"The emotion is forced upon us listeners. It’s as real as it will be. Love and regret and enough to Leave had to be tough. I’ll speak for everyone if y’all don’t mind. Alrighty then. We freaking love you billy thank you for giving us this I would have been curled up in the corner man playing the wrong instrument. We love you and yours "

"Burner of a show. Came in from Knoxville and had seats on the reserved rail. Stoked for the show and was incredibly bummed by the news of Billy’s mother. Shed a tear during rock of ages and was blown away with the rest of the show. Loved watching the crust wooks spin during hiding and rainbow "

"This was my 41st, and I traveled from SC to Kentucky. Once he delivered the news the veil seemed to become thin. You could tell the stage became his altar. The one place that had never betrayed him, the stage. And he gave it everything he had, for his mom. I lost my mother in 2019, and Billy’s music helped me out of a very dark chapter of my life. I saw my first BMFS show in 2021. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to be there for Billy. Because him and the rest of the band are always there for me when I go to see them. It’s evident to me the energy exchange that takes place every show is very real. 10/10. Way to celebrate your mother’s life, Bill. Much love. RIP Debra Apostle "

"Rip to THE Momma Strings. I have never felt anything like the energy I received in Lexington that Friday night. I couldnt bob my head and vibe with Rock of Ages, but that was only because I quickly became overran with emotions. I brought my younger brother to this show and we got into the Pit (Alex side). I had heard the opener several times, but the words never sounded the way they did when they came from Billy in that moment. I think the Rainbow is one of the best played as of yet. RIP Deb Apostle"

"This was my first ever Billy show. I’ve been a fan for many years. Seeing it in person is something I cannot describe. Let alone, this being the first show. So much emotion. Billy and his mates are a class act. Such a beautiful, carefully curated tribute to Momma Strings. Sending all the good vibes and prayers through the universe to the Apostle family to navigate this difficult time. "

"Dang it Billy, king of emoting you can hear that throat singing rawness in this one. He’s such a good singer we talk so much of those guitar strings, how ‘bout them vocal cords?!? Obviously Royal, Jarrod, Alex- dem boyzzz killing it always. Love through "
Silly Billy — 6/26/2025 2:29:33 PM
"What a heartfelt show...Billy gave us everything...the first set Mire was great...I'd like to be a train was perfect and the hide and seek...the Pearl Jam to honor his Mom was perfect...thank you Billy..."

"Incredible show even under such raw, painful emotion. ‘Hide and Seek’ just blew me away. Thank you for powering through the show although I felt we all should have left you to deal with the loss of your mom rather than having to perform. "

"Thanks mama strings for your wonderful influence! Tears all through the show! "

"After listening to every single show on this channel or yt, some live shows or wherever, I can hear that extra energy he brings for his mom and it's incredible. Rest easy mom"

"Man. Im sorry. The bands fortitude has never been so evident. And it is obviously always there. There is a reason they are at the top. What a man, what a band. Thank you for letting us in your family. Whatever you need Billy!"

"I didn't know about the passing, and never met her, but I can tell you the words on others' lips were that of love and respect. I planned on listening while riding my bike 10 miles. I didn't stop until the show did. if Billy could make it through the show, I can make it 50 miles. Doing what I can out of love and respect. BTW, great show too."
