Billy Strings playing music for some friends

No concert or studio videos, just sitting around drinking and playing for a small group in somebody's house.
I love this kid's music, everything from his fantastic guitar playing to his voice.

    1. That was the first song of his that I heard too and was hooked.

    1. My wife's nephew partied with him when he played locally a year or two ago and said the same thing. Very down to earth.

  4. Pretty good flat pickin'.

    Try this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5kthRxgINk

    Several cuts on that one - lasts an hour. Well worth watching if you've ever played guitar.

  6. I remember, some years ago, seeing him in a similar video of him doing 'Dust in a Baggie'. He was just hanging out with friends, playing & having a good time; couldn't have been more than 16 or 17 then. It reminded me of myself and friends around that age.
    Kid's'll do that, anyway, but when you grow up within a quarter-tank of gas from Trashville, there's always at least one guitar around somewhere; with luck, there may be at least one person with some skill playing.
