The collaboration we didn’t know we needed. You won’t find a lot of modern-day superstars in the bluegrass music scene, and that’s honestly okay, because Billy Strings has it pretty much covered. Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson sometimes dip into the realm of bluegrass, but there’s no one who can fill an arena by flat-pickin’ quite like William Lee Apostol, A.K.A.

Safe to say that the moose has the right of way in basically every situation. I’ve said it once (actually many times) and I’ll say it again: I don’t think people understand just how big moose are.
