can listen to?
Tim USA k cool I’ll check it out, have you stumbled across Jake Simpson on the fiddle?
That stage represents the future of bluegrass and it's in great hands....
They might wanna learn how to play together some time
The Dead South!!!!
Indeed. An astute observation and I concur. I think he is going to carry country with him. Its certainly needs help.
@@hankdapper8239 that's when the egos are lifted to the music. Billy and Molly have that capacity.
@J T Gotta overlook the trolls!
It’s great how Billy smiles and appreciates every solo being played
His personality matches his virtuosity on guitar. He does everything right.
It truly is
The term, "Total class act," comes immediately to mind when I think about Billy Strings.
I've been binge watching his shows and it is something that always stands out to me. Whether his own band or guests sitting in with them. He is just genuinely pleased to see others get some spotlight and enjoys their playing.
He is humble and will come out and greet his fans after every show.
This might just be the most talent on one stage I've ever seen.
I rebut: Dirt Band, "Will the Circle", vol 2 1989. Check it out, CASH, Acuff, Earl, Prine, Emmylou, Skaggs, Roger McGuinn, Marty Stewart, the list goes on. But this might be in the running for second.
Nah this is certainly the most talent on stage anyone has seen
Would love for Billy Strings to record an all gospel CD! Love your music!!
ZERO RESPECT for bill strings. What sort of HYENA or JACKAL does someone have to be,... to end a gospel standard with,... "THANK YOU MOTHER F@#KERS!!!". What a putrid role model for young people. Pure dumpster juice,... and you want him to do a "gospel" album???????????????????????
Billy is the gospel
The future of bluegrass music is in safe hands
A bluegrass jam with bass AND drum solos!
I feel sorry those who gave this a thumbs down, for they must be in a dark pace in their lives.. Pray for them.

Yeah, hopefully they see the light!
This show was worth every minute in the car for our 1400 mile round trip from Buffalo NY!!!
So lucky! BS is first on my list to see live. Had tickets before all the shutdowns happened.
Im heading from Pittsburgh to Savannah tomarrow by way of the Shenandoah valley. Bluegrass all the way. My gf is going to hate me. But im sure the baby is going to love it. He loves when i sing.
@@michaelmcaninch8639 I'm jealous. That's a beautiful drive. And your gf will will learn to love it lol
Let me guess. You went to Florida
Billy was born to be a bandleader
I love how Billy always makes sure to share the spotlight with everyone around him. He is one of a kind! Love him! ❤️
That seems to be a trait of the true greats in music. The ability to share the spotlight with other great talent.
Thank you Billy Strings for keep something that is very dear to me alive and flourishing. I appreciate you! .
Boy, is Hank ever smiling. God bless y'all
I understand there is so much more talent on that stage, but Billy Strings and his music is keeping me alive right now. I only found out about him last week. I don't want to think where I be if I didn't.
Did ya hear them Hank?We'll never forget you BROTHER!🗽👍💕
Such a happy song performed by a talented group. Thanks.
Well... all you are those who know about, no doubt.
But from Argentina, I see this show really great!
It's exciting to be watching an hearing monsters like Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull and other, all join, playing for me!
And the girl from Della Mae!! I dont remember her name
The fiddler... he comes from other Galaxy! Great!
And the song!!! I saw the light!!! I cannot to beg more!
Notice how Billy gave every single musician on stage their chance to shine with a solo. Some didn't take it, like the bearded man pink shirt with the martin, but everyone was offered. And the smile on his face and how much he appreciated each solo.. I aspire to be nearly as good of a musician as any of them some day!
Thats how the song is always done
He tried his amp connection wasn't working.
Acoustic guy was like, nah thanks...
Lol.
It's a Bluegrass thing. Very common among pickers. Just another reason to love Bluegrass!

Michael makes sound so easy wow what a talented musician.
Ladies and Gentlemen, you have just witnessed some of the very best in the business.
If this video doesn't put a smile on your face and give you goose bumps, you might be heartless ....INCREDIBLE!
Mighty fine picking
And singing!!
Wow. Just discovered Billy Strings this week.
Man, I just keep loving Billy Strings more and more. What an awesome dude, and talent!
For real brother!! I never heard of him until recently. So cool. My other new go to is Justin Johnson.
Hey! Hey
!! WE ALL saw the light of your music! Onward!
Hank Sr. smiling down from heaven right here!❤️🔥💯
I really love how respectful Billy is of the other players and loves watching them do their breaks.
what do you expect him to do? they're his guests in his show. This comment is a bit ridiculous...
@@say-cred you must not watch a lot of jams like this.
Again and again Billy shows his tremendous growth and artistry. Michael is there swinging perfection
OMG! What a lineup!
I bet old hank, is up in heaven smiling from ear to ear. I could just picture old hank standing right here on that stage next to Billy, singing away! I believe hank, would give you a A+ Billy!
Billy is such a nice man and great talent, I just can't get enough...
Awesome. Going through a hard time in my life. Hearing this made me want to go on & stay strong.
The look of joy on his face as Billy watches others shine is awesome . Everytime I see him play with other musicians he has that smile like a kid in a candy store with a pocket full of quarters . I dont know all of the musicians names , but I know there was a stage full of talent there .

Love Royal's electric bass run!
and if they stumble or falter Billy rescues.......Billy is gifted
So much joy shared from that stage! Love the Christmas hats! Watching 2021.

I love the way he includes the girls as total equals, as they truly are
Sometimes there is no room for improvement. This is some of the best I’ve ever heard ! Incredible talent. Beautiful
Praise the Lord, I saw the LIGHT ❤
Fell asleep on the couch about 4 years ago and woke up to this. Been a Billy strings fan since.
If it wasn't for covid I wish for Billie Strings to come and perform in my home town of El Paso Texas!!!!! WooHoooo!!!! Yes sirrr!!!! Brother!!!!
Damn nice to hear a couple of good ol' Teles thrown into the mix!
Gotta love the Teles!!..😁
Amazing bunch of musicians, playing one of my favorites. God Bless you all!
Glad to hear the electric bassist take a break for once! Well deserved!
Royal is one of the most talented on that stage……yes I know what I just said"…..
When Willie passes, we need an heir apparent. I nominate Billy Strings.
From one Willy to another ~~~
He's got the long hair so I agree 👍🏻
And Willie’s son Lukas
Love this!! Before Billy was born, I met his Dad ( Terry) at a Bluegrass festival in Lyons/Muir, through Brad Lasco! Amazing talent!! Hank is probably watching from Heaven and smiling!!

Could be the best jamming session ever 🎶🎵🎼
The Gospel is at the roots of bluegrass, it is undeniable!
Wow! This is AMAZING!! 💜🎻🎼🎻💜
Billy is amazing at bluegrass A ND I just watched a clip of him the Spokane classic Elizabeth Reed...incredible!
Credits do to the amaizing Hank Williams. Had 11 #1 hits. Died age 29. 1953.
Yep Billy like always smoke and play😉
The one with the violen is the best in the world
