Cool dads across Houston are circling December 9 on their calendars. That’s when bluegrass artist Billy Strings will perform at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land.

Announced this week, the Houston-area concert is part of a series of dates that begins in Denver in September and ends with the tour’s only other Texas stop in Fort Worth on December 11. Strings will also appear at Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic in Austin on July 4.

The artist has helped revive bluegrass with his masterful guitar playing and improvisational jams. By incorporating psychedelic sounds, the Grammy winner has drawn a wide fanbase. The setlist is expected to include favorites such as “Dust in a Baggie.”

Strings’ most recent album, Highway Prayers, was released in 2024. It earned him his second Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.

Tickets for the Sugar Land performance go on sale at 10 am on Friday, April 3 via ATG Tickets.
