Originally recorded earlier this year, the Grammy-nominated blues of Billy Strings gets a live release. “Meet Me At The Creek > Pyramid Country > Must Be Seven > Meet Me At The Creek (Live at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Winston-Salem, NC 3/4/23),” is a 38-minute track that has Strings performing a medley of his tracks. It was recorded in front of a sold-out audience in North Carolina while Strings was on tour. It features Jarrod Walker (mandolin), Royal Massat (bass), Billy Failing (banjo), and Alex Hargreaves (fiddle).
The career-spanning live album comes on the heels of Strings being nominated for three separate Grammy Awards, Best Bluegrass Album (Me/And/Dad), Best American Roots Song (“California Sober” feat. Willie Nelson) and Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“High Note” with Dierks Bentley). The new Live album will be accompanied by a full video which will premiere on String’s YouTube at noon EST today (December 8).
Strings will continue his electric live shows into 2024 with a string of dates across the U.S. Check out the new live LP and the full list of dates below. You can get tickets to the upcoming shows here.
