The upcoming performances add to yet another landmark year for Strings, who is nominated for three awards at the upcoming 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards: Best Bluegrass Album (Me/And/Dad), Best American
Roots Song ("California Sober" feat. Willie Nelson) and Best Country Duo/Group Performance ("High Note" with Dierks Bentley).
Additionally,
Strings recently unveiled "Meet Me At The Creek > Pyramid Country > Must Be
Seven > Meet Me At The Creek (Live at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Winston-Salem, NC 3/4/23)," a 38-minute live performance that showcases the energy of Strings' electric concerts.
The release follows "California Sober," a collaboration with legendary artist Willie
Nelson and Strings' first project since partnering with Reprise Records, as well as his most recent full-length album, Me/And/Dad, which features
Strings alongside his dad, Terry Barber.
The product of a longtime dream, Me/And/Dad consists of new versions of fourteen bluegrass and country classics that the two have been playing together since
Strings was a young child. Released to overwhelming acclaim, NPR Musicpraised, "exuberant interplay…a match made tender by the familiar harmonies of these two lifelong picking partners," while The Wall Street Journal declared, "Me/And/Dad works beautifully…the guitars from the principals along with mandolin, banjo, fiddle and bass are expertly played with joy and verve" and Billboard proclaimed, "Top-notch, wooly bluegrass picking wraps around distinct, family harmonies throughout."
Raised in Michigan and now based in Nashville,
Strings has been awarded Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards, Artist of the Year at the 2023 and 2022 Americana
Music Awards, Entertainer of the Year at the 2023, 2022 and 2021 International Bluegrass
Music Awards, Best New Headliner at the 2022 Pollstar Awards and Breakthrough Artist of the Pandemic at the 2021 Pollstar Awards among several other accolades.
He has also performed on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," PBS' "Austin City Limits" and "Bluegrass Underground."
