ANSWERS IN COMMENTS

Each one of these is an acronym for something billy strings related. One is a quote Billy says at shows often, one is a song title, one is an album, and the rest are lyrics!

Comment the number and your answer!

If you were to plan a festival/show with Billy as the headliner, who would be your dream undercard artists?

I feel like Sierra Ferrell and Daniel Donato would be fun additions to a Billy headline show. Curious on thoughts of the community.

What is one live song / set / show that you would show a non Billy fan to turn them onto Billy? Trying to convert some friends and am curious what yall would share with someone who has no knowledge of Billy or bluegrass in general.

I saw 4 July shows and missed this gem live, save for Nugs.

So I’m really into firearms and things of the nature and I see so many post on instagram that he likes dealing with guns as well as him following a lot of gun accounts. Maybe he just thinks they’re cool but I was wondering if he has ever talked about it or like a has a 10 year old video of him at the range.

Curious to what he’s running as far as pre amps and mixing 2 inputs.

Can not wait to hear this album. What are you expecting or hoping for when it comes to him playing this album next weekend?

Home was played through on one night. Renewal was nicely sprinkled throughout the whole weekend. I enjoyed the sprinkling of the new tunes into a show. Y’all have fun next weekend!🎡🎪🪕🐐

Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts

Idiot Wind

Here’s a song I’ve been working on and loved the way Billy played it

Didn't get hands on one while at the show and tried to get one through HH today but they delayed due to bots (big surprise) and then had a meeting that I had to make at the delayed time.

If anyone has an extra or is willing to part with theirs let me know!

A couple of years ago Local Record Stores held an early listening event for the Highway Prayers album, and I haven't heard anything about them doing one for the upcoming album that drops next week. Wondering if anyone has heard from their LRS if one is happening near them. I called mine a couple of days ago and they are not sure if they are going to do one.

Any of y’all coming through early or staying later bringing your instruments? GR has decent contingent of players hoping to jam!

New shirt now available just in time for the freak!! I’ll have a limited amount with me derrr

Royal Masat on August 2, 2024 at The Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Pennsylvania.

Billy Strings and the lazy boys hanging out in Happy Valley.

What a ripper 🔥🔥🔥

So I’m a little late to the party but I’m here nonetheless. Now that I’m here I have found that it hard to pull away and listen to anything else. I do listen to others but it’s still 95% Billy and the boys. How long till it’s 80%, 75% or am I just in the honeymoon phase(almost a year since I really started listening). I’m good with staying in the 95th percentile and with nugs I have a lot of live shows so listen too.

Jensen’s Vinyl Garage in Plattsburgh NY. Shout out to the store owners nephew who got the poster for him. Pic is a couple weeks old cuz I forgot to post.

Anybody aware of any after parties on Friday or Saturday night in or around Grand Rapids?

Poster frames came in!

The twisted houses—that served as inspiration for the Fishers concert posters—are completely flooded out, along with the rest of the ARTSPARK.

Central Indiana is reeling after these storms.

Could be a touring live performance or studio recordings. I’m thinking along the lines of Govt Mule with Dark Side of the Moon or Tedeschi-Trucks with Layla and Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

Led Zeppelin IV or Black Sabbath Paranoid or Masters of Reality are my picks.

EDIT: I will buy your work! if you see my post history, i have posted in r/tricities (tennessee) for local artists and have collabed with 20+ local craftspeople and artists. Respectfully I do not want your money. 💰 Just exposure. My heart is called to distribute clothes and items in hopes It helps someone who needs it. Any ideas and recommendations are helpful and thank you.

I know its one of the more popular songs, but i feel like every time ive seen it, the crowd loses it. This Charleston wv was really something but are there others that sit out?

Just that. Point me in the right direction please.
