Billy Strings Pittsburgh reviews
Absolutely Blown Away!
I expected this to be a great show, but it exceeded my expectations, in spades. Wow!
Billy Strings is one of the top traditional flat picking guitarists out there. But his live shows show he’s that and much more. He and his band (which every member is phenomenally good) can go from tradition bluegrass to psychedelia, to jam band aficionados on a dime. Incredible!
Truly every band member is top shelf, and then some. The sound was superb and well balanced. The light show and stage set-up was grade A. Just an incredible show in every aspect.
With the break between sets they probably played 2.5+ hours and encored with Pink Floyd’s Wish You We’re Here. They also covered Jackson Browne’s Running on Empty. This is a great example of their diversity!
If you get the chance, go see BMFS! You won’t be sorry.
Blown Away
Billy Strings left me blown away both nights. These guys play their instruments as if they were born fused to them. The band seems to get better and tighter with each show. Billy’s energy and love of playing flows through each member and elevates the intensity, heart, and soul of each member. It’s as if they have been playing together since their youth. Billy’s playing ability is indescribable, and he brings his A game every night. His humility and gratitude for his fans brings a closeness and connection not felt at any other show I have attended. I left each night with the biggest smile on my face and in my soul. The style of play, the lyrics of the songs, the energy of the band and fans overtakes you and takes you to another plain. I am full of gratitude and happiness to have been at these shows and experienced the greatness of the music, the love the band has for the music and the fans, the friendships, and the memories made from watching the GOAT, Billy Strings. Many thanks to Billy and his band for blowing me away once again at John Paul Jones arena in Charlottesville, VA.
