This is Salt Creek

[@AllenEvanWright]

Salt Creek 100%

[@TN-D18]

Like Grisman and Rice finding each other, nearly 50 years later Chris Thile and Billy Strings have done the same.

[@MikeontheMandolin]

Yeah I logged in just to say that. Totally Salt Creek.

[@dansanjuanenterprise5244]

🎵…. AND, with such ease. Not one, but TWO GENIUSES in my book ! 🎶
fUN.

[@4uRicki]

Off the charts technical skill as well as improvisational. Simply superb!! 👌🏼

[@JPM-NM]

Billy's rhythm playing really shines when he plays with Chris. He's almost a different player! Reminds me of Thile and Sutton when they play together.

[@austenrobinson2747]

He HAS to step it up. Otherwise no chance he stays with Thile. He’s on another planet. Looks like Billy feels more at ease the send time. They both love to play grass. The grins on their faces tells everything.

[@jayfreewood3695]

Those two play like they have played this together 100 times. Excellent playing with lots of interesting twists.

[@vonarndt111]

Wow thanks for sharing these. I wouldn't have seen this otherwise.

Thanks for posting

[@dcrawford73]

Thanks for sharing

[@austenrobinson2747]

They played these 2 in NYC in Feb. Totally different this time. Billy looks more relaxed this time (who wouldn’t). Also the tempo a little slower. Still bad ass though.

[@alro11]

really Telluride has never asked Bill Strings and his amazing band to headline the festival???? WOW! they better get on it - tickets will sell out !

[@shlamalama]

It sells out every year with or without him.

[@MightyTastyGuitar]

amazing footage... thanks for posting!

[@ZionForman]

this is called Salt Creek

[@sshatrow84]

The next evolution....

[@tomcarpenter2442]

Definitely Salt Creek

[@austenrobinson2747]

Not sure who keeps up with who in this improv stuff. Seems like it would be Chris following Billy. You never know what Thile is going to do or exactly where he’s heading.

[@ivanrosemusic]

Salt Creek -> Monroe's Hornpipe!
