About Billy Strings

Billy Strings is the stage name of William Apostol, raised in Michigan, where his stepfather Terry Barber taught him bluegrass standards on guitar. He spent his teenage years playing in rock and metal bands before returning to acoustic music, and his first album, Turmoil & Tinfoil, came out in 2017.

Home won the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album, as did Me/And/Dad, a record of traditional songs made with Barber. His band works in the standard string lineup of banjo, mandolin, fiddle and bass, yet his shows take after jam-band practice, with changing setlists, long improvised sections and a large following that collects recordings of individual nights.
