Man, I fell down the TH-cam rabbit hole and discovered these guys. Such talent.
Right there with you!
Samesies
Billy Strings rules. I'm jealous of his picking.... I would love to rip some bluegrass like he does. I'm just a strummer and fingerpicker.
Same here!
I learned about him a few weeks back. Looked at his tour dates. A lot of sold out shows and those tickets ain't cheap. Was considering the Snowshoe WV show, but you can't even get a room on the mountain that weekend.
Im 60 year's old and just heard Billy for the first time, Amazing !!! I will listen to him for the rest of my life. Thanks Billy !!!
First heard him at 49, just months ago, and consider myself lucky.
I'm 50 and I feel the same.💕🙏
Another 60 year old here totally blown away. There is hope in this ol' world. Thank you Billy!
hope you're doing great, fine sir.
Good job Ernie
Was recommended dust in a baggie. Now I've been watching Billie Strings content all morning. Every video is amazing.
same here he has a very unique sound...
Mama Bear
Same. I’m stuck on billy for the last hour. Lol
He is so talented
Same!
Edit:All year
Can we all take time to appreciate the whole band here? Billy is straight up fantastic, but this was a team effort and the musicianship here is excellent!
Agreed on both points.
The arrangements are mind blowing
I'm very annoyed that the host at the very beginning only welcomed Billy and talked to him like the others weren't even there, fucking dumb
They should be called Billy Strings Band
I just came across a video of a young kid on a couch playing a song called, "Dust In a Baggie," and for the past 4 days all I've been listening to is Billy Strings. This kid has all the talent in the world and has restored my faith in new talent being there, but having to search for it or me just getting lucky.
Me too my friend!
Danny H. I know just exactly how you feel about Billy Strings and his bandmates. I ran across him on TH-cam bout 3-4 years ago and all but fell out of my chair. Having been raised in the 60s and now 61, I was brought up in a South Georgia family that was very musically talented on my moms side. Got dragged to every Gospel sing and Bluegrass show that came to our hometown of Nashville,Ga. Gospel and Bluegrass style Gospel is still my favorite of all my music styles. Billy is the most talented 6 string acoustic guitar player I've seen live or listened to in my life. Could watch and listen to him and his band All Damn Day Long!!
This boy makes it hard on us old wanna be guitar players.
No S&it!!!
Yeah. Billy and his buddy Marcus King.
Both amazing talents
Been at it 40 years and never came close to sounding like this,gb
rclaws I’m 58 and I’ve relearned 2 chords tonight because of this YOUNG man...hadn’t attempted to play since I was 12 when I gave it up because I didn’t have time...now I wanna learn because I’m running out of time...lol
I had a friend who gave me a guitar today...and said “Dave if you can sing then I wanna hear you play too”
I’m gonna do it...Billy is inspiring, even to us old guys ain’t he my friend?
@@HopeCityChurch_PineKnotKy. like you I to have dropped it just to find I have to much short time and and you can only fish so much,ha,im on lake Cumberland in SE KY, hope we see you on stage you never know how those fingers will fly, Thxs, gb
Almost 4 years to the date of this performance, and I am exactly the 6 thousandth like!
This is most high energy bluegrass group around. You won't sit down if you've seen Billy Strings group live. His exciting performance are without equal.
dlagrua saw him with yonder mountain back wv a few years ago and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Crazy energy
Unless you see him at the Stoughton Opera House near Madison, WI. Sit down only venue. ugh
Agreed, just saw him last weekend in Louisville. Had no idea about him, but now I have a new favorite
@@Griffin6933 Kinda the same here, 3 weeks ago, never heard em before and it was great, And, they allow you to record them on your phone, if you want ! :)
Totally agree. We saw them a couple of nights ago and they were fabulous!
I wish my Dad had been alive when TH-cam recommended these guys...would have made his last year and a half...well, you know.
Bass players seldom get their props, but this cat is a workhorse. Excellent work by all.
That reminds me, I listen to way too much music through my iPad and I’m not doing it justice because obviously the speakers are tiny and bass gets reduced
Billy Strings is one of the things that make life good.
What can I say, the kid is very talented. I"ve been playing for 70 yrs and I"m envious.
20 and i am awestruck
Playing for 70 years? Wow! You must be very, very good! I'd love to hear you play. All the best, fella!
I found Billy Strings and his music tonight. I'm more than grateful. So awesome!
