Thank you CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing Billy Strings covering the Newgrass Revival song "This Heart of Mine," live for Creekside Sessions July 26th, 2017
Born William Apostol in small town Michigan, Billy Strings idolized his father, Terry Barber, an amateur bluegrass picker who bought him his first guitar when he was 4 years old. Raised on his father's music, Strings played in a metal band in middle school called To Once Darkened Skies, but by the time he was in high school he found himself in a "dark" place, surrounded by drug abuse. While taking his mom's car for a joyride one day, he rediscovered his love for bluegrass, and once he'd finally graduated high school (after dropping out twice) he headed to Traverse City and found a mentor in veteran player Don Julin. The pair performed as a team until Strings struck out on his own in early 2016 and headed to Nashville. His debut LP, Turmoil & Tinfoil, produced by Greensky Bluegrass' Glenn Brown, is due September 22nd, and even features a cameo from his father.
