Sierra Ferrell // Billy Strings // Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down / UTBS / Whitefish, MT / 7.14.24

[@multicaruana]

Just amazing what kind of talent some people have!

[@nrs7846]

I love how Billy is watching her and letting her set this up. He's playing with her and for her, not over her.

[@mattcampbellmusicco.8532]

It appears to me as though he was LEARNING the song as it was going down. Hence his hesitation to really kick it off. One pass of the chord progression, and then when the rest of the band kicked, he knew it was time to go.

[@Jean9llo]

I think both of you are right, Billy sure was learning it on the go but another thing is Sierra’s arrangements has a tone of dynamics, a lot of ups and downs, so is easy to overplay it if you don’t hold back and wait like he did. He played it cool, Billy knows he’s business

[@micha0634]

Yes, exactly. It's simply a pleasure watching and listening these people playing their music together!

[@davidhale9672]

Billy is really courteous as a guest and generous when he hosts.

[@berrey7]

The History books will remember Johnny Cash & June Carter, Kenny & Dolly, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn, and Billy Strings & Sierra Ferrell.

[@jordancohen1914]

I’d put Willie Nelson on that list as well

[@apetass123]

I'll put that fucking dancing head on the list. A different list.

[@guacamole8964]

...and George and Tammy

[@Francisalbino39]

Probably just Billy, tbh

[@Steve-li1ru]

@@Francisalbino39 not when Sierra is writing and playing all her own shit. Name another female artist right now that capable that doesn't hire a staff full of writers?

[@sgenetti77]

I can't think of a current female country singer with a more unique, haunting and interesting sounding voice than Sierra's, nor a better all around musician (player/singer/songwriter) alive right now than BMFS. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@jimrebr]

Molly Tuttle is fantastic too. I love how she referenced Seattle and Pike Place Market, up here in Gods Country. Sierra is good, Billy is complimentary to Sierra, what a shoe, just a couple more weeks till we see Billy Strings!!

[@sgenetti77]

@@jimrebr Lucky you! I am going to try to catch Billy in Indy this Summer tour, if I can get away from work, if I can raise the ducats, etc. I hope so. I'm jonesing! I haven't been to one since Cincinnati in 2023 "Nutshell" show!

[@LindaBourell]

yeah...what he said! I just saw Sierra in Del Mar. She and Billy are amazing!

[@_Sheebs_]

These two just go together like white on rice. Two of the best to ever do it. Thanks for the video!

[@jackiekirkpatrick6186]

This is my favorite Sierra song which she hardly ever performs anymore. THANK YOU to whoever posted this video. I am in HEAVEN.

[@guacamole8964]

That pair, right there, is cowboy-country-bluegrass royalty!

[@cindyhavey1497]

just another wonderful performance by Sierra. this amazing lady never disappoints🥰

[@Wagnum]

I was there and blown away with Sierra. Saw her last year at the Gorge it was good enough that I started following her but this day was otherworldly! I fell in love for sure. If you look at the speaker stack lower left side of the stage till see my hat bobbing around in front of it. It was an awesome weekend of music!!!🎉

[@strangecobra9454]

full body chills immediately. i love when she sings this one, and with billy accompanying it's sublime!

[@saragayfield9454]

I have listened about 20times already 😅

[@alan4sure]

Once is enough for me. Even Billy can't salvage it.

[@toom8rs15]

Born in Montana At the age of ten and against my will I was taken to the east coast 😢😢😢😢😢 To see three of my favorites (Sierra,Billy and that Montana backdrop) makes for a beautiful moment ❤❤ Thanks for sharing

[@saragayfield9454]

I dream of montana. ❤

[@saragayfield9454]

❤❤❤ my hubby shared this with me. He's like you never watch the videos I send you. This one I did like immediately 😂 he knows how much I love sierra and billy ❤️ thank you for sharing

[@heinz812]

Sierra and Billy together! It doesn’t get better than that!

[@sidforbrains6552]

the power in that voice is undeniable...and Billy...whole-e-cow, Billy

[@wilbertwallace6655]

My favourite two artists, my favourite song.

[@TheChoice2121]

This made me cry

[@tkesselrn]

Oliver on fiddle …another amazing job/musician!!💕

[@clutchbeyers]

Countrygrass is here folks. Billy, Sierra, Zach, Turnpike, Crockett. Thank God

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

Way more names to add to that list.... Music is in good hands for sure......

[@jimrebr]

@@clutchbeyers What about Molly Tuttle. I’ve tried listening to Sierra, and she’s good, she may still make a believer out of me, BMFS though, he’s the best new musician taking the world by storm and playing lots of Jerry Garcia, he’s got the licks and the voice for the Dead.💀

[@clutchbeyers]

@@CorneiliusLibowitz lots more, I could go on and on. Kaitin Butts, Emily Nenni, Mountain Grass Unit, Nicki Lane. So awesome

[@clutchbeyers]

@@jimrebr I enjoy Molly a lot. From a live experience, Sierra brought the biggest goosebumps to my arms I have ever had. Once that happened, all the songs take on a different feel. You need to see her live. BMFS is my absolute favorite right now. He is taking the Phish blueprint and taking bluegrass with it. He is the next king.

