Saw Billys first night playing open mic night, my cousin was the host at the Hayloft in Traverse City and he blew me away. Watched him busking on the streets, play the basement at our local bookstore and every chance I got, probably at least a couple dozen times!! So happy to see his success! Great video.

Never heard Billy talk about being neglected by his parents. He's constantly praising his mom and is always talking about how his Dad (Terry) has been his hero his entire life.

Definitely one of the best players and song writers in our generation. I was also born in 92. His music brought me out of a huge depression. Can't wait to finally see him this coming February. Hope to meet him as well.
