"So, grab your picnic blanket, invite some friends and get ready to enjoy three days, Oct. 3-5, of great music on multiple stages at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Oh, and you know what you can leave at home? The money that you'd usually need to buy tickets, since this festival - which was founded in 2001 by billionaire philanthropist and mega-music lover Warren Hellman - is still free to attend."
"The legendary Long Beach country-folk-rock act has been making music since the '60s and boasts a songbook that includes such fan favorites as "Dance Little Jean," "Make a Little Magic," "Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream)," "Modern Day Romance," "Fishin' in the Dark" and, best of all, "An American Dream." Oh, yeah, and they also did a tune that everyone who lived through the '70s knows - "Mr. Bojangles.""
"Margo Price "Midwest Farmer's Daughter," Price's debut album from 2016, was nothing short of astounding - opening our ears to a new country music great, one with a voice reminiscent of Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and other legends of the genre. Since that moment, Price has kept crafting worthy albums, including the newly released "Hard Headed Woman." Details: 4:05 p.m., Banjo Stage"
