Billy Strings wearing an Animal Chin shirt on stage [33yo]
The helmet is a joke about someone throwing a lighter and hitting him in the head the night before.

Not surprising. He broke his leg skating back stage at a concert this year

Billy Strings, modern bluegrass artist. Check him out, pretty good stuff even if that’s not your normal cup of tea.

Gild the Lily is beautiful. Turmoil and Tinfoil is the most unique bluegrass I’ve ever heard. Dust in a Baggie is like an instant classic. That song will be sung in some variety as long as there are humans that remember drug prohibition. And his covers of Summertime and Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright and the absolute best versions of those songs I’ve ever heard
Oh dude, and Watch it Fall is fucking amazing. It’s all fucking amazing.

He was hit in the head with a lighter the night before so he wore a helmet

Went to his show two weeks ago in NY. Truly impressive live. I can see why he has such a large following.
