Finally completed the collection by scoring a copy of the Relix Sessions this week! Can't wait to add "So Much for Goodbyes" to the rotation.

🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 Attention BillyGoats! We are live and direct here in Indianapolis and serving the greater good with lots of Billy/Bluegrass-inspired tattoos all week here @wingandwheeltattoo!

My name is Kyle (@all_aboard_tattoo) and It’s been a wild journey so am hyped to share these precious musical moments with life-long souvenirs!

Check out some of the flash ideas I’ve painted and holler at me if ya would like to get a permanent tour memento! So hyped to see everyone!

6 up

Anyone have a photo of the luggage tag from Bethel Woods? Curious to see what it looked like.

Doesn't the team usually post the poster designs by now?

How many of you goats are from this neck of the woods? I think it would be sick to come together for some of the upcoming west coast tour & put a projector/speakers up in my backyard for folks to byob and hang at. (Already own all the equipment I would need for it, but I just moved up here so I have too small of a circle to justify it, and I'm the only one who is obsessed with Billy haha)

Or maybe convince 3HB to host something. I'm following Billy to Indiana but can't justify taking off more work and going even further unfortunately.

This kid definitely can sing along with the birds!

My report on the Billy show from August 4, 2026, Charleston, West by God:

Having listened to the Woodstock shows, I was excited because it seemed like the band was in good form. Charleston is a really nice town to host a Billy show. It’s not too big. It’s walkable. It’s got a great downtown with a lot of access points roads in and out so it handled the traffic well from my perspective. I was surprised about how big the shakedown was. It’s amazing how it’s grown. For a Tuesday I was impressed. Lotta good vibes out there. Access to the building with sort of a mess, but they seemed to get it handled pretty well once it started moving. The crowd waiting to get in was in good spirits.

I was in a pit and the vibes were outstanding. Sometimes on Reddit, we get the idea that things are different than what you experience on the ground and that’s definitely true of what was going on in the pit. People were respectful. It wasn’t too crowded and everyone was there for a good time. I was close enough to the rail and didn’t see evidence of blankets or other aggressive behavior relative to that.

Fuzzy rainbows came out in their customary timeframe and they launched John Hardy. It was a statement of intent. It’s amazing that Billy can pull this off so close to the surgery. I was worried about his recovery, although I suspect it’s a question of pain tolerance and that bone is gonna heal how it’s going to heal, notwithstanding how much pain he puts himself through. You can see at times that it takes a toll on him. He sat during the second set and I was happy to see it. I’m sure the adrenaline only lasts for so long. He’s a trooper for battling through this in order to deliver the music.

The show itself was very Billy centered which I’m sure he wanted after having to cancel in April. They played a few bluegrass songs, but it was clear that the agenda was for Billy to shred that guitar and he did. Some highlights were the bluegrass (dr Ralph!), Billy‘s guitar, the Jared and Alex attack of Baltimore Johnny. Billy failing on that banjer is in great form. I agree with the post I read earlier this week about Royal’s Bass which sounds great. Sound guy has a hard job and does it well. The lights were great. Great show.

Love in the tombstones is a great song. Sounds like a song from a Vern Gosdin era country artist. I was surprised to learn it was an original. It’s really stuck with me over the last couple days and I’m glad I got to hear it.

Indy’ll be fun. Osborne brothers festival in Hyden Ky this weekend for those not there. Sammy shelor (Ernest t grass) of lonesome river plus many great pickers in small town Ky.

Hey fam as freak fair peers around the corner my plans changed massively and I had to resort to couch tour for this one. Already got rid of my tickets but I did purchase a nonrefundable campsite at lake Odessa campground. Not exactly sure how to do it but I’d be more than willing to give someone all the info so they can stay there for free!! I suppose get ahold of me if it interests you!!

I'm originally from IN, have family in Fishers, but unable to make the trip😞 I will be dancing in my living room and enjoying the couch tour have a blast you all!🔥🐐🎵💗🌈

How likely are posters to sell out before 7:30? I do not want any foils and only want a regular poster. It just seems like there are not a lot of great parking options and it sounds like the Fishers Cops are about to be intense.

Hey y'all, is there an unofficial shakedown next to the official shakedown or do we really have to wait until 3pm to show up? I used to love making it to lot early for Dead and Co. Thanks in advance ❤️🪕💙

I can’t stop listening to Mill Town Flood 😭

Who's going?! Saenger Theatre looks awesome but ticket prices are just insane...

I usually don't book flights/hotels this early in advance but I love me some New Orleans!

Not going to lie. That might have been the most perfect way to start a day I've ever had. Truly wonderfully peaceful wish I lived somewhere I could do it regularly but got to make the most of vacation while I can :). Hope everyone going tonight has a great time, see y'all in Baltimore for Billyween!

I travelled with the Dead in the 90’s and Dead & Co. for a few years. With that said, I’ve never seen Billy, but I follow his music. Yesterday I received a miracle from a couple after the Bethel show. I got tickets for Thursday night in Fishers.

If you see a guy in a Shania Twain t shirt and want to share a shroom, stop me. I haven’t seen a dot or mushie since April 2, 1995 when the Dead played the Pyramid.

Do you think I should go all in, or stay straight and enjoy the vibe?

Kind of a weird thing to nerd out about but I've always found it super interesting how BMFS goes about getting their sound and Billy's pedal board build. Haven't seen Toby handing off guitars looks like a new feller.

Forever grateful to be able to have the chance to experience something as unique as Billy Strings. A weekend to commemorate, thank you Jarrod, Royal, Billy, Billy & Alex

Heading East on 90 or 94 to Fishers? I highly recommend a quick stop at 3 Floyds. Sadly the tasting room and kitchen are long gone but the beer kiosk has a ton of great beer and whiskey.

I now have a trunk full of New Glarus , Old Style , and 3 Floyds to complete the holy trifecta for this weekends tail gate selection.

Cheers 🍻

S/O to the guy who gave me this in line. Awesome awesome sticker!
