Billy Strings: Seven Weeks in County | The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

[@Yeradumis420]

Billy really kept it between the lines on that one. As solid a performance as that was, it’s hard to believe it didn’t even come close to showcasing just how talented of musicians these guys really are. Patiently awaiting Memphis.

[@shawncasady4920]

Yo agreed fucking weird hearing them like that but we love them

[@groovelife415]

They served the song. That's what talented musicians do. They don't jerk off all over every single song.

[@MotoStoriesandmore]

Time constraints, but yeah, giving the boys all a chance at a break would have shown folks how sick they all are. ❤

[@mooremiket]

I figured there would be a solo somewhere on the show. But that’s Billy - gotta keep em guessing

[@Smallie888]

I was hoping for a 20 minute tinfoil

[@thefabulousthomasj]

Just heard him for the first time tonight on Jimmy Fallon; magnificent!!! Ordering this CD and vinyl LP right now.

[@smokinbuzz1594]

Brother; you just made a life changing decision.

[@GWHinCA]

I'm sure you already have, but just in case you haven't, do a KZbin search for Billy Strings. You will find tons of very recent live concert videos that will blow you away. Not only does he do a lot of his own songs but he also covers Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, & The Greatful Dead among others. You are going to enjoy the next few weeks immensely sir.

[@TheManOnTheRail]

He is all you will listen to now.

[@scr7158]

You have just scratched the surface. Go see him live. Listen to Renewal. Check out Dust In A Baggie from the Opry and be blown away by his chops

[@TheManOnTheRail]

"Away From The Mire" is a song that should be counted in the top five of all time - along with Stairway, Free Bird, Hotel California, Bohemian Rhapsody, it IS that good. The version on Billy Strings | Live Vol. 1 is a great place to start!

[@phillipstouder1290]

He just had a baby too. This man deserves all the attention he gets. Came from a very dark background and overcame those obstacles to become one of the best musicians around. Been to 5 of his shows and they're an incredible life altering experience every time. Im not exaggerating either. My next show will be in Tulsa in less than 2 weeks. EVERYONE GET TO ONE OF HIS SHOWS🎉

[@rubystarr7036]

Uh, his wife had a baby. Billy barely made it to the delivery.

Yeah when I explain Billy's music to someone who's never heard them before I tell them Billy's band is like the Pink Floyd of bluegrass lol. These guys are a once in a generation level of talent for sure.

Saw Billy at Wheatland Music Festival 2012 I believe. He was jamming in the camps, and saw his set the next morning in the small tent. I KNEW he was going to be a big household name after watching him play. Now here he is on Jimmy Fallon. Grammy nominated and all. He is the headliner.

[@hivmoz-toswuZ-gyhfa0]

In my educated opinion, Billy is one of the top 10. All around. All of the band are great artist of their own right, they make the band Billy Strings possible. I hope they get their kudos.

[@thepragmaticfarmer6308]

This is a really reserved performance. This is Billy at level 3 out of 10. Cable television format cant accomodate what he and his band is capable of at level 10.

[@crocodilegrundee4514]

I think it’s an incredible performance from a tight and perfectly technical standpoint. There is a lot of intricacies that are performed flawlessly from all 5. I have never seen him live in person, but there is a whole lot of live performances on KZbin, and this is one of the most perfect and in sync. Pretty much all of them are though.

[@nicoleedwards4310]

@@crocodilegrundee4514 please, please see him live. Incredible! 🙌

Billy and band are absolute gunslingers but they really held back on this one. It was solid enough and probably a good choice for a mass audience, but they are more than capable of pickin the hell out of those instruments. There is no hotter band on the road today, anywhere.

I first saw these guys at a festival in 2017. The very first act on the ‘set up camp’ Thursday evening before the big weekend. We all laughed at their/his name. Everyone was absolutely blown away by their set however and have been onboard ever since. A band for all the kids that like people that can actually play their instruments and wear normal clothes on stage.
