We're so excited we can't stand it.
So here's a Hardly Strictly artist preview.
Again, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is the free music festival in Golden Gate Park every October. This year it's the weekend of October 4th, 5th and 6th. First and foremost, our own personal favorite is Martha Wainwright. The liveliest and sharpest member of the New York/Canadian McGarrigle-Wainwright dynasty, Martha's a killer live performer. Guaranteed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9baaOBF1ipY Then there's Swedish sister-duo First Aid Kit. They're astonishing (they were born in the '90's!) and they'll be performing with Conor Oberst's ensemble. They're like a light-infused trumpety Emmylou Harris (heresy we know, but trust us): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At4HhgHtBHk Local garage-rock act Sonny & the Sunsets, who we previewed for their latest album "Antenna to the Afterworld," will be performing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJCkkf-jVvc The legendary and inimitable Emmylou Harris will be making an appearance. And seriously, if you haven't done yourself the favor yet, you must see her. You must, you must. Please. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddwv_2kC2SI That all we're giving you for today. But stay tuned, we'll give you the daily lineups when they post. Happy listening.
