Try the most recent in cross-genre collaboration, and no, I’m not speaking about Ben Shapiro and Tom MacDonald’s rap music. At a present in Nashville, TN on January 23, iconic post-metal band Software introduced up bluegrass guitarist Billy Strings to affix them for his or her music “The Grudge.” Contemplating that each metallic and bluegrass have their roots in blues, it’s a extra acceptable team-up than you would possibly assume, as Strings proved when he completely nailed his solo half. You may see that on this video {that a} fan captured.
Strings is a rising star within the bluegrass scene. He’s put out three albums and received a Grammy for Greatest Bluegrass Album in 2021 for his file House. In response to a profile of him within the New York Occasions, the musician’s father taught him bluegrass music and Black Sabbath songs whereas his mom often blasted Santana or Soundgarden round the home. So it could appear that the bluegrass wunderkind has just a little little bit of rock and metallic affect as nicely.
The current efficiency marks the second time that Software has invited Strings as much as carry out with them. The band introduced up Strings to carry out the music “Jambi” with them at a efficiency in Salt Lake Metropolis again in October. The excited guitarist posted on Instagram about how a lot of an honor it was to play guitar with a band he admired:
“having me up on a tune final night time. It was such an unimaginable honor to pluck just a few notes with you legends!!!! I’m by no means coming down from this one #buckerstratridesagain #ifikeepdoingthesesitinsmaybeillactuallylearbhowtoplayelectricguitar #jambi #zambi // @leonardlamangano naughty naughty”
Contemplating that Software has invited Strings as much as carry out with them twice now, it’d sign the start of an ongoing collaborative relationship between the band and the younger bluegrass artist. Maybe we’ll see him plucking his guitar—or higher but, his banjo—every time Software will get round to releasing their subsequent album.
