Singer, songwriter, musician and bluegrass phenom Billy Strings has extended his 2023 headline tour through this summer, adding shows at Midway Lawn at Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction, VT on July 22 and 23.

Billy Strings has become recognized as one of acoustic music’s most expressive vocalists. “My goal was just to master expressing myself through bluegrass music and so many of those players just sing how they talk. Then, when I grew up, I learned that I liked Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin, so that influenced me, too,” he says.

Since his 2017 debut, he has been awarded Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards, Artist of the Year at the 2022 Americana Music Awards, Entertainer of the Year and Song of the Year at the 2022 International Bluegrass Music Awards, and more.

His latest record Renewal landed on several year-end “Best of” lists including The Bitter Southerner, No Depression, Glide, The Boot, Folk Alley, and was one of the Top 50 Most Played Albums at Americana Radio last year. The New York Times declared the record, “a premier bluegrass mind for this post-everything era…he has zigged and zagged between the form’s antediluvian traditions and rapid-fire improvisations that hit like hard bop..”
