As a 70+ year old aficionado of traditional Americana music it so pleases me to know the baton has been passed to the likes of Billy Strings and Marcus King. Regardless of labelled category or genre the best music is that passed as a baton from elders to younger generations. Passing the baton does not dictate exact replicating but a trust that those receiving the baton will carry it forward with just and honest honor to the passer and their passing mentors... This makes for a consistent listening enjoyment for all. May there never be a finish line just a continued passing of the baton thus making a lasting tradition of excellence and shared enjoyment.
I didn’t know who billy strings was until I saw him play early in his adult career sometime 2017 when I was hopping from one festival to the next. He opened with dust in a baggie and I fell in love with the energy he pours into his craft, attention to detail, direction of band cohesion, skill level, humble and jovial attitude on and off the stage, and the homage he is adamant on paying to his torch passers. Such a genuine man, and it is obvious that he has felt raw, motivational hard times that put the blues in his message (both from his instrument and his voice.) my most highly regarded and loved current musician since that day, and am so Grateful that whatever influence and circumstance gave him to us, did so, because he has made some good times great for me, and pulled me through some times I didn’t know I’d be seeing the other side of. I spread the seeds that fall off of his strings every chance and they always blossom into love no matter which unreceptive patch I throw them on. Converting mid 20’s age people to real music these days isn’t so easy as it should be. Such shallow and infertile dirt many of my peers have become but he, and his amazing following are the fertile soil of the Nile only spoken of since the Old Testament.

If Billy muthafuckin Strings dnt give u goose bumps when u hear his band and that voice u have no soul! The way he is so in touch with his music and them 6 strings is something unseen even by those before him and that's no easy feat...
Not only does he appear to be keeping the remaining Bluegrass greats assured thier music is kept alive , traditionally , but this lovely Billy (who's Dad taught him so well ) is also blowing minds with the fusion of R-o-c-k...Excellent concert. Thanks to those who filmed it. xx
I've never been to a concert in my life. Would give anything to see Billy Springs live. Sweet music to my ears. Brings smiles to my lonely face and rhythm to my little feet 😎💜✝️
2 nights at the Capitol NYC. 3600 tickets sold out in less that 24 hours. Pretty damn good for an artist most people wouldn't have a clue who you're talking about.
When I was a kid my mom went out every Sunday night with her church lady friends. My dad gave us three options every Sunday with dinner. A Norman Vincent Peale sermon, or Spanish guitar/Bluegrass on the ole mono record player. We always chose bluegrass. Got to college mid 70's and Will the Circle album and Old and in the Way we wildly popular. Bluegrass never left me! I love all the new band that Bob Weird mentioned. He forgot Railroad Earth.
its been really cool watching Taz go from just playing a nasty solo when he sits in to genuinely jamming with the band and really contributing to the magic happening on stage. He has become so much more of a patient player. Excited to see him keep ripping!
I’ve been a closet bluegrass fan for years, but I never realized how much I loved it until I watched these boys! All 4 of em, consummate musicians, but Billy, Billy, Billy! Some awesome pickin’!
Was talking with some friendly freaks at the concert in Columbia and I made an observation that when your talking about Billy and the guys it's never your favorite albumn it's different concerts like, everybody knows blue ox red rocks which was my first foray into the genius that Billy and the guys are! I've only known of Billy since October of last year(weird right) I guess some of that down time was time well spent! Discovered them and have watched and listened to everything I can find this dude is next level!
@@scottymckay2813 I know this.. been a strings fan since they started. I saw them from the beginning blissfest michigan 2014 Billy Strings & Don Julian
@@scottymckay2813 here is a short clip from 2016 sault theater project this is the place I saw them with less than 100 people. th-cam.com/video/Y2enKbZ5j8Q/w-d-xo.html
So many thumbs to give....for Billy and his crew...to Relix for providing this beauty to us...and to the great humoured people on the live chat...soo funny...Taz...16 going on 60....lol...jokes...peace out...x
No room for politics in a free mind like Billy’s. Political theory, maybe. Moral right and wrong but I can’t see him putting any weight or energy into a candidate that is evil, no matter the side. Let’s be honest, if they make it big in politics, no matter the side, they’ve sold their souls and his ain’t for sell. You can still hear it, fully in tact- alive and well in his beautiful art.
JTS Whitewater Live right...I was exaggerating s tad...but they are fun to watch....I'm tripping over them doing psychedelic shit.,.would've never guessed. ...u don't see shows in our time like this really....not that I'm aware of anyway.....made a failed attempt at getting tickets .,.pffftt weak

