Fresh off releasing his latest album, Highway Prayers, this past September, Billy Strings has stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thanksgiving night a performance of his song, “Seven Weeks in County.”
Taking the Tonight Show stage alongside his band, Strings brought the dark, gritty bluegrass sound of “Seven Weeks in County” to life, leaning into the remorseful Western narrative and playing the musical interludes with impressive ease. Throughout, the interplay of his group is on full display, dynamically ebbing and flowing as each of the instrument’s parts weaved together like a tapestry. Watch the video of the performance below.
