This weekend is the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park here in San Francisco. Some of the Friday bands include Kurt Vile & The Violators, Robert Plant & The Band Of Joy, Southern Culture On The Skids, Thurston Moore, Jolie Holland, Chris Isaak, M. Ward, Bright Eyes, and, oh yeah, MC Hammer. Saturday acts include +Robyn Hitchcock, Punch Brothers, +Broken Social Scene, Cass McCombs Band, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, and Kris Kristofferson & Merle Haggard. Then on Sunday there's Emmylou Harris, +Jessica Lea Mayfield, The Low Anthem, +DeVotchKa, +Elbow, +Bob Mould, and +Those Darlins.
"+" denotes acts I would like to see but it will all depend on the baseball playoffs. I will be busy on Friday hosting 480 Minutes, so even though I'd like to see Vile, Plant, Oberst, and few others, I'm going to miss those Friday acts. Please make it up to me by getting in touch, letting me know where you are listening from, and maybe even making a request or two.
