Billy Strings, the biggest star of fashionable bluegrass (who else in the style could headline two nights at the Moody Center this coming June?), built a surprise visual appeal at Radio Coffee & Beer’s Bluegrass Monday residency very last 7 days. The lightning-fingers acoustic guitarist joined best-shelf neighborhood pickers Andrew Pressman, Tony Kamel, Luke Bulla, and Kym Warner for the overall 2nd set, including top “Cocaine Blues” and “John Henry.” Onstage, Strings effusively praised the fellow musicians and gave exclusive props to mandolinist Warner – seemingly the only member he failed to know now. Kamel reported Strings’ look was surprising but no shock, since “that male just straight-up lives to decide. Normally has. Always will.” Strings wore a “Pay attention to Blaze Foley” shirt and, on the suggestions of Austin New music Awards director Paul Slight, frequented Foley’s grave at the close by Stay Oak Cemetery the next morning.
