Sunday Thing-To-Do: Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Eight
5October2008
Plain and simple. If I was going, I’d be having the time of my life…unfortunately I have to work. But there are too many historic acts performing at this free festival of true musical spirit to just miss out. Friday displayed acts like MC Hammer (?) and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, while Saturday hosted acts like Steve Earle, Richard Thompson, and the Waco Brothers. This Sunday, if you are in the Bay Area at all, you cannot, I repeat, cannot miss this festival. You will surely be missing out. From veteran songwriters to amateur banjo players, you have it all. From folk legend Greg Brown and Mr. Costello himself to the epic live performers Gogol Bordello and indie-folk hero Iron & Wine; there is no reason (except if you work for a living…like me) for you not to go to this. Oh did I mention it’s free?
What are you waiting for? Go!
