Unfortunately Billy grew up around drugs but he decided to leave home to pursue his dreams. He now sells out concerts worldwide. That song was about a friend of his

[@docdarlin5491]

Who told you this ?

[@kachoww5981]

He sells them out? How big are the clubs?

​@docdarlin5491 billy has. He also helped his parents get sober so that's good. This song Is about his friend though

[@bukker]

[@ghoulinthegraveyard399]

@@kachoww5981 Well, sounds like someone is jealous. Who is paying to come see you? All it does is take one person to move a life through creativity. I think you never stood up and performed in front of anyone.

[@myownchannel247]

He’s changed forever what’s possible in Bluegrass music and still honors the traditional players that came before him, all while still in his 20’s 👍 Turmoil and Tinfoil next!

[@daveshep9400]

Billy was brought up on Bluegrass, but took a teen rebellion turn to heavy metal. Turmoil and Tinfoil showcases his experience with metal chord progressions and tempos with the jam band soloing. Kudos to his band in that song.

[@ajschroetlin2196]

I would say that credit goes to bands like Yonder Mountain String Band, Leftover Salmon, and The String Cheese Incident. They were bending the genre well before Billy.

[@iamPROTOTYPE]

hes 30

[@brianbarnett1004]

I am an Uber driver. There was a Billy Strings concert in town. He sold out 3 straight nights. His fans were having a blast!!! Lots of hippies under the influence of 🍄 & 420. Since that show I have taken a deep dive into Billy Strings. Love it!!

[@kevinl.johnson4549]

I attended a Billy Strings concert and I can only describe the crowd as a mix of camo and tie dye held together by the music and a lot of herb being smoked. It was a blast!

[@FrankUnknown]

Check out "Turmoil and Tinfoil" if y'all wanna see Billy tear it up on stage. The guy's just an absolutely insane guitarist.

[@jguitarz1]

That and "Meet me at the Creek" live!

Hell yeah, good call or his cover of Nutshell!

[@powerface71]

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!

[@TheFunkengroovin]

Dust in a Baggie was my first exposure to him about a year ago!... He's awesome!

[@SkankyYank]

Bustin' out the Bluegrass!! ... Billy is one of a number of incredibly talented young emerging Bluegrass Artists (Watchhouse, Molly Tuttle, The Punch Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show). Going to see him play the Greek Theatre with his band next month.

[@TheColemark]

Greensky bluegrass

[@billy9497able]

Well I would t say old crow is young and emerging but I still love them

[@JoeMama410]

I wouldn’t call Punch Brothers young and emerging either, but Sierra Hull is a younger act that deserves attention.

[@SkankyYank]

@@JoeMama410 Agree … they’ve been around quite a while, still young though very seasoned. And Sierra belongs on any young and talented list.

[@kommentkingtopdogboss]

Billy is from my home town of traverse city Michigan... it's crazy how he blew up! He would play all our local bars ... people would line up and it was always always packed ... girls dancing on tables and just such a fun show ... he would ALWAYS talk to you in between sets or after shows... back then he played with a mandolin player named Don Julian (I think that was his name lol) ... once Billy blew up, he left that dude behind and just exploded ... I mean, we would see this kid playing on front street down town traverse ... then one day he's blowing up the bars ... next thing you know you can't even see him unless you travel lol ...Northern michigan misses him ... looking back, it was unbelievable that we had this talent and almost took him for granted ... at the end of the day, I'm very happy his art is reaching so any and that he is experiencing such success ... note to all that reads this ... when you meet a local playing the bar scene... take the time to get to know them cause one day they may disappear into the big leagues and you will miss those experiences when the person is swooped up by the big leagues ... awesome you reacted to this lol ... l seen him play like 30 times and then he was gone lol... no local legands have come since ... but I take pleasure knowing I got to watch this brother come up

[@majorharper4087]

I saw Billy at the Horizon book store.

[@ImGazu]

I'm happy for him but still... dude ditched his homie just like that?? That's cold.

[@jacoboconnor4404]

He is not. I’ve been friends with bill for a long time. His older brother was best man in my wedding. He’s from the village of Muir and went to school with me in Ionia. He didn’t move to TC until like 2012.

