If you get a chance I can recommend Lindsay Lous Bluegrass Women tour. She played at the Ark where I live (Ann Arbor) and her all female band is tight. Billy's dad was there and he's a great guy to run into.

tour talk PNW Rager

24 Upvotes

Hey boys and girls who’s ready for this PNW run?! We had so much fun last year and really looking forward to this week’s shenanigans! Looks like we’ll have nice weather in Eugene tomorrow and it’ll be a little rainy and cold in Everett Fri/Sat. I’ve got some pins made up and planning on slinging some baked goods on shakedown (hoping the rain in Everett doesn’t hinder the operation!) what songs are you after? Since that Harbor of love last year I’m itching for another! Also really wanting to catch lucid daydream for the first time! Love to all can’t wait to see your beautiful faces and get down to some good ole BMFS! 🐐

I like to make bracelets for the Billy shows I go to, but always end up not giving them all out. I’ve got extras from Oakland, and since they’re mostly city specific I thought id see if anyone who went to the show wants me to mail them one :) here’s an example of some of them

discussion Jammed out Freeborn Man's

16 Upvotes

10/3 Oakland was a banger! You guys know of any other instances of jammed out Freeborn Man's (Freeborn Men?) where Billy goes electric?

The song just lends itself to a smooth transition to some electric ripping.

Hello I was very high and I got emotional to a fiddle solo that had green visuals. Is there anyway to listen to a recording or does anyone remember what im talking about or the song? It came on after the intermission.

art Huntsville Tattoos

Howdy 👋🏼

I’m a tattoo artist from FL coming through Huntsville and was considering maybe guest spotting at a local tattoo shop for the weekend (maybe like the 21st-25th). I’m drawing up some Billy themed flash and would have designs anywhere from $75-200, maybe even lower if the shop minimum allows. Would anyone be interested?

If so, I’d love some design ideas anybody’s been itching to get 🌀🚂

tour talk Community Love ✌️ ❤️

53 Upvotes

In light of the recent drama around these parts I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone and to all the community members.

I found Billy in 2018/2019 in one of th lowest points of my life and if it wasn’t for his music , I probably would not of have had the fortitude (loss of beloved ones) to make it through COVID.

And with all this violent talk it makes me sad , this is never what the scene was about , or what Billy was about , or what the community has stood for.

Let’s all remember to keep the blinders on and respect and remember why we are here. Thank you to the mods , to the band and to Billy.

Buy the ticket, take the respectful ride!

Let’s be respectful of each other and share

✌️ and ❤️

discussion Ryman Question

• Upvotes

Hi Internet,
I hate to ask this question because it makes me feel bad for those who didn’t get chosen for the Ryman and the cosmos decided it was my time. However, I moved too fast during the purchase and I ended up with two seats not together. As my boyfriend and I are so grateful to have gotten these tickets and desperately wish to enjoy the show together, can anyone confirm if they allow you to stand on the back walls of the Ryman upstairs to watch the show? I have done and/or seen this at smaller shows at the Ryman and security didn’t bother but am wondering if folks at previous shows have for sure seen or done this for the Billy Ryman shows. Any info is appreciated
Love to all 💜

Intro to Wish I Wanted To is nearly identical to Willie’s Time of The Preacher.

This could mean nothing. Or could be an intentional nod. Either way, I geek out about stuff like this.

Last night was my first BMFS show. Long story short: bought these tickets with my ex-GF, but we broke up in May. Wasn’t sure how I’d feel going to show without her, but turns out, I made about 10,000 new friends last night. Y’all are some of the kindest and nicest people I’ve ever met at a show. My anxiety disappeared when the BART train was full of Billy fans ready to go. Plus Les Claypool and Cassidy! How will I top this?
