WATCH – Billy Strings joins Zach Top onstage in Denver

Jan 24, 2025, 5:30 PM | Updated: 6:27 pm

Two of the hottest musicians in any genre of music shared the stage in a surprise performance last night (Jan. 23) in Denver.

Zach Top, one of the rising stars in the country scene, was playing a sold-out show at the iconic Grizzly Rose in Denver. However, what made the night even more memorable was a surprise guest appearance from Grammy Award-winning guitarist and bluegrass prodigy Billy Strings, sending the crowd into a frenzy and elevating the already electric atmosphere to new heights.

Billy Strings is in Denver for three shows at Ball Arena, so Zach brought him out to perform the bluegrass hit, “Freeborn Man.” The two also performed Top’s track “Bad Luck” and threw in some incredible solos.