Alot of folks think these guys are new but I've been doing my best to listen to everything I can find of these guys and I find it boggling just how much work they have on the Web . IT JUST SEEMS TO KEEP GOING ON AND HAVEN'T HEARD A SONG YET THAT I didn't love. Everyone on that stage is incredible. Thank you lord for this band . And for allowing me to enjoy this band and I hope they make it out west more often cuz I can't wait to see them live. I thought I was into bluestone most, never thought newgrass would take top spot over blues, but here I am , move over blues here comes the grass!!!!
Billy is fantastic as always he is one of the most exciting guitar players I've heard in a while......ill tell you what ...this kid Taz gets it as well 👏 damn.
AHAH! Billy Failing's banjo solo at 7: 24 is a tribute to Peter Tork of the Monkees (died this year)! It is, note for note, straight out of "Last Train To Clarksville"! I had to listen 3-4 X before it came to me. Peter York was the only one of the Monkees they LET play his own instrument! He was actually more proficient at drums and banjo, but the producers wanted him up front on guitar. He had a music career in Greenwich Village. Stephen Stills went to an audition and when he didn't get it, he recommended Tork! He wrote music (and hence, one of the Monkees series closing songs), played piano at the age of nine, then also played drums, banjo, acoustic bass, harpsichord and guitar! He was friends with and jammed with George Harrison!! After they realized how talented he was they "let" him play keyboards, bass guitar, banjo, harpsichord, and more on their recordings. Look it up!
Set 2: Everything’s The Same I’m Still Here > Last Train to Clarksville White Dove Run Down This Heart of Mine > Dealing Despair All Time Low* All Fall Down* Pyramid Country* > Train Train* Encore: Roll On Buddy Roll On * w/ TAZ
@J Brown Did you notice during Run Down at around 17:50, while singing the lyrics "See me here, in your frame", that Billy smiles as he turns to look at his framed photo of Jeff Austin that's on the little table behind him? He loved Jeff.
I was enticed to the bluegrass genre by a great group that I stumbled across here on Ytube. A group called AJ Lee & Blue Summit that has a wonderful mix of old and new original style bluegrass. Found Billy Strings the same way. Great musicians and talent.
think I owned the original Monkees 45 rpm of LTT C. Always dug Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks, "Last Train to Hicksville". Another good destination, as far as last train destinations go.
Yeah it sure as hell is Grampian blue grass at nearly 77 years old I know what a good Jam is all about when I hear it . Good fast and Rite Tight. Markus King and Molly Tuttle check em out.
Holy actual shit, still some tru damn jammers out there, props mr Billy Strings, and Relix for this experience , i just got lost in a trance for 58 mins, \ wooly pig jam fucking sweet

I’m not much into the banjo or mandolin but I think these guys are really good for as young as they are, I think they’ll do some great things, beyond belief, in time, with more experience, exposure to different genres and musical styles playing live and with some maturity, from this cocoon will emerge a beautiful butterfly! Keep going guys!✝️💜
Billy I don't know if you remember me and Rob chirpas Dave chappas and the rest of the cheapest boys my name is John Smith give me a shout out I live here in Lyons near area you doing a great job I love your music keep it up buddy
Taz? That is Jimi Hendricks brought back to life and in a 16yr. old who has so far to go. But I honestly think if t wasn't for Billy reviving/doing the greatest string shredders, Taz would have not come out for years. Few lovers of all old greats rarely get the super talent guitar playing going down in enjoying mainly the song and music with no clue the greatest guitar playing talent is right in front of them. Billy assures that ain't happening anymore.
@@shawnfreeoftyranny8849 have you seen the list of people Taz has played with? Not to mention his years as playing a lead role on Broadway in 'School of Rock the Musical' as the guitarist "Zack Mooneyham". Brandon "Taz" Neiderauer: It all started at eight years old, when Brandon watched the movie School of Rock. Already inspired by his father’s record collection, Brandon instantly realized he was destined to play guitar. From that moment on, his guitar rarely left his hands. Just four years later, Brandon was cast in the principal role of guitarist “Zack Mooneyham” in the Tony Award-nominated Andrew Lloyd Webber Broadway production, School of Rock the Musical. Based in New York City, Brandon has had the opportunity to play with many of his musical idols. In recent years, he’s shared the stage with multiple members of the Allman Brothers Band, including Gregg Allman, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Butch Trucks, and Oteil Burbridge, as well as a variety of other notable musicians, including Buddy Guy, Stevie Nicks, Lady Gaga, Slash, Jon Batiste, Dweezil Zappa, Eric Gales, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Dr. John, Gary Clark Jr., Col. Bruce Hampton, Eric Krasno, George Porter Jr., Robert Randolph, Karl Denson, Doug Wimbish, and John Popper. He has also performed with Tedeschi Trucks Band, The String Cheese Incident, Umphrey's McGee, The Revivalists, Dumpstaphunk, Blackberry Smoke, Galactic, and countless other bands.
@@analisanorton8690 No. In trying to recover from 5 natural disasters, I got locked out of the world for like 2 decades. Though not a player I lived and was open to all genre's of music. Grew up on Old Country + Bluegrass, Teens was Rock, dabbled with any Bands that played a Family Bar that turned to revive Jazz and start a Jazzfest still going 40 yrs. later. Personal friends were Jazz greats Phil Woods, Bob Dorough(who wrote and made all the "School House" Saturday morning Cartoon education songs. Conjuction Junction, Multiplication Rock.)... So I kind of know talent when I see it. I was truly awed by Taz and very struck that he has look and some style playing of Jimi Hendricks. A sincere thank you for filling me in on how even more mind blowing he is, to become that good in 4 yrs. and achieve that much. So awesome in hearing such sad things of current generations but now seeing there is Real good people among them starting to rise up and dose these trying times with such talent us older Gen.'s was sure was gone to Glitz + Glamour/Autotuned Pop crap.
@@shawnfreeoftyranny8849 I'm glad you found Billy and now Taz! I agree, these two players are extremely talented and give us hope for the future of music!
I'm a relatively new Strings fan and I'm loving it. Fantastic energy and playing. Really enjoying the added electric parts here. Now this gives me a thought. What if after Band of Joy Robert Plant would have teamed up with Billy and his band? I thought Band of Joy was the best thing Plant could do and I am of the opinion he went backwards with the Sensational Soundshifters. I was wondering where he could go after Band of Joy still in the Americana way that would be more up and I saw Billy. It could be a fantastic and eclectic pairing. But I digress, Billy and company really rock it on their own...hugely.
As a 70+ year old aficionado of traditional Americana music it so pleases me to know the baton has been passed to the likes of Billy Strings and Marcus King.

