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).

Billy and his band are talented, energetic musicians, non stop entertainment!
I don't know where to begin - Billy is one of the most amazing guitarists playing today. His musical arrangements begin firmly rooted in bluegrass and then move through so many different musical styles it's difficult to even define. It is simply amazing to see and hear. If you love music and musical talent you owe it to yourself to find a way to see this young man.
BMFS is the bomb! Asheville is a great town. The venue tho is very poorly designed with respect to flow and entryways/exits. The worst thing is that they oversold tickets for this event, not cool in a pandemic. Concession stands were at times great, other times had ridiculously long lines.
I have never seen a performer pour his soul out on a stage like Billy- every single time. He and his band are magic. No one out there better right now in my opinion.
Really missed the original Billy Strings. This was simply a loud and long jam session…
Way too loud. One song sounded like the band members were tuning their guitars. And mixing blue grass music with punk rock. I’ve heard Billy on YouTube. It was good. Oh well.
Great Venue, great show, great people. Wish tickets were available first hand and instead of purchased by bots and sold for double the price.
A larger percentage of the crowd did not wear masks. It would have been nice if there was an announcement to remind attendees to wear masks!
Saw Billy Strings for the first time. Amazing show. Energy level was insane. Great to be back in live venues.
First off, the music was tremendous. The whole ensemble was tight and in the zone beginning to end. The light show was fun but they oftentimes blinded the audience’s view of the playing. Spots from out shining in towards the musicians would help. The flashing lights from behind were good to a point but were overwhelming and needed better balance. Obviously, they distracted from an amazing musical show
I have seen many many concerts in my life. I had heard Billy Strings was great but I had no idea how great! I have not seen anyone play guitar like that in a long time. What supreme talent. Amazing light show. The crowd was on fire. The Fox Theater in Oakland never disappoints. Great acoustics and friendly staff.
Billy Strings band is an amazing group of mucisians that have taken progressive blue grass to a whole new level. Could not have been better and will see them every chance that I get.
Not your usual string band Very innovative, progressive entertaining and creative. I'm a fan will see them whenever I can
What a great place to see Billy Strings for the first time. Great venue! Billy was amazing such a great show..
I’m old and have seen many shows but this 2 night Billy Strings event was beyond my expectations and left me in awe. The Fox and all the staff were excellent. One of the best overall music events of my life. Real talk! Thank y’all!
Billy is a legend. His guitar playing and singing are absolutely mesmerizing. The Belasco is a classic theater with superb sound and view from the balcony. I enjoyed the night immensely! Thanks ❤️❤️
No way Billy can play every person’s personal favorite, but leading off with Lonesome LA Cowboy let us all know he had put some thought into what to dish up for us, and then he served up two heaping sets of amazing music with a great mix of old, new, and unexpected. I’m so happy to know I’m in for another taste before the tour is done. Billy is amazing, the band is tight, and the crowd was happy!
I had the best time seeing Billy Strings! This was the ultimate show for me! As soon as it was over I bought tickets for the next show!!
though crowded it was organized and i had the best time _ the talent on stage was impeccable and dynamic
