Billy Strings Releases Out-of-This-World Sophomore Album – ‘HOME’

The wait is finally over for one of the most anticipated bluegrass albums of the year. Today marks the release of HOME, the sophomore album by young flat-picking sorcerer Billy Strings. Released via Rounder Records, the complete work comes on the heels of three tracks teased out over the summer – “Taking Water,” exclusively premiered by Rolling Stone Country; “Away From the Mire,” which was debuted by The Boot; and “Everything’s the Same,” previewed by Billboard. HOME is String’s follow-up to 2017’s critically acclaimed Turmoil & Tinfoil.

String’s no-holds-barred style of flat-picking and brutally honest songwriting have been flooring critics and fans alike since he first hit the scene in 2013. Not yet out of his 20s, the Michigan-born, Nashville-based artist has shared the stage with some of the biggest names on the bluegrass and festival scene today including: Dierks Bentley, Del McCoury, David Grisman, Larry Keel, Sam Bush, The Marcus King Band, Greensky Bluegrass, The Infamous Stringdusters, The String Cheese Incident, Leftover Salmon, and Widespread Panic.

A fan of metal and rock, Strings crushes music’s boundaries, venturing into unchartered territories that blend elements of punk, country, folk, rock, and psychedelia to create a sound uniquely his own while remaining firmly rooted in bluegrass tradition. His jaw-dropping performances and relentless work ethic have paid off with a nearly sold-out fall tour that stretches across the country.