It all started at eight years old, when Brandon watched the movie School of Rock. Already inspired by his father’s record collection, Brandon instantly realized he was destined to play guitar. From that moment on, his guitar rarely left his hands. Just four years later, Brandon was cast in the principal role of guitarist “Zack Mooneyham” in the Tony Award-nominated Andrew Lloyd Webber Broadway production, School of Rock the Musical.
Based in New York City, Brandon has had the opportunity to play with many of his musical idols. In recent years, he’s shared the stage with multiple members of the Allman Brothers Band, including Gregg Allman, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Butch Trucks, and Oteil Burbridge, as well as a variety of other notable musicians, including Buddy Guy, Stevie Nicks, Lady Gaga, Slash, Jon Batiste, Dweezil Zappa, Eric Gales, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Dr. John, Gary Clark Jr., Col. Bruce Hampton, Eric Krasno, George Porter Jr., Robert Randolph, Karl Denson, Doug Wimbish, and John Popper. He has also performed with Tedeschi Trucks Band, The String Cheese Incident, Umphrey's McGee, The Revivalists, Dumpstaphunk, Blackberry Smoke, Galactic, and countless other bands.
@@analisanorton8690 No. In trying to recover from 5 natural disasters, I got locked out of the world for like 2 decades. Though not a player I lived and was open to all genre's of music. Grew up on Old Country + Bluegrass, Teens was Rock, dabbled with any Bands that played a Family Bar that turned to revive Jazz and start a Jazzfest still going 40 yrs. later. Personal friends were Jazz greats Phil Woods, Bob Dorough(who wrote and made all the "School House" Saturday morning Cartoon education songs. Conjuction Junction, Multiplication Rock.)... So I kind of know talent when I see it. I was truly awed by Taz and very struck that he has look and some style playing of Jimi Hendricks. A sincere thank you for filling me in on how even more mind blowing he is, to become that good in 4 yrs. and achieve that much. So awesome in hearing such sad things of current generations but now seeing there is Real good people among them starting to rise up and dose these trying times with such talent us older Gen.'s was sure was gone to Glitz + Glamour/Autotuned Pop crap.
@@shawnfreeoftyranny8849 I'm glad you found Billy and now Taz! I agree, these two players are extremely talented and give us hope for the future of music!

He quotes Last Train to Clarksville as an instrumental! Fucking awesome!
I'm a relatively new Strings fan and I'm loving it. Fantastic energy and playing. Really enjoying the added electric parts here. Now this gives me a thought. What if after Band of Joy Robert Plant would have teamed up with Billy and his band? I thought Band of Joy was the best thing Plant could do and I am of the opinion he went backwards with the Sensational Soundshifters. I was wondering where he could go after Band of Joy still in the Americana way that would be more up and I saw Billy. It could be a fantastic and eclectic pairing. But I digress, Billy and company really rock it on their own...hugely.
Impressive
This needs to be listened to on headphones or a good stereo. As great as it is on an iPad, it’s soooo much better on headphones
Taz sounds like early Herring. Col Bruce mentored both of them, so I guess that makes sense.
