ABOUT BILLY STRINGS
Raised in Michigan and now based in Nashville, Billy Strings is known as one of music’s most compelling artists. Acclaimed for his boundary-pushing musicianship and dynamic live performances, Strings’ latest studio album, Highway Prayers—produced with Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Mac Miller, Aimee Mann)—debuted at #1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales chart, becoming the first bluegrass record in 22 years to achieve the feat. The album earned Strings his third Grammy—and second consecutive in the category—for Best Bluegrass Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards and continues to receive widespread acclaim, with GQ calling him, “the hottest roots-music phenomenon in decades” and Pitchfork praising him as “the bluegrass wunderkind [who] expands his palette, exploring new textures and emotional registers while staying true to his beloved genre.”
Following Highway Prayers, Strings released an exclusive Apple Music Nashville Sessions EP as well as Live at the Legion, a surprise collaborative album with renowned guitarist Bryan Sutton containing 20 traditional bluegrass and folk songs recorded live at Nashville’s American Legion Post 82. Since his 2017 debut, Strings has earned widespread recognition, including two back-to-back Artist of the Year at the Americana Music Awards, four-time Entertainer of the Year at the International Bluegrass Music Awards, Best New Headliner at the 2022 Pollstar Awards and Breakthrough Artist of the Pandemic at the 2021 Pollstar Awards. Known for his electric live shows, Strings has performed countless sold-out dates worldwide and will continue to tour through this summer.
