Billy Strings celebrated his new album Friday (8/28), by playing all of it during the first night of his two-day run at the Ionia Freak Fair in Michigan.
So Much for Goodbyes (2026) is a 16-song beast written or co-written by the 33-year-old guitar hero with collaborators including Jan Fabricius, Pat McLaughlin, Tim O’Brien, and others.
A dozen of the tunes received their live debuts Friday, which also happened to be the day the record dropped. To play them in a festival he organized in his hometown was special for both he and his fans.
Strings opened the show with “I’m One of Those” and “Burn the Other End,” both of which had already been heard by audiences.
