Two luminaries in the ever-expanding sphere of bluegrass and roots music, Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle, joined Starr on his top-shelf performance, with Strings taking lead vocals. The towering talents of these three musicians, with the ace backing band, drew one of the evening’s many standing ovations from the packed Ryman Auditorium audience.

Billy Strings got another guitar to add to his collection after Jack White gifted him a custom ax following their shows with Ringo Starr.
