Guitar wizard Billy Strings is in session!

Bluegrass sensation Billy Strings is the home session guest, plus new music from Eric Church, Tenille Townes & Lindsay Ell with Dolly, Kenny & Willie beaming in from Glastos past!

For the latest in his Home Sessions series, Bob's joined by the bluegrass prodigy Billy Strings, playing songs from his record breaking album "Home".

A stunningly virtuosic multi-instrumentalist, Strings - born William Apostol - was given his nickname by an aunt, amazed by Billy's ability to play virtually any stringed intstrument seemingly at will.

You can hear for yourself tonight when Billy swings by from his home in Nashville!

Plus there's exclusive new music from Eric Church, Tenille Townes & Lindsay Ell, and a trip in the Glastonbury time machine with Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and Willie Nelson!

During the Covid-19 pandemic, when so many musicians are unable to tour, Radio 2's Country Show is asking artists to perform from their own front room, doing a little to keep the bond between artist and audience alive. First up was Carly Pearce, followed by Thomas Rhett, Mandy Barnett, Gretchen Peters, Steve Earle, Kip Moore, Lukas Nelson & Willie Jones with the likes of Ingrid Andress, Ruthie Collins and Scotty McCreery to come.
