I thought you all might be able to appreciate the following:
This photo was taken on September 15, 2017 in Asheville, NC. My wife took it on her iPhone 4 and didn’t know how to turn her flash on and was too panicked to ask me, so this is the best I could brighten one of 10 up to.
It was my third time seeing him, and first time meeting him. Whiskey Shivers opened for Billy that night. It was actually how old the design of the BS shirt I was wearing that got me the chance to meet him and get “Turmoil & Tinfoil” a week early and autographed by himself and Billy Failing. I also got Billy Failing’s solo album, “Calling My Trouble By Name,” of which they both kindly signed. This show also happened to be the final appearance of former mandolin player, Drew Matulich, of whom played mandolin on “Turmoil & Tinfoil.”
My first time seeing him was April 27, 2016 playing a solo gig at Wolf Hills Brewing Co. in Abingdon, VA. It was about an hour and a half from where I lived at the time, but this dude had been blowing my mind from what I’d seen and heard online, having purchased his debut EP.
My second show was a Christmas Present from my amazing wife because she knew I’d found the picker of my dreams. It took place at the beautiful Barter Theatre, back in Abingdon, VA again. It was January 15, 2017 and he was opening for another great band, The Infamous Stringdusters.
Unfortunately, I’ve not met the man since, but now realizing this subreddit exists, I became excited to share the story of how I made my life better over the last nearly 10 years simply by jammin’ the he’ll out of some Billy Strings.
