BILLY STRINGS WINS BEST BLUEGRASS ALBUM
AT THE 68TH GRAMMY AWARDS

EXTENSIVE HEADLINE TOUR UNDERWAY

February 2, 2026—Last night, acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Billy Strings earned his third Grammy, taking home Best Bluegrass Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards for his most recent full-length album, Highway Prayers—his second consecutive win in the category.

Produced by Strings and Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Mac Miller, Aimee Mann) and released via Reprise Records, Highway Prayers debuted at #1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales Chart—the first bluegrass album in 22 years to do so—and continues to receive widespread acclaim, with GQ calling Strings “the hottest roots-music phenomenon in decades” and Pitchfork praising, “the bluegrass wunderkind expands his palette, exploring new textures and emotional registers while staying true to his beloved genre.” In support of the new music, Strings performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, was featured on NPR’s Fresh Air and appeared on The Howard Stern Show, where he performed “Escanaba” and spoke with the host. Listen to Highway Prayers HERE.

An electric live performer, Strings is in the midst of an extensive headline tour including upcoming stops at Boston’s Agganis Arena, Portland’s Cross Insurance Arena (two nights), Ionia’s County Fairgrounds (two nights), Asheville’s ExploreAshville.com Arena (four nights) and Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (two nights), followed by an exclusive performance at the Ryman Auditorium. See below for complete tour itinerary.

Following Highway Prayers, Strings released an exclusive Apple Music Nashville Sessions EP featuring reworked songs from the record as well as a surprise collaborative album, Live at the Legion, with Bryan Sutton (stream/purchase here). Recorded live on April 7, 2024 at Nashville’s American Legion Post 82, the album showcases the acclaimed duo performing 20 traditional bluegrass and folk songs, including new renditions of Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright,” Doc Watson’s “Way Downtown” and more.

Since his 2017 debut, Strings has been awarded Best Bluegrass Album at the 68th, 67th and 63rd Grammy Awards, Artist of the Year at the 2023 and 2022 Americana Music Awards, Entertainer of the Year at the 2025, 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 Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, PBS’ Austin City Limits and Bluegrass Underground as well as countless sold-out shows worldwide.
