Billy Strings has become one of the most electrifying forces in modern American music — a flatpicking phenom who channels the raw spirit of bluegrass while stretching its boundaries into psychedelia, jam, folk, and uncharted improvisational terrain. Born William Apostol in Michigan and raised on the high-lonesome sound of Doc Watson, Del McCoury, and Bill Monroe, Strings skyrocketed from regional stages to sold-out arenas, festival headlines, and Grammy gold with the 2019 breakthrough Home. His playing is fierce and fearless, his songwriting introspective and unguarded, and his live shows feel like cosmic revivals — where banjos melt into space, tradition collides with the future, and bluegrass becomes limitless. Surrounded by a world-class band and a community of collaborators, Billy Strings stands today as a defining voice of this generation’s acoustic revolution — a modern torchbearer pushing roots music boldly into tomorrow.
