Hardly Strictly Bluegrass has announced its first batch of artists for its 25th anniversary festival.
This initial lineup for the three-day free Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, set for Oct. 3-5 at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, includes Lucinda Williams, Courtney Barnett, Samara Joy, The String Cheese Incident, Reverend Horton Heat, Watchhouse, Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Dan Tyminski Band, Josh Ritter & The Royal City Band and Chuck Prophet and His Cumbia Shoes.
“For 25 years, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass has been a testament to the power of music to bring people together—free, inclusive, and rooted in the spirit of community,” said Sheri Sternberg, one of the founders and Executive Producer of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. “What started as a humble celebration of bluegrass has grown into a beloved San Francisco tradition that honors the past while embracing the future. We’re proud to carry forward the legacy of (festival founder) Warren Hellman and look forward to gathering once again in Golden Gate Park for a weekend of unforgettable music.”
