Grammy-nominated bluegrass artist, Billy Strings, has launched a promising nationwide tour featuring his latest album, created with his father. The tour begins in Asheville, North Carolina before spanning across various cities across the nation. The performances will display the intriguing blend of traditional and contemporary acoustic music Strings is famous for, each ticket eagerly snatched up by excited fans.
The revered father-and-son dynamic on stage offers a rare opportunity for the audience to experience their musical legacy in the flesh, a testament to their barnstorming performances. Following a packed schedule until May, the tour will then take a respite in June and July before resuming and concluding at the renowned Kia Forum in Los Angeles later in the summer.
