Raised in Michigan and now based in Nashville, Billy Strings is known as one of music’s most compelling artists. In the midst of yet another landmark year, Strings recently joined forces with renowned guitarist Bryan Sutton to surprise release a new collaborative album, Live at the Legion, which was recorded live at Nashville’s American Legion Post 82 and features the duo performing 20 traditional bluegrass and folk songs. The project follows Strings’ acclaimed 2024 album, Highway Prayers, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales chart—the first time in 22 years that a bluegrass album has been the top-selling album across genres—as well as Billy Strings Live Vol. 1, Strings’ Grammy Award-winning live album.

Continuing to receive overwhelming praise, GQ calls Strings “the hottest roots-music phenomenon in decades,” while Pitchfork declared, “the bluegrass wunderkind expands his palette, exploring new textures and emotional registers while staying true to his beloved genre.” Since his 2017 debut, Strings has also been awarded Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd Grammy Awards, Artist of the Year at the 2023 and 2022 Americana Music Awards, Entertainer of the Year at the 2023, 2022 and 2021 International Bluegrass Music Awards, Best New Headliner at the 2022 Pollstar Awards and Breakthrough Artist of the Pandemic at the 2021 Pollstar Awards among several other accolades. Known for his electric live shows, Strings has performed countless sold-out dates worldwide and will continue to tour through this summer including headline dates across the U.S., Australia and New Zealand as well as several shows as part of Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour.
