Billy Strings continued his ongoing tour on Wednesday night with his first of two performances at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA. The sold-out, two-set performance saw Strings (real name William Apostol) and company work through their patented mix of originals, bluegrass standards, and crowd-pleasing covers.
The quartet—which features Billy alongside banjoist Billy Failing, upright bassist Royal Masat, and mandolinist Jarrod Walker—also welcomed Boston-based progressive bluegrass guitarist Stash Wyslouch to sit in at multiple points throughout the night. Watch a video Billy Strings and Stash Wyslouch covering James Gang classic “Funk 49” and listen to a full audio recording of the show below:
