Billy Strings
I came across this guy last year totally by accident. I was at a music festival watching Brian Setzer and it started raining so we ran to this big tent where these guys were THROWING IT DOWN up on this little stage.
This guy is a phenomenal flat picker and his band is fantastic.

I dug Billy Strings more before the freaky tattoos and blatant jamband marketing. He can definitely rip, though! I'm guessing you and I and the other guy here who likes Drive-by Truckers will be the only ones to like this. If he did this same thing through a Marshall stack he would've already been a topic of discussion here for a couple of years now.

The other two guys are just as good as him.

I was kind of surprised to learn people around here don’t like some of the other stuff we tend to like outside of CH. They often like their music served up by someone who has dated a stripper.
I just dig people that try to bring me something different each show

TJENZ, that's the other guy I was thinking of who might like Billy Strings.
You gotta check out that clip I posted. He blows about a full minute of an awesome solo before the song starts.
I've been on a big kick with this stuff. Just got two Old & In the Way CD's, which was Jerry Garcia's bluegrass band. Also ordered a couple of Bill Monroe box sets and two Stanley Brothers compilations.

This time of year has all the great bluegrass festivals. My old hometown had one last week called Romp and it gets all the big names to come there.
I’m definitely more of a hippie jam hippie rock hippie bluegrass kind of guy.

That’s cool—No biggie! I share CC’s view that the cellphone video is a modern day equalizer.
