Rick Beato brought me here! Thanks, Rick! Billy is just mind-blowing - face-melting picking, contemplative songs, and soulful voice - completely re-arranged my musical landscape. We need more of Billy in this time and age.

I was today years old when I discovered and went down the Billy Strings rabbit hole. Now I must say I’m a baptized convert and I’m preaching his good word to all my friends and kinfolk.

August 2, 2014 I hired a duo that I had chased down for a while to play at our wedding. I went to all lengths to get him. It was our boy Billy. When I see things like this, I can't help but cheer him on from the depth of my being and beam with pride at this boy who could've gone either way. I'm so extremely happy and proud that the world has recognized him.

Fans that attend this event have not clue that they are listening to actual humans who have mastered their craft of playing these stringed instruments. This is real music in its rawest form. All those sounds, chords, accent notes, harmonies, precussion is coming from stringed instruments. Brilliant. My ears are in heaven.

[PhoggHawk]

I believe this is one of those rare artists that figured out how to redefine a genre and build bridges to unlikely audiences. Billy Strings is a Guitar Pickin' Unicorn! 🎸🦄

[Ajhernandez]

Went to go see Metallica at Lolla so I made sure to go find a spot early. I'm so glad I did because that's how I discovered my love for Billy's music and it opened up a whole new genre for me.

I'll never forget being a strung out loser and a friend of mine that I hadn't talked to in years due to the drugs, he sent me the dust in a baggie video and it was amazing to me. Made me pick my guitar back up and I started paying attention to him. Seemed like that was his jumping off point. Ive been clean for quite sometime now but the only good I ever got while being a Junkie was finding Billy Strings. Hes the only thing I found in that life that I kept when I quit. He just touches my soul. I'm really bad at explaining this but dammit I am trying my best.

[peternorthe]

All of the country/bluegrass greats (Johnny, Glen, Roy, Merle, etc..) are looking down from heaven when this young lad plays and ar saying "finally! someone to carry the torch!"

[coldmanblues]

I'm a 40 year old rock and roll fan and musician and I have never in my entire life and all of the music that I have listened to over that time have I ever ever ever ever ever heard anyone like Billy Strings

Dust in a baggie brought me here 6 years ago. In the back of an NA room before a meeting. After lots of mushrooms and therapy im happy to report that im happy and healthy 6 years clean. Thank you so much billy for playing a key role in that.

[bryantcochran]

I've loved bluegrass for 60 or so years now, Billy is the new preacher of bluegrass, his hero was one of the true greats and Billy does justice to the music. I'm extremely happy bluegrass has a new champion.

[apedreus]

I am an ardent and militant atheist, but this really is just the hand of god. Incredible.

[RealRobbytxn]

Billy’s solo in away from the mire is easily one of the best I’ve ever heard

[henrikandreason]

Away from the mire is not just a song; but a spiritual journey

[erickjason]

Reminds me of the 60's when music was happy and good. And the vibe was positive.

[benjaminhawthorne]

It is so refreshing to hear folks who actually PLAY music for a change! ☺

[timothygary]

That 2nd song - oh my goodness, like warm rain on a cool spring day. So incredible.
