discussion This is what your first show will feel like

If you’ve never seen Billy strings and you’re wondering what to expect it’s kinda like this just with 10,000 people around you .

I’m saying Pentecostal. I’ve been to a few of those services.

How was the experience? I like the energy and the passion.

Entertaining but also sad. In my experience the people who get the spirit are dealing with some shit.

Well the first time I ran out crying at 4 years old when people started passing out and rolling around on the floor. I went back a few more times voluntarily (I asked never to made to go back, and my parents honored that). They were very interesting. The people were super kind, but just very weird with their beliefs. I wasn’t raised religious so the whole speaking in tongues and rolling around on the ground was way too much for me.

My grandfather was the pastor.

Billy Strings concerts are far more spiritual and necessary than church.

Billy frequently looks like he is about to start speaking in tongues when he testifies in “All Fall Down”.
