About BILLY STRINGS:

Michigan-born and now Nashville-based, Billy Strings is a GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician, who arrived on the scene as “one of string music’s most dynamic young stars” (Rolling Stone). Strings is in the midst of a triumphant year after winning Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards for his critically acclaimed record, Home. Produced by Glenn Brown, the record also led Strings to top Billboard’s 2020 year-end charts in both Bluegrass categories—Top Bluegrass Artists and Top Bluegrass Albums—and continues to receive widespread critical acclaim. Of the release, The Associated Press proclaims, “it is his creative musical storytelling, paired with solid vocals on Home that should seal the deal, pleasing fans of the genre and creating some new ones…the perfect blend of pure talent and pluck,” while The Wall Street Journal declares, “Billy Strings has clearly emerged as a premier guitar flatpicker of this era.” Since his debut, Strings has been awarded Guitar Player of the Year and New Artist of the Year at the 2019 International Bluegrass Music Awards, selected as one of Rolling Stone’s “New Country Artists to Know” and performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and PBS’ “Bluegrass Underground.” Known for his electric live shows, Strings will continue his extensive headline tour throughout 2021 including upcoming shows in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Austin, Atlanta and Nashville among several others.

Out September 24 via Rounder Records, Renewal was produced by Jonathan Wilson (Conor Oberst, Roger Waters, Father John Misty) and solidifies Strings’ position as a singular artist—one who honors the history of the music that inspires him, while continually pushing it forward. With the record’s sixteen tracks, Strings shares a more personal and honest perspective through his songwriting, while incorporating his wide range of influences with elements of bluegrass, classic rock, metal, psychedelic music and more.

LYRICS

(Apostol / Lou)

Absolutely nothing

Nothing for to show

She’s feeling helpless

like there’s nowhere left to go

Things she set out to do

She made sure were done

She’s feeling dismal

But she’s not the only one

Take time to listen to the quiet ones

Watch how the pain lives

underneath the skin

Forgotten words and lost

love won’t make the grade

On a lonesome journey

Tryin’ to stay high

Put another coin in and

stop to wave goodbye

Praying to the hologram

High up in the sky

Is it for justice or is it just for the crime

Take time to listen to the quiet ones

Watch how the pain lives

underneath the skin

Forgotten words and lost

love won’t make the grade

Killers on the TV

Writing on the wall

How could such a kind heart

take such a heavy fall

Absolutely nothing

Nothing for to show

Heart and guts against the wind

and nowhere left to go

Take time to listen to the lonely ones

Watch how the rain gives

up a chance to swim

Burn the broken bridges and

we’ll build them up again
