Meet Me at the Rocks: The High-Altitude Evolution of Billy Strings

Michigan is Billy Strings' home ground — he's played more live shows there than anywhere else, well past two hundred ninety and counting. But no other state comes close to what Colorado has meant to his rise. From a Don Julin duo show at a Colorado Springs barbecue joint in May 2014 to a three-night sellout at Denver's Ball Arena a decade later, Billy Strings has played Colorado ninety-one times — more than any state besides home — and this book tells that story show by show, and wherever a setlist survives, song by song.

Meet Me at the Rocks traces the full arc: the ski-town bar and house-show circuit of 2014–2016, a breakout 2017 that landed him on Rolling Stone's radar, the festival-heavy touring of 2018, a 2019 Red Rocks debut as a support act opening for Greensky Bluegrass, a surreal no-audience pandemic livestream from that same stage in 2020, the founding of his own festival — Renewal — on a meadow outside Buena Vista in 2021, back-to-back sold-out Red Rocks headline stands in 2022 and 2023, a move to the larger Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre in 2024, and a record-setting three-night run at Ball Arena in January 2025. As this book goes to print, three more Colorado dates are already sold out: two more nights at Ball Arena and a date at Denver's intimate, 1,870-seat Paramount Theatre, all in September 2026 — proof that Billy Strings can fill a small room as easily as an arena.

Every one of the eighty-eight documented Colorado shows gets its full setlist, embedded right in the chapter that tells its story — no flipping to a back-of-book appendix required. Where no setlist survives, as is true for a handful of the earliest bar and house shows, this book says so plainly rather than guessing. It also follows the Colorado jam and bluegrass scene that grew up around him: recurring sit-ins from Greensky Bluegrass, The String Cheese Incident, and Leftover Salmon, the emotional 2024 Renewal weekend he missed for the birth of his son, and the three Grammy wins for Best Bluegrass Album that followed.

Inside this book:

• A researched history of Billy Strings' rise from Michigan and Kentucky roots through the Don Julin duo years to a headlining act
• Every documented Colorado performance, 2014–2025, with dates, venues, and guest appearances, plus three already sold-out September 2026 shows
• Complete setlists embedded chapter by chapter for all eighty-eight played shows — no separate setlist section
• The stories behind the biggest nights: the 2019 Red Rocks opening slot, the 2020 no-audience livestream, two sold-out Red Rocks headline runs, and the founding of the Renewal festival
• An honest account of the 2024 Renewal weekend Billy Strings missed for his son's birth, and the ticket refund that followed
• A complete personnel and band-lineup appendix

For fans planning a Colorado run of their own, for readers of this series' companion volumes on The String Cheese Incident and Umphrey's McGee at Red Rocks, and for anyone curious how a Michigan flatpicker built a second home in the Rockies, Meet Me at the Rocks is the most complete record of that relationship yet assembled.
