| News: 2008 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival Lineup Taking Shape |
BMNN wrote:  Each year, Warren Hellman gives his community a giant musical gift -- The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. The huge free music festival is held in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. This is a massive event that features scores of top roots, Americana, and, yes, even bluegrass artists. This October, the eighth rendition of the festival will unfold to thousands of music fans who take over the park. As many of the Super Bluegrass Festivals are today, this one isn't strictly bluegrass and caters to a wider audience while keeping the interest and the following right at home.
