Michigan-born and now Nashville-based, Billy Strings is a GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician and one of music’s most compelling artists. He is in the midst of a triumphant year following the release of his acclaimed new album, Renewal, which further solidifies his position as a singular artist–one who honors the music that inspires him, while continually pushing it forward. The New York Times praises Strings saying, “a premier bluegrass mind…he has zigged and zagged between the form’s antediluvian traditions and rapid-fire improvisations that hit like hard bop, all within songs with hooks so sharp that he seems poised for crossover stardom.” In addition to his GRAMMY Award, Strings earned Pollstar’s “Breakthrough Artist of the Pandemic” in 2021 and “Best New Headliner Award” in 2022 and has multiple honors from the International Bluegrass Music Association. Known for his electric concerts, Strings has performed on the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Austin City Limits, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and is currently in the midst of an extensive sold-out headline tour with upcoming shows at New York’s The Rooftop at Pier 17, Louisville Iroquois Amphitheater (three nights), Chicago’s Metro, Indianapolis’ TCU Amphitheatre at White River State Park (three nights) and Portland’s McMenamins Edgefield Amphitheatre (two nights) among many others. He will also perform at several major festivals this year including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits.
