American guitarist and bluegrass musician Billy Strings will perform at the Bryce Jordan Center on August 2 and 3, the BJC announced Tuesday morning. Tickets for the event will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 15.

Now 31 years old, Strings was regarded as a bluegrass prodigy in his early playing days. During the late 2010s, Strings was featured repeatedly in Rolling Stone. He released his debut album, “Turmoil and Tinfoil,” in 2017, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard bluegrass charts.

Two years later, his album “Home” was top of the bluegrass and heatseekers charts. His most recent album “Renewal” was top of the charts in bluegrass, No. 9 in country music, and No. 82 across the United States.

Strings is one of several country artists to play at the Bryce Jordan Center in 2024, including Zach Bryan, Luke Combs, Kacey Musgraves, and Jelly Roll.
