Billy’s Busy 2022: Guitarist Billy Strings Had Another Breakout Year

34

Looking back as the end of the year approaches, it is clear that 2022 was filled with milestones and memorable experiences for guitarist Billy Strings. Strings made headlines throughout the year as his stature continued to rise.

The guitarist collaborated with a who’s-who of talented musicians, was nominated for and won prestigious awards, headlined new venues, expanded his band, released an album with his father, appeared on television several times, and staged many memorable concerts on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean – with more to come.

While last year’s New Year’s Eve Run (like many others) was canceled, Strings will ring in what’s all but certain to be another eventful year with a two-night stand in New Orleans on December 30 and New Year’s Eve. In 2023, Strings will embark on his first headlining arena tour as the audiences he performs in front of continue to grow.

Strings’ well-deserved upward trajectory skyrocketed this year and deserves a close inspection before closing the door on 2022. Scroll on for a month-by-month review of many of the highlights of a highlight-filled year Billy Strings has had thus far.
