Fresh Air

Bluegrass Star Billy Strings

08 Sep 2025

Description

The Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and guitarist has one foot in traditional bluegrass and another in improvisational jam music. He has a new album, Live at the Legion, and he brought his guitar to our studio. He spoke with Sam Briger about healing himself through songwriting, performing the day his mom died, and how being a father has changed him as a musician. "I sing now from a place of freedom and joy in my belly," Strings says. Also, jazz critic Martin Johnson reviews an album from harpist Brandee Younger. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