Listening while writing. When you get introduced to Billy’s genius it’s exhilarating and oh so much fun. His respect for and interaction with his own musicians and anyone else on stage with him, makes you just love him more! He’s just special and the most exciting multi-genre musician I’ve heard in a very long time! Once he’s in your blood, he’s got you. He’s your drug of choice and oh so much fun to watch him transform into an instrument of music second to none! BMFS 🐐🐐🐐 go-go-goat!
I listen to his live shows while writing papers for school. Puts me in such a therapeutic/meditation state
I only spent 4 years in Kentucky and Tennessee.. But it was enough to fall for this music for the rest of my life.
You also need to hang out in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Arkansas! Oh
And don't overlook Pennsylvania, New York, and Canada
TH-cam has Billy Strings and his father And they are incredible
As a banjoist that grew up playing death metal, the fact that Billy is wearing a Cryptospy shirt really speaks to me
Oh dude, I didn't notice that lol! Awesome
Real recognize real. Love to see metal represented by artists from other genres.
Not generally a big bluegrasser, but damn... Forgive me guys, but hearing a grown man's voice coming out of a guy who looks like a kid is impressive, and the songwriting is really strong. Instruments shine; that Martin sounds great, and so do the harmonies. I'd go see this band any time...
Quit trying to label everything and dig yaself.
@@tmac8892 Who are you talking to? Clearly not the original comment. Try learning to take a compliment.
David Davol look up The Steeldrivers
I believe he plays Thompson guitars
@@wmstone3914 He does play Thompsons, I think he might be sponsored by them now? But I think the guitar in this video is the Martin D-28 he got from Bryan Sutton.
The future of our beloved Bluegrass music is in the best possible hands with Billy, Molly Tuttle, Greensky Bluegrass, Stringdusters, et al. Such ENORMOUS talents; will power another generation!
Kitchen dwellers!
I like how Billy gets right down to the point! "Sort of a prison song, anyhow 🎼"
Lyrics of "Dust in a Baggy" published at "Genius Lyrics":
[Verse 1]
I ain't slept in seven days, haven't ate in three
Methamphetamine has got a damn good hold of me
My tweaker friends have got me to the point of no return
I just took the lighter to the bulb and watched it burn
[Chorus]
This life of sin has got me in
Well it's got me back in prison once again
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
[Verse 2]
Well if I would have listened to what Mom and Papa said
I wouldn't be locked up in prison, troubled in the head
I took that little pop and sucked until my mind was spun
I got twenty years to sit and think of what I've done
[Chorus]
This life of sin has got me in
Well it's got me back in prison once again
I used my only phone call to contact my daddy
I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I sit and wonder where my little life went wrong
These old jailhouse blues have got me singing this old song
My life is a disaster, Lord and I feel so ashamed
In here where they call by a number, not a name
Yeah that was very cool, and then the follow up was, when asked to introduce song three, he says, "well, this is the last song we're playing here today. It's the title track. *huge smile* "
I am in love with this guy
I laughed so hard at that lol
oh my god that first banjo solo. i'm in love
This band is the most special thing I've seen in the past 40 years! Billy Strings light burns bright!
people like Billy Strings are bringing me back to bluegrass
Billy is already one of the greats! He doesn't get the recognition he deserves yet. After he passes people will say he is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
My new favourite band!
It’s great to hear such a tight group of musicians playing. Impeccable sense of timing and rhythm.
That last song melted my brain completely. They are so tight
4 masters of their art come together and add a little life. What music lovers live for.
Not enough superlatives to shower down on this group and their leader. Destined for greatness in times to come. Great new songs keep coming from him.....Newgrass Bluegrass in good hands here!!
Beautiful, just amazing
blablabla c'est excelent nice beautiful amazing super professionel vraiment j'ai adoré MERCI
Billy truly doesn't need any backing band. The man is a god with a guitar.
Love this kind of music keep up the good tunes billy
The break at 11:55 is a jet fueled fire! Wooo! 🔥
One hell of a songwriter. Great player. Great singer... cool dude
The band is fantastic too. Can’t wait to see these guys.
He’s amazing, but you have to give massive credit to his band for keeping up with him. The banjo player is amazing.
Heart of the blindman...... so happy to hear it again. Thanks Billy.
Woooooeeeeee! These young men put a smile on this old face.❤
All these guys are stupidly good!
I am an older guy that has been in many a mosh pit and had a blast at each one and I like Marilyn Mansons' music fine . We are older but not all think like the people you referred to.
Having said that Marilyn Manson aint no Billy Strings and you guys are the best thing tp happen to Bluegrass music in a long time. Keep it up, stay edgy and maybe I'll be in a Bluegrass mosh someday.
