Billy Strings - Blue Grass on Steroids!

[NCHillbilly]

I asked my son & he'd read about that. I looked it up. That's something!
Did you know the man who raised him isn't his biological father?
His biological father died from an overdose when Billy was about 2.

He also gave his daddy the 1st of 33 handmade Preston Thompson "Billy Strings" signature guitars he had made.

Billy had it rough growing up. It's a wonder he made it out of that meth hole.

Yeah, with all of his success, he still seems humble.
He hasn't forgotten his childhood struggles.

This comment on one of his YT videos was hilarious:

Billy Failing, his banjo player, is also a phenomenal musician.

I like that Billy pays homage to the greats, Doc Watson in particular.

And he paid tribute to Dickey Betts & Ben Eldridge in Florida this weekend.
