About the Film
Across America’s highways, parking lots, and arenas, a new kind of pilgrimage is unfolding. Gospel of Strings follows the believers who orbit the music of Billy Strings — a modern bluegrass prodigy turned unlikely spiritual figure — revealing a traveling community searching for redemption, connection, and meaning in a fractured age. It’s the story of a movement disguised as a fanbase, and the people who’ve built a culture around sound, faith, and the open road.
Billy Strings didn’t set out to lead anyone. But his music — a blazing fusion of bluegrass heritage and psychedelic improvisation — has become a cultural gravitational field. Thousands now follow him across the country, forming a roaming micro-society with its own rituals, hierarchies, conflicts, and care networks.
This film is not a biography of Billy Strings.
It is the story of the people who believe in him, and what their devotion reveals about America today.
About me
I’ve been chasing music since I was five, when my KISS records outnumbered my toys. From Prince, INXS, and the Smiths to underground hip-hop, indie rock, and experimental noise, my tastes have always spanned genres and scenes. In college, I hosted a radio show on 89.3 FM WNUR and DJ’d house and drum & bass before diving even deeper into the avant-garde.
A 2018 trip to Jazz Fest sparked a now all-consuming love for the Grateful Dead and the jam band scene. As a filmmaker with over two decades of creative experience, I’m bringing those passions together to capture the people, culture, and magic of the scene.