Billy is an amazing player no doubt, but his voice and the song Waiting Here gives me goosebumps. I love how there songs tell a story.
beautiful chops and performance. i'm a 60s, 70s soul, motown, r&b, blues, reggae style performer but i love your sound. nice writing talent too.
I love how much improvisation and spontaneity there is with these guys. The studio recordings are just a template for their live performances.
What a fine band - no slackers here!
Billy Strings, most impressive musician I've seen in a decade at least.
Mind blown
0:22 - While I'm Waiting Here
8:09 - On the Line
13:29 - Turmoil & Tinfoil
Billy is one of the greatest bluegrass pickers *if not the best of my generation.
I saw him down at Terrapin Hill last year during Cabin Fever and he seemed to be havin a damn good time. Looks like he grew his hair out after hangin' with the hippies down on the farm.
I'm gonna watch it again
These guys weave in and out of standard chord and time tunes using a variety of brilliant time changes and glorious discordant passages. Billy Strings is something very special indeed, as are the three lads with him.
I cannot get enough of these guys! Fantastic
Played with a lot of grassers over the years but have to say i never heard a better 5 stringer and all the band works so well together true talent and dedication will always show you guys gotter Thank You All
Billy Strings is a living Legend! Fenominal picker & muscian!!!

Wow. I found Billy and just can`t stop listening. It's just like when I found the dead. Couldn't help it. Again and again. It's just killing me. And I'm so grateful for these kinds of deaths.
Finally get to see him doing al live show in NC in June 2022! One of the Stars of Bluegrass going forward from Now on!
Billy is awesome... He learned a lot of history and needs to tell the stories on stage for preservation sake
This guy is a star I’ve just found him on you tube he will be a great he is really diverse he is awesome ther is nothing this guy can’t play

Yes these guys are amazing , good Americana country bluegrass, Billy strings very old soul, magical. Cheers Billy & band, peace Ali, Boston 🙏🏴🙏
holy shizzle he is epic
This is just so freaking cool. My favorite new artist with the perfect matching band. I listened to all 3 of his CDs back to back to back to back today. I don't know the last time I did that with an artist. They go together really well.
I think they’re going to hit the big time one day ….
@John Malloy - same thing happened to me July 29-30, 2020. Amazing talent flowing through those guys. After a lifetime of playing and listening to strings, props to them each and every one.
I love the raw sincerity and truth of this song.
Holy shit, this guy is fantastic
Slays. Cant wait to catch em again!
Billy, it’s amazing enough how great you are at picking and writing music and lyrics, but man, you have a GOLDEN voice.
Fantastic!!!! They’re so damn good!!
Incredible live!!!!
On top of the world and taking advantage. Good for you. Hitting iron whilst hot. Keep going. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Love it!
Billy Strings is an amazing musician and this song is quite beautiful.
This dude is amazing.
Thank you so much
Holy sh*t I’m blown away... Fantastic band and songs. Just became a fan
Hello! Man oh man I love to see such talent and commitment in your generation! Well done all! I am sure Johnny Cash would’ve loved to have a go at your title track, just the sort of thing he loved in young artists. Your mastery of minor keys really sets you apart, but the outrageous proficiency of the entire band is going to carry you a long way. Already you are being used as an example of excellence in. England, take a look at yourselves with young genius teacher fil from Wings of Pegasus Studio!
Seen these guys last night and they blew me away. Best $20 I've spent recently. Very talented.
Thanks for this. Awesome.
Way to go, Billy and the Boys.
Wishing Billy many successes! Well deserving talent.
it is so nice to hear the mandolin so clearly in this one
Saw these guys in Ithaca NY and I fell in love!
State of the art modern bluegrass. Excellent.
Finally some recordings where his voice sounds like his mike's not turned off. Luv your music dude. :D
All these guys are amazing, Billy Failing , Jarrod Walker, Royal Masaat! God I love these guys William Apostle You sure know how to put together a string band!!!
Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing!!!!!
Wow. What great recorded sound in that room!
Just keeps getting better with each release,
Their timing is amazinn
They’re all so damn good and young. Faaaack
Note to listeners: play this through headphones or speakers, you can't hear that good bass player on your phone speakers. #mandoninfire
Wow! Great stuff
Reinvention of the Grateful Dead with superlative musicians. Thanks to all four of you!
Impossible
After 5 sec of the begin of the first song, I gave the thumps up!!!!
Incredible amount of talent, and they harmonize so good together. Amazing music!
Just so important and universally relevant ...right? 😊
Superior musicianship. Thanks for developing and sharing your gift
So tight. Kudos to the sound man too.
man, love that hard driving bluegrass ! go go go
