@@mindysmith2087 He may be selling out shows in real life concerts in the US. But in terms of media or internet presence he is basically underground.

[@mindysmith2087]

@@sashka9399 He really just got going a few years ago and has already played at The Grammys and with a ton of other famous musicians. To me, it seems like he is rising very quickly. He's great though. My husband just showed me a picture of Billy with a friend of ours before a show. I feel so lucky to get to witness him in all his glory. Music is kinda our life though.

This is good to hear guys. No one I talk to had ever heard of him. Nor do the listen to that type of music. It's quite different in the UK sadly

[@sashka9399]

Had no idea this is what he does. Went in blind….not knowing a thing about him or his music and was so powerfully moved. Ecstatic with what I experienced. The lyrics, the stellar transcendent playing by all members, Billy’s vocals, the totally mind melting light show and the ultra heady, super kind and earthy tour scene. Felt like a new spring, a new season of renewal of everything into cherished and had missed about the best aspects of Grateful Dead tour. And then it dawned on me…..he’s just getting going. His best is still ahead for decades to come. He’s legendary now, imagine when he’s an elder…3O or 40 years deep as a touring artist. I have no doubt he will be inscribed upon the Book of the Worlds Greatest Masters of Music. We are in for a serious treat people. What a blessing

@@oleslewfoot91 True but a bluegrass Grammy doesn't exactly get you massive publicity and recognition.

Fortunately we now live in a world where If you are talented enough you dont need awards and radio play etc. to get a huge following but the problem in my mind is that there just aren't a ton of people anymore who appreciate or pay attention to bluegrass. And don't get me wrong I'm not arguing with you, you are correct I'm sure he's doing just fine I just see a guy who is incredibly talented and if I asked 100 people around me any givin time if they know who he is I bet I don't get 10 that do but if I asked those same 100 people if they know who insert crappy dipshit rapper with only enough talent to ryhme some words together, wich I know also takes talent but nothing on the level of artistry that Billy displays and I bet over half or 3/4 know who they are even if they don't like rap.
