In other Billy Strings news, the prodigious picker on Sunday took home his third career Best Bluegrass Album win at the Grammy Awards for 2024’s Highway Prayers. He was not in attendance to accept the award, however, as he appears to have been hard at work recording his next record. As he noted in an Instagram story on Tuesday, “just made my best album yet. … fkn stoked.” He later shared some photos from the studio.
