Billy Strings to embark on live streamed tour of Nashville – Guitar.com

Billy Strings is set to embark on the Streaming Strings 2020 Tour, which will see the flatpicking wizard perform live stream sets throughout several venues in Nashville, Tennessee. The tour is set to kick off with two consecutive shows at the Brooklyn Bowl on 16 July.

Strings unveiled the nine-night tour in a video announcement over Facebook, sharing that each show would feature a full band setup and be held over five venues: the Brooklyn Bowl, the Station Inn, the City Winery, Exit/In and 3rd & Lindsley.

Take a look at the video announcement below.

Additionally, a portion of digital ticket sales would be donated to a series of charity organisations, including ACLU, Backline and the NAACP’s Legal Defense and Education Fund. Tickets – priced at $9.99 each – will be available for purchase on 16 June on Strings’ website.

Sweepstakes held in tandem with the tour will also see nine fans win “guest list” codes to one of the shows and a grand prize will include two tickets, a signed setlist, as well as a merch bundle.