[@kommentkingtopdogboss]

Maybe so, but he was here for a long time... he definitely played on the street ... I for sure saw him a bunch of times as he was coming up ... he was here at the same time he got famous ... I mean, I'm sure your telling the truth ... but none the less, TC still claims him

[@kommentkingtopdogboss]

@gazu. yup! He left him in the dust in the baggie lol ... I'm not sure what happened or why, but one day he had a new line up and you know the story ... out with the old...

[@jguitarz1]

As a guitarist myself since I was about 13, 47 now Billy is one of those guys that rarely come along. Every genre of music from blues, rock, metal and blugrass there is that one guitarist or bass player that created their own style and sound and unlike many others and Billy is one of those guitarist today, a gem in the rough for sure. Another guitarist to check out in today's music I would recommend is Tim Henson and his band Polyphia, different genre but another like Billy. And congrats on the little one!

[@robertcherman]

One year younger than you, and have been around musicians my whole life and played myself, I totally agree with you on Billy.

[@TheTikiMan]

You just opened another pandoras box. His Red Rocks concert is amazing. The set with Jackson Brown is great. The kid is talented.

[@JoeMama410]

That kind of guitar playing is a combination of inborn talent, hard work, and years of playing with other musicians, picking up licks and making them your own.

[@frankk8018]

I am glad you guys found this. He's a very interesting character, his dad is a well known guitarist. Great channel, cheers!

[@joesmith8725]

This is good! Nice ole bluegrass (fast twangy country music, normally with banjos, fiddles, and mandolins, etc). Mountain music, Like Grennsky Bluegrass, Cody Jinks, Foggy Mountain Boys, Del McCoury Band, Charlie Daniels Band, OSbourne Brothers, Earl Scruggs, Bill Monroe, The Infamous Stringdusters, etc "Watch it Fall" is another good video from Billy Strings .

[@randomperson-dy6kj]

Billy and Bela Fleck playing ‘Bolderdash’ together is pretty awesome. Bluegrass/newgrass is so enthralling to watch (and to hear, of course!)

[@crchalmers2012]

Seen Billy perform live in Scotland this past December. Phenomenal guitarist and a great concert!

[@keithhorrigan6230]

First time I saw this video I was hooked. The speed and perfection of his fingering those cords alone is beyond what’s natural. And the way the words fit so effortlessly into the melody and the natural way they flow together linguistically and then you hear a back woods hillbilly singing about dust in a baggy and not trains or drinking or anything of what you’d expect to hear? I think you were spot on when you said a prodigy,, Love this kid!

[@sqaure4175]

Billy is a real thug. This is the perfect representation of country hicks. As powerful as any hip hop representative

[@ZChoate]

YES

[@SkipFrontzJr]

We did a gig together in Indiana before he got signed. I can disclose no details about afterward haha Billy is a great guy and deserves everything he's gotten!

[@endocry]

WOW Awesome to see y’all trying out Billy Strings! Please check out more of his stuff.

[@MonicaDBrini]

You owe it to yourself to see him with his full set upon stage at the Opry!

[@williamhill6447]

Billy Strings is a star-- at the beginning phase of his career.

[@auralfixxation6702]

This guy is actually an amazing Bluegrass guitarist.

[@debrabeck9630]

Billy Strings is amazing. Old time bluegrass with some modern swag. I was introduced to him playing “If Your Hair’s Too Long” with his band. Made me laugh and knocked my socks off. Billy Strings reminds me of Doc Watson, in the best kind of way.

[@joedonlewis9820]

He's playing arenas now. A 23 y/o girl I work with said it was the best concert she had ever seen. That's what you call flat picking. His rival, and possibly lover, Molly Tuttle is the two time world champion flat picker. She has a new album Crooked Tree. The title track is awesome.

[@alimac1469]

Billy's partner is Ally

[@muleb384]

Won a Grammy too

[@joedonlewis9820]

@@alimac1469 him and Molly were roommates for a while. Maybe I'm just projecting.

[@cartomjmm]

Local boy made it big! Lansing, MI's own! One of the best bluegrass guitarists I've ever heard.

