The show must go on, with or without fans and, from the stage of an empty Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, Billy Strings proved that even without fans he’s got one of the most energetic shows around.
This past weekend, the Denver music community helped usher one of the best young players in the country to the next level. Back in September, when it was announced that Billy Strings would be playing two nights at The Ogden, the buzz was deafening but people were initially skeptical that he would sell out both shows. Well, tickets went on sale and disappeared so quickly that AEG added a third night and, guess what, those vanished as well. In mere minutes, Strings sold out three nights at the venerable Colfax theater.
