About
Raised in Michigan and now based in Nashville, GRAMMY Award-winning Billy Strings is known as one of music's most compelling artists. Most recently, he unveiled "California Sober," a collaboration with legendary artist Willie Nelson--his first release since partnering with venerable label, Reprise Records.
The collaboration follows Strings' most recent full-length album, Me/And/Dad, which was released last fall and features Strings alongside with his dad, Terry Barber. The product of a longtime dream, the record features new versions of fourteen bluegrass and country classics that the two have been playing together since Strings was a young child.
Since his 2017 debut, Strings has been awarded Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards, Artist of the Year at the 2022 and 2023 Americana Music Awards, Entertainer of the Year at the 2021, 2022 and 2023 International Bluegrass Music Awards, Best New Headliner at the 2022 Pollstar Awards, Breakthrough Artist of the Pandemic at the 2021 Pollstar Awards and has performed on the 64th GRAMMY Awards, "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," PBS' "Austin City Limits," "Bluegrass Underground" as well as countless sold-out tour dates world-wide.
Billy Strings is nominated for three awards at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards: Best Bluegrass Album (Me/And/Dad), Best American Roots Song ("California Sober" feat. Willie Nelson) and Best Country Duo/Group Performance ("High Note" with Dierks Bentley).

by Francis Albino on 11/9/21Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom - ChicagoBilly Strings is the best kept secret in music but not for long!! See him in the small venues while you can. He’s got the hottest band on the road right now.

by Tats420 on 11/9/21Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom - ChicagoThe music was great! The sound was horrible and the venue was way over crowded. Too bad, such a great place with terrible sound.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Awesome show, improving venue!
by Gr8fulUMPHish on 11/9/21Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom - ChicagoWhat once was my least favorite venue in the Midwest, made a big step in redeeming itself! Even with the vax/negative test requirement the lines moved quickly. The security was a little strict on certain items but thankfully I remembered that before and made accommodations prior. Beer lines were plentiful and quick and the bathroom was better than I remember. Billy Strings A+, Aragon Ballroom A-!

by photobymarisa on 11/8/21Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville - AshevilleWOW!!! What an amazing performance! We were lucky enough to get to see shows on Friday and Halloween night… we will never miss him coming through our area again! Venue was perfect for these shows, loved general admission with the choice of being on the floor or in a seat. Merchandise and food/drink lines were longer than expected… shouldn’t have to miss so much of the show to get a beer or a snack.

by Robby on 11/7/21We saw Billy and his band at the Aragon theater in Chicago last night. Even though we were packed in like sardines it was worth every second. That kid knows how to pick. His band is fantastic too. Awesome!!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great show!
by BH on 11/6/21Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville - AshevilleAmazingly quick entry and exit from the HCC at a sold out show. Lines moved quickly despite COVID vax checks and security checks. Went all three nights and same experience each night. Also lines moved fairly quickly for vendors and even bathrooms. And when shows were over we were outside the building in only a few minutes. Only downside to the HCC is downtown Asheville parking. So HCC gets 5 stars, but plan ahead for parking as that can make for a bad night

Rating: 5 out of 5 Absolutely the BEST!!!!
by AnnieGirl71 on 11/3/21Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville - AshevilleWords cannot describe how awesome this concert was. We’ve been to a lot of shows & this little venue, nestled in the NC mountains, really brings their A+ game. Billie Strings did not disappoint and blew the roof off the place. Overall- it was a fantastic Halloween 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great music and lights
by Trip on 11/3/21Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville - AshevilleGreat music and lights. This was a first rate production the whole way around. I see why Billy strings can sell out the Civic Center for three nights in a row.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Overall Production was Next Level
by DocNic on 11/3/21Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville - Asheville8n all my concert going years, ive never seen someone do so much with so little. From the Production and lighting to the set list following The Wizard of Oz storyline.. this was perfection. I saw Roger Waters perform The Wall at Fenway Park. The gents of Billy Strings blew that show out of the water and didnt even need a Helicopter.

by Catharine on 11/3/21Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville - AshevilleThe lines for service was ridiculous long. Absolutely no efficiency. Buying the tickets where easy and painless.

by Lavric on 11/3/21Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville - AshevilleWould really enjoy paper ticket stubs. I collect them and this is disappointing
Rating: 4 out of 5 Best show ever but general admission sucks
by María on 11/3/21Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville - AshevilleAwesome show, phenomenal musically and energy. I hated that the seating was general admission. People were hoarding seats “for their friends” and no one was actually sitting in them. If you couldn’t get there plenty early there was nowhere to sit. I would have gladly paid extra for assigned seats and let the youngsters stand on the main floor.

Rating: 5 out of 5 AMAZING!
by Anne B on 11/3/21Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville - AshevilleThis was my first Billy Strings show and it won’t be my last! He is an amazing talent that I haven’t seen in a long time. He is so entertaining and the fans were the best! People came from all over the country to enjoy this awesome music and everyone was nice! And seeing him in an awesome city like Asheville was a BONUS! Can’t wait for Dallas in December!
