[POSTPONED: April 10, 2020] Billy Strings / Molly Tuttle [moved to December 10]
I saw Billy strings open for I’m With Her in a small theater (seated). He was amazing. Not only was his guitar playing phenomenal (as his name suggests), but his banter and his attitude and everything about him just made me want to watch him all night.
When he announced a headlining tour I thought I’d really like to see him again. But this show is at the Fillmore–it’s just too big and impersonal a room to really enjoy what Billy can do, in my opinion.
I hope he can come back around and play some more intimate venues.
Molly Tuttle is an amazing bluegrass guitar player. Molly is noted for her flatpicking, clawhammer, and crosspicking guitar prowess. (She is also amazing at the banjo too). In 2017, Tuttle was the first woman to win the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Guitar Player of the Year award. In 2018 she won the award again, along with being named the Americana Music Association’s Instrumentalist of the Year. She played with Billy at Newport Folk Festival, but we only saw about five minutes of their set.
A night of Billy and Molly would blow your musical mind. Maybe the venue is immaterial.
Once this tour was postponed, Billy announced a streaming tour.
