Once again, Northeast Florida music lovers can experience a trifecta of Billy Strings shows this spring, when the Grammy Award winner performs at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Thursday, April 3, Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5. Tickets at the venue box office go on sale Friday, January 10 at 10 a.m.

Strings and his band are touring in support of his current album Highway Prayers. Released last September and co-produced by Strings and Jon Brion (Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, Mac Miller), the 20-track Highway Prayers features Strings and his ace band—Billy Failing (banjo), Royal Masat (bass), Jarrod Walker (mandolin), and Alex Hargraves (fiddle)—joined by session players Matt Chamberlain (drums), Cory Henry (organ) and dobro player Jerry Douglas tackling an eclectic range of original and co-written tracks by Strings, ranging from newgrass rockers to ethereal psychedelic stylings. 

Highway Prayers has received strong praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and No Depression and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Albums, and was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album at the upcoming Grammy Awards.

Billy Strings performs at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 3; Thursday, April 4, and Friday, April 5 at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, January 10 and are available here. Single-day and three-day ticket options available.
