There will be no in-person ticket sales at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre Box Office or the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall Box Office.

Strings, who was raised in Michigan and is now based in Nashville, has a new album, “So Much For Goodbyes,” produced by T Bone Burnett. The record finds him channeling a deeply personal period into what the announcement describes as his most musically mature and reflective work to date.

Strings won his third Grammy Award and second consecutive Best Bluegrass Album Grammy at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards for “Highway Prayers.” The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales chart, the first bluegrass album to do so in 22 years.
