53 yrs old. Brought up on bluegrass, this young man is amazing. The best I've heard since Flatt and Scruggs!

[chiznicken]

Billy Strings is definitely a musical missionary. I'm a third generation gigging musician, have allowed music (all music) to consume my life. I've never seen anyone resurrect a genre like this. Sure there are originators of styles, Elvis, Sabbath, Zeppelin, etc., And while they deserve the respect and appreciation they deserve, it seems what Billy is doing to bluegrass is more difficult. People have expectations, judgmental, snobby, ignorant opinions. Billy and his crew are keeping a huge part of American culture alive and have every ounce of my respect and appreciation. Thanks guys, you're truly setting a much needed bar on the level of talent all music can/should strive for.

For those who thumbed this down you know absolutely nothing about music. Billy Strings is a Prodigy and 1 of the BEST pickers living today!
God Bless Billy ❤️

I can't get over how good this kid Deadheads and Bluegrass lovers unite...Billy's kids are here!

[jessechristian]

These kids nowadays. Taking bluegrass to a new level. God bless 'em.

I may be old and I may be strange but I can still dance and I can still holler Im not at your shows 'cause I ain't got a dollar
So wherever you are what you might want to know is I thank.the Lord for this free you tube show. Yes I may be old in the hospital today your music is medicine that will get me away from these doctors and nurses and all I can say is I may be old but not in the way that makes you believe I'm here to stay. So
Let me go home where I can be strange and be back with my livestock out on the range. I'm learning your songs and I will sing them out loud to stars and the mountains and my good friends the clouds.

Just a casual bluegrass fan here, but this kid, this collection of musicians, is really something!

[cmcdonald]

If Away From The Mire doesn't give you chills you have no soul

[elmoblatch]

That smile. This kid has charisma. The ol' youtube algorithm has deranged society with conspiracy madness, but it also gave me Billy Strings.

[GPJACKSOGA]

I've been listening to bluegrass for sixty years and I just love this guy.

[jims]

I just found out about him a few months ago. Some people frown that he is not pure Bluegrass. He introduced this genre to younger people that would never be interested in Bluegrass. A regular Bluegrass band would not draw these big crowds. Music is supposed to be fun to play and listen too. Critics need to get over it.

[redleader]

For those of you just now finding Billy, I can tell you there is nothing like him. He is super hyper talented. He plays so many kinds of music. A blend of all the greats from the last 40 yrs. Its unreal and he loves loves loves to just go into a crazy space jam for days....it is so great and new. He is not shy about his love for the electronic pedals and gizmos. It gives his creativity such a hug palette. This dude channels, Garcia, Hendix, Page, Frampton, Clapton, it is so damn fine.

[TaylorKing]

I’m recently obsessed w this guy. Been watching every video I can find on him in the past week or so

[gayspark]

Upon discovering Billy I have since, built a bonfire, burned my guitars and and sat there and cried like a baby lol. He is a phenom! A legend in the making.

[leokregul]

Well my bad day yesterday was one of my worst today. Till I picked up my guitar and watched Mr. Strings play I tried to play along found myself forgetting my tragic day an wishing I was right there playing my heart out an my only worry would be if God was going to wake me in the morning so I could do this all over again, thanks Billy.

[davidrosen]

one of the most amazing and endearing things about Billy Strings is his complete selflessness, like no ego on stage, he's a true team player, gives away focus which makes him look so brilliant

[damiandavis]

dressed like a hippie
headbanging like a rockstar
guitaring like GOD🤘

[chanceburger]

I came across this kid about 4 years ago, I'm 61 years old now an I have been following an listening to a lot of the same bands since I was 14.I don't know how much more time I got on this earth but I wish Billy an his band were here 40 years ago.This kid is just getting started an has so much more to offer all of us.

[philhardwick]

I was at this show. No one sat down and there was no opener. The crowd was in such a great mood. Between Billy and that venue it was my most memorable of anything I’ve ever seen. It was his first time opening there.
