"Hardly Strictly Bluegrass -the annual free, three-day music festival at Golden Gate Park-each year presents a diverse range of music including its namesake bluegrass, but also a wide variety of American roots music like soul, rock, country, and folk. The festival's lineup extends to other genres as well, with recent years including acts in funk, world music, and indie blues, and this year's festival, for the big 25th anniversary, was no exception."
"Festival regulars like Emmy Lou Harris and the psychedelic band Moonalice were on the schedule with newcomers like I'm With Her, Sinkane, Watchhouse, and even Scuff: Queer Line Dancing featuring the Eric Long Band. The lineup always includes musical treasures-unexpected moments that are memorable and that often bring together multiple performers in collaborations that feel, and often are, spontaneous. One of these was the Celebration of Hazel Dickens,"
