Billy Strings Bio
Born William Apostol in 1992 and raised in Muir, Michigan, Billy Strings has become a leading name in contemporary bluegrass. His style combines precise flatpicking and traditional roots with progressive arrangements and extended improvisation, earning him a devoted following known as the Stringband.
His album Home (2019) won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2021. Later releases include Renewal, Me/And/Dad—a collaboration with his father, Terry Barber—and Live Vol. 1, which received the same Grammy honor in 2025. Popular songs include “Dust in a Baggie,” “Taking Water,” “Heartbeat of America,” “California Sober,” and “Away From The Mire.”
Strings is known for changing setlists and stretching songs into exploratory live performances, so each show can have its own character.