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

@@clutchbeyers Larkin Poe, Sierra Hull, Samantha Fish, Martha Spencer, Daniel Donato & CC, MT & GH, Pokey LaFarge, Hillary Klug, Sarah Jarosz, Jamie Wyatt.....too many to list...not to mention each member of these bands are kick ass in their own right... Keep an eye on Bronwyn Keith-Hynes of Golden Highway... And then the little older crowd like Nickel Creek/Punch Bros, Melissa Carper, Brennen Leigh, Allison Krause, Rhiannon Giddens/CCD, Bela Fleck...et al... I laugh at these maroons commenting and thinking all the great music/bands/musicians ended after the 70's.... Talk about keeping the blinders on and not thinking outside the box...LOL!

[@bealestreator8940]

Thanks, Loma Deren, for keeping me up-to-date with Sierra Ferrell's doin's 🙂 If the Under The Big Sky Festival techies built a ledge against the facade of the stage, about 2 feet (the height of the monitors) lower than the stage, then those ten or more God-forsaken monitors could be placed out of the audience's sightlines, on the ledge, re-locate the talent closer to the audience, keeping the distance from the monitors to the performers' ears the same, just directing the monitors' sound from the new lower angle. IF, I say, IF monitor-obviating in-ear monitors are unworkable in this situation.

[@fretfix1]

I am gonna take the Doobie Bros. advice and 'Listen To The Music....'

[@slak96u]

She is incredible.... she is. Even up against an amazing guitar. What an absolute show.

[@lynyrdcohynyrd8541]

I was thinking the other day that we are living in the worst timeline, but now that I've witnessed Sierra Ferrell performing with Billy Strings I'm a little more optimistic.

[@angeloforesio2809]

Now that's great music!!!! Thats soul right there!!!

[@fretfix1]

Jeff Saunders is my boy!! Great vid. Thanks!!

[@HJ-jy7fw]

So nice.

[@BoiseG]

My 2 favorites together! That was awesome. .... and what was the point of that stupid head/face thing on a stick? If it was meant to block people's view, it was working wonderfully!

[@chrismurray790]

Send Rip! (From Yellowstone series)

[@guacamole8964]

Hot Dayum!

[@123Shel12]

Billy Strings is a "class act" and possibly one of the best bluegrass guitar players of all time. That being said, Strings could have stolen the show with some of the guitar fireworks he's famous for. Yet he's content playing a supporting role without being a show off. He has my admiration and respect. 🎸

[@metalmatt20]

wow!

[@pwpsmeade]

That is one hell of a rhythm guitar player!

[@4rounder312]

timeless, past present future

[@jerrylives2278]

Interesting arrangement

[@NoLucha]

god damn

[@slak96u]

From What I understand.... Billy is nearly impossible to deal with. Just glad it exsits.

[@ErnestoHerrera-h4z]

I love this lady in fact I was just in Houston yesterday visiting my mom and was really trying to go see her at White Oaks lawn. I am visually impaired and couldn’t find anybody to go with me so I didn’t now I am back in Austin and she’s playing here at Stubbs, and son of a bitch it’s about four times as much to see her here than there, what a damn shame I could’ve went to this one just can’t afford it 1:44

[@pray4peace2day]

Hoo wee that's some mighty fine pickin and singin!

[@RRamsey-ry3jy]

Even Rip was having a good time!

[@annunacky4463]

Like peas and carrots. They go together very well.

[@MHB48615]

His aunt didn’t call him Billy Strings for nothin’. The boy can play and the girl can sing. SO GOOD!!

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

Check out him and Josh doing the Michigan Basement Jams...pretty great....

[@elmoblatch9787]

I've heard that Sierra hits the partying very hard. I hope it does not get TOO hard.

[@rickylequesne3745]

What a shame this track isn't on her new album.

[@janetwalsh9982]

Boy, there’s a lot of choppers in the crowd

[@TomWalters-h4n]

Not all chompers are Chads but all Chads are chompers. Don't be that guy..

[@bobmaynard3589]

Why in the heck is Rip blocking view of Sierra?! Lol

[@bobmaynard3589]

Thank you for posting this! Amazing

[@lilliewinter3140]

I would just love to see these two together along with marcus king and hanging out with theo von lol❤

[@wagsk1]

they need to have a baby

[@slak96u]

The 2 step, with the band..... I mean come on

[@ChazStokes]

Its called deal off Bob weirs album deal plz educate yourself and others and change your title.

[@darkrabbitfilms]

maybe take your own advice my friend sandiegotroubadour.com/anatomy-of-a-folk-song-dont-let-your-deal-go-down/?amp=1

[@wrp3621]

This song was written way before Bob Weir was even born and his title is correct. Maybe get off your high horse.

[@wagsk1]

LOL, Billy what ever happened to that little boy haircut?

[@joncorrellattorney]

Noisy disrespectful crowd

[@teresabarnett6767]

June carter was nothing but a home wrecker.......just saying

[@alan4sure]

The major key original is much better than this one. Minor chords don't improve it.

[@yveshuot4286]

Wish I'd have been there.

[@emaillulucny]

BMFS!
