    I love that all my fav. current musicians seem to be friendly with one and other, very heartwarming to say the least. We are so so lucky.

    Jealous for anyone and everyone who got to attend last night. That must have been a treat. Also I am pumped to see Alex Hargreaves join them more often on tour. Would love to see the five piece become a permanent thing.

    Truly the New England area. I was catching a Gordo show at the Sinclair in Cambridge, MA (2018-2019?) and Trey randomly came out. It seemed like folks were aware of his presence at these recent shows (Strings & Goose), but still seems to be a better guarantee being anywhere in the Maine - New York vicinity.

    Billy completely blew me away. The only other band I’ve ever seen have the crowd that deeply in the palm of their hand is phish. The wall of sound they can create is phenomenal.

    Just bought GA pit seats for Nassau Collesium for 97 bucks. I literally know no one in my life that likes Billy Strings, but I pulled the trigger and am going alone . I need to see this guy.

    Go and have a blast. I've been 3 times now, all solo, and each time I was so glad I decided to go.

    Venue sizes are really becoming a problem for Billy. He’s not far off from having to pick legit arenas over theaters. I scored great tickets for both Met shows in Philly via the presale but a bunch of people got shut out on Friday.

    Love this! They didn't "need" him by any means, but it's awesome to have more of that bluegrass sound on the stage.

    Agreed they didnt "need" him but damn what a complement to the overall sound the fiddle is.

    UNO Arena for NYE run.

    Odd choice, didn’t even know that venue existed. 10k person venue on the outskirts of Nola 15-20min drive from downtown. hmmm

    My only concert there was Tom Petty and Pete Droge in 1995. It seemed old then. They used it for a couple episodes in the Roadies show on Showtime a few years back.

    I imagine it will be a somewhat tough draw to sell those out. Nola isn’t that big of a city, obviously a huge music city but there will certainly be tons of NYE options and he’s not the style that dominants the musical scene down there. Thus I imagine most people coming in will have it as a destination show. Nola is a great place to go for that purpose, but a 10k person venue that’s outside of downtown/city proper. I don’t know about that.

    I hope he sells them out, he deserves to sell out every show he does, but I do think it’s an interesting choice.

    NOLA on Halloween was INSANE. We went to Voodoo Fest to see Kiss in 2009. French Quarter was about a 15 min drive from the festival and we still went to Bourbon around midnight. It won't be anything for 10,000 wooks to head down to Bourbon after the show.

    I can see this being a draw just for NOLA on NYE. One of the biggest party nights in the year in the biggest party city in the country.

    That said, 10,000 may be the top of his current draw right now. Probably close to sell-outs if not complete. And it's only two nights. Not like he's trying to pull 3-4 nights.

    Listening to this Red Rocks SCI and Billy show. Set of Dead tunes, just great. I'd really love it if once every 2-3 years Billy put solo aside for a couple months and did something with the Dead's music/members. He just fits it so incredibly well.
