He even signed my shirt for me and shook my hand. He seemed like a very humble and generally all around cool dude! Would see him again!!

So much fun! The show sold out in record time and this was the grand re opening of the Tivoli in downtown Chattanooga. The streets were closed and a block party was born!
They had beer tables all down the sides and port a potty’s as well. Shakedown was set up behind the venue on the sidewalks where I found my favorite grilled cheese pesto sandwich guy!!
If you are in the area- you should definitely go tonight!!
Who else was there?

I was fishing with my grandson and got snagged. I worked and worked on it and finally broke it loose. I dragged something to shore and it turned out to be a muddy old hat. When we washed it off we found out that it was buried treasure - a Maarten Donders Snail Rider hat!

These bad bois are comfy as can be. Great surprise for after work

Talk about Trane songs

That was so awesome last night! Seamless transition between Alice and John Coltrane's made famous My Favorite Things. Sounded exquisite.

About that song ...

Hello my friends! What an epic show! Such amazing jams and we got a classic FTP! Here’s my pastel art from tonight! I was really feeling that red and pink light they had going on! The building is so cool I could spend hours trying to make that roof look like the real thing. So jealous of everyone who was there! See ya next time! Day 65 (California) sober! Woo to all my fellow goats who are California sober!!

Andy, his sound guy, is asking about international insurance 👀 where y'all think they're going next.

just putting this out into the universe. homie has a kid now, so it would make sense. what if thats what he was recording with Dawg? Not For Kids Only vol 2???

edit: my fellow children in christ, im only asking for one album, not an entire career pivot. please calm down.

Personally I’d love to see them cover Trampled By Turtles, specifically Wait So Long would go so hard

Yo! So my wife and I are coming down to the Orion for our mini-honeymoon this weekend and we have decided to gift a pair of these shoes to someone on lot! Shoes are a 7.5 Women's - 6 Men's. Probably going to be to a female unless you have super tiny man feet lol

Only requirement is that you can actually wear these shoes. Not trying to gift these to a reseller or some custy bs like that.

Anyway, hit us up!

Backing Ms. Rebecca Frazier at the greatest little bluegrass festival you probably never heard of.

And what a backing band that was.

Hello all! I will be attending Huntsville for the first time this weekend, and was curious about the parking situation. I’m hoping to be at early merch to get my posters and everything taken care of Friday… but wondering is the lot next to the venue going to be where shakedown is? I’ve read that parking there is free so it would be ideal to park there, but just trying to find an alternative if the lot is going to be filled up pretty early with vendors and such and may be unavailable to park. Any tips or recommendations are welcome please! Can’t wait to party with you all this weekend! 🚂🚀🪕

I've watched pertnear every billy interview. What about the rest of the guys? I think it would be sick if they did lessons for their respective instruments, or even told stories about life on the road (kind of like those Waylon jennings cartoons). Funny moments etc. inspiration and the in depth stories behind some of our favorite tunes & how they came to be.

The best comparison would be Wiz Khalifas DayToday which I've watched for 10+ years. Would anyone else enjoy more behind the scenes, stories, or just the full band in general?

Just a heads up for anyone else that might be affected:

I was supposed to be staying at the Sonesta Inner Harbor. Used booking dot com months ago, paid in full, but got a message at noon today saying the hotel is closed for maintenance/renovations now.

Just looked a few days back and everything was still confirmed so idk what happened.

Thankfully I was able to get another hotel room at the Hampton inn by Camden yards, but it’s $150 more for my stay now.

Not the end of the world, just a pain in the ass lol

Anyway, figured I’d share with everyone just in case you might have an issue as well. If you’re staying over for the weekend maybe call and confirm your reservation, especially if you were at Sonesta.

See you all next week!!!

If you're in Chattanooga, you know what's happening. You should come!

I find it hard to believe that none of the band members are nominated for their respective instruments. Why isn’t Alex fiddle player of the year? He’s fiddle player of the year in my heart. Do they have to submit themselves for nomination or is it really that there are so many other skilled musicians out there?

How do I find out the songs played during set break? Last night there was an insane Running the Route played and I need it saved…

How was the poster situation last night? Did they sell out early? Was it a mad house? Plenty for all? I will be there tonight and thought I’d see. Posters aren’t necessary but nice to have!

It said early merch was at Area 61 next to the Trivoli but whenever I look it’s about .5 mi away. Is that the place I’m looking for or is there actually something right next to the theater?

My group and I went to Billyween the last 2 years only for the night 1. This year we got tickets for both nights. We always just dressed up per the theme the one night we went. Since we are going to both we are trying to decide if we dress up both nights. Trying to see what the majority is doing and going from there. Less than 2 weeks 🤘🏻🎸👻

Don’t think I have another photo. Bought on spring tour in Savannah- was at merch table- but just said Billy Strings on front and nothing on back- was not specific to the tour.
