Hardly Strictly Bluegrass this Weekend

By admin, October 1, 2009 3:12 pm

Hardly Strictly BluegrassThis time of year the talk of the neighborhood is the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park. The year the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival boasts a lineup that includes headliners like Lyle Lovett, Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris and Boz Scaggs. But they’ve also got Steve Martin playing banjo and MC Hammer. That “Hardly” sure came in handy when the king of parachute pants signed on. Grab a blanket, some friends, and some sunscreen (it’s been hot out here in the Sunset the past few days!) and head on down. This year they are expecting 500,000 people so get there early to stake out the best spot.
