On Saturday, December 26th, 50+ artists and hundreds of thousands of viewers around the world came together for Georgia Comes Alive, a virtual music festival aimed at promoting voter participation in Georgia’s Senate runoff elections on January 5th, 2021, which saw a record-breaking voter turnout.

Among the many talented acts to contribute performances to the nine-hour streaming marathon were young bluegrass hero Billy Strings and his eponymous band, who used the day-after-Christmas event to serve up some bonus content from their String The Halls: Home For The Holidays video series.

The “12 Days of Bluegrass” series saw Strings and company release a new, classic TV-stylized video featuring a cover of a classic bluegrass tune each day in the lead-up to the 25th. For Georgia Comes Alive on the 26th, Billy cracked open the proverbial refrigerator and heated up a leftover, thirteenth String The Halls video not initially included in the series, Karen Staley and Gary Harrison-penned country classic, “A Face In The Crowd”.
