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).

These guys are great. Highly recommend catching a show.
Night 1 & 2, both ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. Thank you Billy & the boys!!!
Outstanding show! Billy Strings’ hands are magical.
This guy is “The Best” out there right now! Nobody even comes close to the musicianship, energy (him and the crowd), positivity, and general great feeling before during and after the shows. If I didn’t have the responsibilities I currently do, I would 100% be on tour right now. Without a doubt.
The show was fantastic! Compliments for the wonderful staff and the attendees. I will say though, the drink prices were super expensive. They were higher than most venues. The place could also use maybe a few signs that indicate where all the differing wristbands are and clarify things. I have never been to a show that had a pit and then seats in the back where you couldn't see anything on the floor. Just mske the floor a pit ONLY. One less wristband situation.
Mindbending music from bluegrass-style instruments. You'd have to look far and wide to find anyone who would not enjoy this music.
This 3 day show was Billy at his best. My favorite venue to see him.
The St Augustine Amphitheater is a wonderful venue. Great crowd and nice vibes. Banana Locos has delicious chocolate dipped cheesecake and key lime pie. The I Love Pierogis food truck has the best truffle pierogis. The 3 shows were so much fun. There isn’t a bad seat in the house.
Great show. BMFS showed out in St. Augustine 4/21.
