[@danahorton9841]

There is nothing better than songs & performances which are not only beautiful but make you smile.

[@mattvdh]

the banjo dude always has a look of surprise and boredom even in the grooviest of shredding

[@horus909]

that would be the other billy

[@patcoleman8443]

his leg is moving :)

[@wetdroidedition2549]

He is a milenial - emo kind of banjo dude

[@arctichare8185]

That's embarrassment due to the pretentious young feller on the flat top.

[@travisdavis1601]

It's called hard work, talent is just a kickstart.

[@benfl305ify]

Billy Strings - awesome. Banjo man - awesome. Mandolin player - flippin amazing times a million!

[@mackylimb2698]

That's one of the best stories I have ever heard. Love the tunes!!

[@HighLeeCoyote]

I "think" I can pick the lead on this. Sounds like a pretty safe bet to me. Thanks for the great music, guys! I love it.

[@MrJasdog107]

This young guy is proof that you have many lives and he picked guitar in all of his .

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Strings is the future of American music. Amazing.

[@JERRYF16]

I found it each song is like opening a new gift. Billy you and your band are so talented. I just ran across your music recently and I’m so glad Need some west coast shows. 🎤🎸🎶😎

[@markhoffman2237]

Astounding! What amazing players, and what fantastic joy you convey as you play!

[@collegestatistics]

The bajo player always looks like he's just relaxing while he's playing every note so clean and crisp and absolutely perfect. If anyone knows a documentary on him please put up a link.

[@windy-lake231]

Great performance! Great recording!

[@hochbob]

Insanely excellent!! Mr. Ziggy, your comment is unfounded. I say that not only as a listener but as a picker.

[@troytaylor9228]

Stunning performance!

[@musicbymark]

hey Billy, greetings from Iron Mountain Michigan. Have you ever heard the takeoff on this song that uses the Beaumont rag Melody but has a great lyric about a music venue / pub called " jacks red cheetah". super fun song to play and sing and I think your fans would love hearing you add the vocal to this. I'm sure you could have some great vocal arrangements from your bandmates!

[@ladyofthewoods2448]

Very nice story Sweet and talented

[@chrismandros3087]

there is no question that Billy strings SMOKES! The question is WHAT? and where can I GET SOME?!

[@killerriot22]

There's plenty in these hills. Nothin better than some hand-grown home country cooking!

[@idiedtoo1425]

Going to see him in June, I’ll report back😉

[@davedawave4705]

Just pure joy!

[@markminton8974]

Doc& Chet would be so Proud of Billy..

[@JoeBanjo88]

insane mando break

[@donnad6870]

Incredible!!

[@justinsmith847]

Bobby bouche momma would think dis da debul but I love it lol give it up for Billy strings y'all

[@hankbailey2306]

Coolest thing is???? I'm about 35.6 miles from where he was raised. I'm in Grand Rapids Michigan. I'm from Cadillsc, Michigan! The chance of him going from Ionia County to Traverse city without passing "close" to Cadillac is hard to accept. Hey, it's my fantasy..leave an old guy alone! Working on my 5th album right now and I've "Changed" because of Mr. Apostle..... I'm NOT blue-grass But I've Changed....

[@beer1for2break3fast4]

So much talent on that stage. This is one tight band!

[@NPMCaptain]

That’s awesome

[@ntimo18]

Jake Paul on the mandolin. Awesome

[@michaeldixon5126]

Billy and Jesse Stewart are both great

[@agnome1176]

GOFBG* Never Gets Old, And If It doses, It' goes down like fine (corny) whiskey Rippin' `n Trippin' on 💥🔊😎*Good Old Fashion BlueGrass ! 😀😍🏄‍♀️🎼🌹🌹🔥✨⚡😹

[@cathymallen2690]

Great rendition of Beaumont Rag. I'd like to know the names of all of the players.

[@zbigniewchrysler3019]

Bass--Royal Masat, Banjo--Billy Failing, Guitar--Billy Strings. Mandolin player is unknown to me. Usually it is Jarrod Walker.

[@allanpolk2681]

If talent and musicianship were water, that place just got hit by a forty foot high tsunami.

[@oolongish]

Get yee up to Canada!

[@cantreLs]

is that Zach Galifianakis on the mandolin ?

[@Ida-Adriana]

what!??! isn't it just another a bearded guy?!

[@dougalexander7204]

Dig it.

[@terryhouser]

What is hanging off all of their left forearms????

[@donniemckenzie5848]

Pick-it Son.

[@jesteronetime]

oh come on..clearly proof of alian life

[@anoicinfo4414]

Sorry, playing fast is not a substitute for playing tastefully.

[@tgkoski306]

Love Billy's pickin, but sorry not a fan of the banjo. Wish Billy would do a a set of just him like his earlier sets. The Banjo and mandolin are good musicians but take away from the experience of listening to a master.

[@joshuatate5671]

Bluegrass isn't a one man show. It's a group deal. That's what makes it what it is.

[@MrZiggy-pm9rz]

Billy is spot on with his pickin'. Can't say the same for the banjo - why ruin the melody? If you can't play a song, skip your break.

[@louisbluescat]

Thats a perfectly fine banjo break. Let's hear your rendition!

[@ronmercer7853]

Know anything about banjo playing Mr. Ziggy.....Get your sound system fixed.....perfect on mine......

[@jacobsingletary4608]

Mr. Ziggy is a prick and a sorry stickler that’s a mighty fine picking and a grinnin’

[@kennewton5877]

Mr. Ziggy I suppose you think that Mandolin screwed up the tempo and the bass played 2 wrong notes. I’m curious what instrument you play.

[@moranpro]

Wish I could play that badly.
