This is a big day for Billy Strings. His new album has just been released via Reprise Records. Strings produced So Much for Goodbyes with T Bone Burnett. The 16-track record is a deeply personal work that is accompanied by original artwork created by Strings’ late mother, Debra Apostol.
Friday also marks the opening of the Ionia Frear Fair. The two-day gathering, which Strings curated, is a hometown affair that will take place at the Ionia Fairgrounds in Ionia, MI. The confirmed performers include: Strings, Greensky Bluegrass, Sierra Hull, Leftover Salmon, Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper, Lindsay Lou, Full Cord, and others.
Strings has also just confirmed a series of 2027 tour dates. He will appear with his band for five nights at the ExploreAsheville.com Arena in Asheville, NC. Then it’s off to Duluth, GA for two gigs at Gas South Arena. This will be followed by a pair of shows at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. A Ryman Auditorium date will follow with the purchase of a Bridgestone Arena ticket required to be eligible to receive Ryman tickets.
