Norman Blake’s 12 Fret Shade Top D-28 — 8/9/2026
"Hand me down my walking cane! Love it"
New Haven Pizza — 8/8/2026

"Keep your stick on the ice for this one. Seemed like everyone in the room was having as much fun as the band. Malfunction junction felt like hopping onto a moving train. Royals vocals on Old Mexico into a smoking hot TUIB was a summer tour highlight. Connecticut bluegrass goes hard and I think Billy understands the east coast energy"
I’m Still Here — 8/5/2026
"Really good show, somewhat unique setlist. Like a lot of these New England shows this run, they tend to be more picking than jamming, but when they jam it gets heavy. Also I used to think Jerry owned the Tangled Up In Blue title, but it may be Mr Apostle "

"Was my first Billy show and will definitely not be my last. What a performer. The studio stuff doesn’t do him justice. Was able to catch this and both bethel nights and am still wowed. 5/5 for both sets. The band plays so tight and fast it’s absurd. What a time to be alive. "
3rd show — 7/30/2026
"3rd show in 3 years in these guys are just get tighter as a band, amazing to see in real time. And that Highway Hypnosis was face melting "

"First Billy show in the books. Was blown away by that highway hypnosis. Gild was sick and hold the woodpile down was a dance party. Old Mexico, aeroplane, and nighthawk were great too"

"It’s rare to have JW Royal and Billy F sing in same show. Old Mexico, Nighthawk, and Aeroplane. Really enjoyed it. Home, Lily and junction and more rarities. Tangled up in blue? Just dig a little deeper "
