Preach brother

[@victorconsquada992]

He doesn’t have the $$$ yet. Super bowl is a pay to play event. Artists don’t get paid for it, they pay to play for the exposure. Their downloads and streams go through the roof after playing. Record companies try to outbid each other every year for their artists to have a chance to play.

Billy Strings is the " man who saved music" as far as I'm concerned! You don't see his generation having his musical knowledge & the talent he & his band display! BSB is my new favorite band which puts him/ them in the company of The Allman Brothers & the Grateful Dead ,... He deserves to be in the room with them & I know they ( Jerry Garcia, Gregg & Duane Allman would of loved to jam with Billy!! Keep up the awesome job y'all do BS band!!!!!

No you don't and yes it's just like watching them I can still hear fire on the mountain enjoy these boys are on fire

[@thegeorgiacreekwalker491]

I seen the Allman Brother's perform at the Georgia Jam about 22 years ago along with The Doobie Brother's and Skynyrd, it was a Great Show, my Brother and I seen Greg Allman using a payphone and went up to talk to him, we asked the obvious question" You're Greg Allman Right? I had just seen him in the movie Rush and I had no doubt it was him, he didn't respond but the 7 foot tall man standing next to him who was obviously his body guard responded for him and said that's not Greg Allman fellas, we could tell he didn't want to be bothered and we didn't want to bother him so we just walked away but it would have been nice to get a autograph maybe I'll try again if I see him up in Heaven, FLY HIGH FREEBIRD🙏

[@lenstrand3661]

I met and got to be friends with Billy for a short while in Northern Michigan about 12 years ago. He is special for sure. You have to remember that when he plays sessions with Santana, Weirs, Marcus King, everyone else; Billy is unplugged while most everyone else to compare him to these days are electrified. I've seen King and Billy both on acoustics and Billy with Rob Emanuell on an acoustic and they kick ass same level. Not many else can for sure. Love the outstanding music, support the outstanding musicians!!!❤🎉

[@jimrebr]

Running on Empty is a big part of the soundtrack of my life, thanks Billy and crew, so good, I love Billy Strings. A week ago today, we got to see Billy Strings at the Outlaw Festival at the Gorge!! Just beautiful, I hope to see Billy lots more!!!!!! ❤️✨🔥❤️👏🌟❤️ Hell yes, Midnight Rider is one of my favorites too, it is exquisite.

How this song "Running On Empty" brings to Me some wonderful memories of my Teenage Years and the Great 70's Bands on Burt Sugarman's "Midnight Hour". Very Happy facing "60" for I had "my' Dream, and I did it ! Rock n Roll back then had just a healing, up-lifting Aura to it ( that I don't see/feel in Today's Music).. It's just a "Ball N Chain" that only the" Pearl" could do at Monterey. and She really put her heart in Soul into that song.
