Hardly Strictly Bluegrass today announces a third round of artists for their highly anticipated 2023 return to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park September 29-October 1.

We are now less than a month from dawning on the desert for Unison Festival 2023. This intentional arts gathering is held at Tico Time Resort near Durango, CO from September 7-10, 2023.  The festival experience includes music, art, yoga, ecstatic dance, swimming, workshops, and a sacred fire held through the weekend.

Bluegrass may have its roots in Appalachia, but it has sown its seeds far and wide. Northern California in particular has been fertile ground for country pickin' for decades, with legends Peter Rowan and David Grisman among the many genre luminaries who have made their home among the Bay Area's redwoods.

Chris Isaak and his fabulous band were scheduled to play a 90-minute set just after sunset with no opening band at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles, CA on Saturday, August 12th. But that didn’t stop many devoted fans from showing up at the venue several hours before the doors opened.
