Billy Strings Shares Lead Vocal Duties, Debuts New Covers in Hartfordphoto: Madison DoddLast night Billy Strings appeared at the PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, CT. Strings and his band have been routing through New England, on a tour that will next take them to the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY on Friday and Saturday. Tuesday’s show featured some song debuts and shared vocal responsibilities. The evening began with a lively “Cabin Song,” followed by a pairing of Carter Stanley’s “The Lonesome River” with a 10-minute take on “Home.” The second set offered a range of sounds and perspectives, as Strings handed off lead vocals to his bandmates on three tunes. Finally, Royal Masat offered up Marty Stuart’s “Old Mexico,” which the group last performed on 6/11/25, a 79 show gap.
