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).
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.
Amazing concerts (6 in 10 days) and although the charges are outrageous for my ticket purchases - the concerts were so incredible and I will see him again and again!
The best band around! Special weekend! I ❤️ Billy Strings
Billy and the boys are the best show on the road these days. They bring an incredible blend of bluegrass, jam, and straight up rock & roll. I have seen Bill Strings quite a few times now, and each show is better than the last. Can't wait to do it again!
I’m not a bluegrass fan, but I love Billy strings and I love what he does.
Billy Stings never disapoints! Love them all! Love the venue! The worlds a better place with Billy Strings!
Three days with Billy Strings in St. Augie!! What else can I say but it was completely awesome with old and new friends
