But a few lucky revelers in Charleston, West Virginia got the ultimately intimate Billy Strings experience on Sunday night (8-2) as Billy stopped into the Empty Glass, cap. Billy String jumped up on stage with his Gibson SG electric guitar, and according to the lucky bastards who were there, played all night. According to one account, Billy Strings was at the bar the whole night, and after stepping off the main stage, he went out on the acoustic porch to pick with local guitarist Jakob Thomas for some two hours.