[@dustygatrell-ru7tg]

Damn son! That was awesome.

[@robertcherman]

Just knowing this is not done in a studio, just a video recording with one guy and one guitar, no microphone other than the camera microphone, and it sounds this good. That's hard to do. He does have versions with a full bluegrass band, he has a version where he plays with his dad and another guy. He does a cover of Train Train that has an a 10 minute intro that is kind of wild to watch. If I am not mistaken I think he played heavier music first. He is always doing live shows on KZbin. My favorite version of this song is the Grand Ole Opry version. This version is cool too, just because it is just him and a guitar, you can't get much vulnerable than that.

[@jerrykeck1494]

My favorite modern Bluegrass band is still Carolina Chocolate Drops. Leaving Eden via live set still almost makes me cry, absolutely beautiful. 😈🤘

[@CW_9]

Check out the band Greensky Bluegrass if you enjoy the genre. Billy Strings still has a lot of great songs too.

[@mintjulius275]

Love greensky

[@kdogusna77]

The video version of Billy with his band doing this song at the Grand Ole Opry is a must watch.

[@kevinvegas1916]

Was this in the Deliverance soundtrack?

[@ChrisSlaughter-pz6zr]

@Brad & Lex - I've been waiting for you two to get a Billy video. This is like the OG, but he has better versions of this song out there. I'm a big Billy fan and here is the quick "notes." He began playing guitar at a young age, his stepfather taught him to play. He was playing with his stepdad and 4 years old. Billy has been quoted as saying that he learned to play the guitar through bluegrass, but he learned to perform in death metal bands. I've seen him live 18 times, and counting, but he also really shines on stage. Live performances are where its at and I really would love to ask you guys check out "Meet Me at the Creek" (From the Ogden Theater) - This shows you the fans, the show, the musicianship and the performer that he is...oh yeah, while you watch it, remind yourself this is what new age bluegrass is all about. Enjoy! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnPIoZKhiNCLiNk

[@skinhitter27]

Gotta do some WHISKEY MYERS - 'Broken Window Serenade'. Good one for Brad to dig into!

[@alimac1469]

The Billy rabbit hole is deep. Maybe try Turmoil and Tinfoil (with the pink glasses) next - another story of his early life.

[@chaunceygardiner178]

[@Bluenosegrows]

hard to believe he is alot better now , he was a kid in that video

[@Blaze_1961]

I said it before I'll say it again....Tommy Emmanuel - Initiation. A instrumental about a young Aboriginals journey into manhood. It will absolutely blow your mind and I guarantee you have not seen anyone play a guitar like he does in this song.

[@TomG626]

Saw him and the band tuesday night at USF

[@papacarl2002]

Great to see you both on the couch together! Watching Billy on *HIS* couch! 😂

Turmoil and Tinfoil. The ONE WHERE HE HAS THE FUNNY ROSE COLORED GLASSES ON.

[@joshuahouston97]

His story is actually very interesting. How he came up and how he learned the guitar and went from playing for his friends in a basement to selling out arena shows. It's definitely worth checking out. There are plenty of youtube videos about his story at this point.

[@blakrumba]

I am so excited for this artist. I've been waiting for a bluegrass artist to come along. He is the future of western music imo. He has a hard rock back ground actually, but he always played bluegrass with his dad, so he's refined that skill. Rumor has it his live concerts are next level. He's won a Grammy already. And you're right. The thing that is sooo impressive about Bluegrass is that it hits on the same level of Flamenco guitar. Both art forms are from peoples who have been oppressed. The Roma in Spain and Appalachian peoples, they both go hard on string instruments. It's insane to watch the level of genius in the craft. ❤

[@HHGOBLIN]

seen him in December in NOLA and last month in Mobile. For sure the best concerts I've been to!

I'm subbed to Billy's channel him and his band are virtuoso musicians. He just released a video featuring Willie Nelson Where he actually plays Willie's guitar " Trigger" should tell how much he is respected it's called California sober. You should watch his story he had a rough life left home to avoid addiction or prison he said. Phenomenal guitar player fastest bluegrass picker I've ever seen ✌💞
