HARDLY STRICTLY BLUEGRASS AT GOLDEN GATE PARK, FRI/29-SUN/1
The crowd at HSB 2019
You know it’s fall in the Bay when a three-day, multi-stage free music festival turns Golden Gate Park into a roving cavalcade of goodwill, great tunes, and family fun. Sounds corny? Well let me tell you, the way things are going, we could use some corny, good old-fashioned fun to take the edge off.
I’m talking Irma Thomas, Bettye LaVette, Orchestra Gold, Neal Francis, Jimmie Dale Gilmore & The West Texas Exiles, The Church, Lucero, Rufus Wainwright, Say She She, and many more quality acts. That’s not corny, just cool AF. (Hope that’s family-friendly abbreviated enough.) But you know what we mean. Entrances will open at 11am on Friday and 9am on Saturday and Sunday. Performances will end at 7pm every day.
